English Country Style HomeThe English Country Style Home has been around for centuries. However, what most Americans perceive as "English Country" is not necessarily the same as what is true to the English. The countryside of England is filled with enormous country estates built for the prominent upper class as a retreat from city life. These country estates were the European architects dream; reflecting the Georgian, Italian, Greek, and French influences of that time period.
The "English Country" influence that we see today reflects not necessarily the magnitude of the home, but the essence of its character from the English lifestyle. We picture an English Country home to be: small, rustic, and quaint... ...filled with the aroma of scones baking in the oven, floral chintz fabrics, and afternoon tea. The exterior of the home is cottage-like. Wrapped with stucco and stone, steep roofs with flaring eaves rounded corners at the arched doors and windows, prominent chimneys, and, of course, a picket fence enclosing a beautiful English garden. __________________________________ E-mail:
