English House Plans

Builders Plan Mart's Tudor Revival and English Cottage style house plans derived from early English sources. Steeply-pitched roofs, decorative half-timbering and casement windows are commonly found on most variations. Chimneys are very large and commonly decorated with ornate chimney pots.

Several different siding treatments are common including brick, stucco, stone, and wood shingle or clapboard. Brick was particularly popular and various wall combinations are commonly seen. Interiors are frequently dark with stained trim, wainscotings, and doors.

Windows are often casement types opening out as well as double-hung window. Multiple windows are arranged in ribbons across the façade. The hardware and lighting fixtures are often wrought or simulated wrought iron.
