The Cotswold Cottage style of architecture is often referred to as the Storybook style. This architectural style originated in the Cotswold region of England and came to the United States in the mid to late twentieth century as a result in a renewed interest in medieval housing styles.
The Cotswold often uses features of the Tudor style only smaller in square footage with steep arched gables*, and arched doorways that look a bit like a pointed hat. The walls are usually constructed of brick, stone and stucco or a combination of all three. The interior rooms are often small and irregularly shaped in a charming cozy way. On the exterior there is usually a prominent chimney that is placed near the front door.
