What is a serfs cottage made of?

A serf's cottage was typically constructed from locally available materials, primarily timber and wattle, with mud or thatch used for insulation and roofing. The walls were often made of wattle and daub, a technique that involved weaving branches together and then plastering them with a mixture of mud and straw. The roofs were commonly thatched with straw or reeds to provide protection from the elements. These cottages were simple and functional, designed to meet the basic needs of the serf family.
