Well, at long last, cottage #2 completed, excepting guttering, downpipes and chimney pots.

Thanks again to @40057 for pointing out several details that I had ignored or overlooked, especially the general layout of the rear of the cottage. I'm so happy with the result that the next task will be re-working the rear of cottage #1. I don't have any photos of the back of this particular cottage, so I have borrowed the layout from another.

‘Cottage 2’ looks great.

On the photographs of the cottages, rust staining on the slates below the cast-iron roof lights due to salt spray is very noticeable.

Thanks @40057 : your comment means a lot to me.

As for the rust marks, that will be a challenge for me to model.

The renovations to cottage #1 are complete (-ish). I can't believe it's taken a month, but there it is.

The front hasn't changed, but the back has, from this ...



... to this ...



... which is considerably more representative.

Here's both the cottages in place ...



One day, there will be a road at the front, covering up the bare plywood.

And here are the cottages from the back, which no one will ever see ...




Cottage #3 will be next inline, literally: an interesting variant that has been called a half-and-half.
