That's not the name of the house though is it... If it doesn't have a
name, the name field should be left blank. And "Thingy Cottage" as
appropriate, obvs.
There seems to be a page for addresses in the UK:

The trouble with putting the house number in the name field is that a
data consumer (tile renderer, nav app etc) may want to put house names
on buildings at a suitable zoom level, but may choose not to have
numbers, etc. Now it gets messy because the data is inconsistent.
