I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at, but it looks big!

I guess that bigness is a relative term. 

the survey is printed on an extra-large sheet of paper -- too big for the scanner, so I took a digichrome of it.  but the online image of the drawing might not be detailed enough to show that the basic cottage structure (excluding the front porch and the side and rear decks) is 14 ft wide and 76 ft long, which is not large by today's standards (at least not in the US -- in Japan I suppose it might; you would know that better than I).  the large addition to the rear (upper left hand part of the outline) adds another 20⁺ ft to the width but the plan is for it to be torn down and not replaced, at least not within the current phase of renovations.  the survey shows that the lot is 59 ft wide in front and 44 ft wide in the rear, which is probably also not considered large for contemporary US suburban housing.
