It has a plastic 'leaded' window stuck to the front and a door cut out. Green 'plates' are painted onto the walls. The back wall lifts up by using a tack for a handle and swivelling on two nails. The base is a piece of wood, painted green and brown, on to which the cottage is glued. A red, black and white label is stuck to the bottom.
