Style

English Country Cottage

Inspired by Cotswolds vernacular (Bibury, Castle Combe, Painswick), Sir Edwin Lutyens country houses· no affiliation

Honey limestone, mullioned leaded windows, slate roof, wisteria — Cotswolds country manor.

• Honey-coloured Cotswolds limestone walls — coursed dressed-stone, never thin veneer.
• Mullioned leaded-glass casement windows in stone surrounds.
• Steep gabled stone-slate roof, often with eyebrow dormers.
• Tall stone chimney stacks with multiple flues, often topped with stone caps.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
