English Tudor-Cottage Style
A Pattern Book guide to the details that define this style at The Fields.
English Tudor-Cottage Style
English Cottage style homes are smaller in size and typically one to two stories. It is often referred to as Storybook style. The asymmetrical homes tend to be cozy and have irregular shaped rooms. The exterior walls have stucco, which is mandatory if chosen as a style in Riverbend communities.
Large fireplaces with clay chimney pots and decorative brick work are preferred in the English Cottage style. Ornate detail is not completely necessary in this style, but when concentrated — such as small vertical windows — it helps to express the height in the gables.
