Lovely houses in Houghton and Wyton

As Martin Luther King once said, "I have a dream". But mine is to one day live in a house like the glorious examples here. Some are grand, others more modest, but they all have character (and a big Council Tax bill).

Where I can see the signs, I have identified the houses and cottages herein; perhaps someone may be able to enlighten me if there are any I have missed. As usual, if you click on the small images, you can get a big version to print, colour-in or just adore and love for all time.
