**Cottage windows** are visible in this view of a [bungalow](/source/Bungalow)-style house dating to 1921.

A **cottage window** is a [double-hung window](/source/Double-hung_window) — i.e., a window with two sashes sliding up and down, hung with one atop the other in the same frame — in which the upper sash is smaller (shorter) than the lower one.

The upper sash often contains smaller lights divided by [muntins](/source/Muntin) (often known as a "divided light pattern" or "grille"), although in some cases both sashes may be divided.

Cottage windows are especially characteristic of [bungalow](/source/Bungalow) or [Craftsman](/source/American_Craftsman)-style houses. It is also called a "front window".
