Half Penny Cottage

Our Half Penny Cottage was inspired by so many of the appealing, buttery- tan stone cottages one finds in the Cotawolds, west of London.  Typical ancient design elements such as the steep slate or stone roofs, tall casement windows, buttery-tan stone and warm textures make these cottages so desirable.

The style is un-pretentious, simple and straight forward, yet elegant.  This cottage is functional yet efficient and cozy.  With 2,351 square feet, it seems just right with an open floor plan and lots of natural light.  Come take a tour of one of our newest plans and see for yourself.

You will immediately recognize this as a Cotswold cottage as you approach this warm, charming little house.  Upon entering a welcoming, stone vestibule, a staircase winds before you within a two story foyer leading to the second floor bedrooms.

A opposite ends of the house, a generous great room with fireplace and french doors leading to the terrace steps down to a lower level to your right, while the master suite and connecting bath is to the left.  This offers complete privacy and seclusion from the "active" areas of the house.

Straight ahead, a large, open kitchen adjoins a sunny, dining/breakfast area just off the terrace.  Arched openings from the foyer and kitchen facilitate circulation and make this plan ideally suited for entertaining. 

At the top of a winding staircase overlooking the foyer below, a "working" corridor doubles as usful space for a long work space and book shelves above.  Bedrooms with private baths lie on either end of the hall offering privacy and views of the garden below.
