View of a small thatched cottage standing on a hillock beside a river or estuary which lies to left of composition. A bank of flowers lies in the foreground. An elderly woman walks along the path leading to the cottage door; a child stands in the doorway watching her approach. 
Which 'last house' rather depends on yoour route; if it is the old route to Sark Bridge this could be Guards Cottage?
