Cotswold

A subvarient of the Tudor style, Cotswold designs are based on the simpler medieval cottages of the Cotswold region of England as opposed to larger and more elaborate manor homes that most of the Tudor style is based on. While Cotswold designs share some features of the Tudor style, it has several elements that are specific to it.

Characteristics include:
A) Very simple roof structures, all steeply pitched. Front gables sometimes used.
B) Multiple large chimneys, generally simpler in design than the Tudor style
C) Tall and narrow windows, commonly in multiple groups with multipane glazing
D) Little to no overhang at the eaves
E) Use of only a single exterior material (generally a rough cut stone, although ocassionaly brick is used instead)
