English Cottages were prominent in New England and the South, where settlers drew on the traditions of their homeland to build quaint homes surrounded by lush gardens. Common features of today's English Cottage style home plans include casement windows, shingle siding, charming shutters, and prominent stone-covered chimneys. This style would provide the perfect vacation cottage, or site it on a small urban lot and plant prolific gardens in the English tradition. Like the Tudor style, some cottages may display half timbering on the exterior.
