Tudor Revival Style Home

Larger and more stately than a Cotswold Cottage, the Tudor Revival Style Home is a beautiful rendition of characteristics taken from the original medieval Tudor style architecture built in the 16^th Century.

Original Tudor construction consisted of a post and beam frame-work, in-filled with plaster, with the surfaces of the timbers left exposed. Today, the exposed post and beam are replaced with decorative facial timbers applied over a solid stucco surface.

Common Tudor Revival features may include:

1-1/2 to 2-1/2 Stories

The ½ and Second Stories maintain the decorative timbering over stucco, where the ground floor level is bricked; aka: half-timbering.

Beautiful Combinations of Cross Gabled and/or Hipped Roofs.

Tall-narrow multi-paned windows.

Large ornate chimneys

Tall, narrow windows.
