This is beginning to look like a severe outbreak of Ivy Cottages:

There is the one at Northend on the Newent Road. Probably not relevant to this query.

There is the one by the Butcher’s. Looking on Google Maps the sign on the wall is a bit blurred but almost certainly is Ivy Cottage.

GR 1911 Census identifies another one in North Road, occupied by a Frederick Thomas RUCK, gardener.

There is one in Solomon's Tump Lane - still called Ivy Cottage.

There is the one next to the Post Office on the main road.

I imagine it is possible that Louisa HARRY had moved to another property owned by the GREENs before her death in 1918. The house she occupied in 1911 is nowadays identified as Ivy House on Google Maps. Intriguingly the house on the left (presumably the GREEN’s former shop?) has a sign on the door which is mostly unreadable but says PULL TO OPEN at the bottom. There is also a logo unfamiliar to me.
