On the latest version of Pottendorf there is a small cottage for the farmworker, it has a couple of fruit trees, vegetable garden and chicken coop.
The Faller cottage has a vague similarity to the Häcker family house from Ergersheim preserved as building 12 at the Fränkische Freilandmuseum in Bad Windsheim. Rather scratchbuilding maybe just the removal of the lower level of fachwerke?
Adding the Polyfilla render
These archive images show the original building and its original proportions.
The building is a timberframe built around 1706 and an external stucco finish on the lower section of the walls .
Link to the museum's description click here and in the book below.
The cottage, below is a new kit that was reworked. There really wasn’t too
much scope the lengthen the building as the sub-base of the scene is
finished but it has lost the fachwerk (timber framing)
below the top of the ground floor windows. It has been carefully stipled with AK Interactive Terrains
acrylic, a texture normally used for roads etc.
I am fine with its actual size although it is about 30% too short compared to the Häcker family house but all other dimensions are 1:87 moreover buildings of this size were once common until the '70s when living in a two down one up became unacceptable.

Although unfinished, the result will be acceptable
At the bottom of the cottage garden, there are some chickens
