“A Rustic, English Cotswold”

English Cotswold


Summer/Fall 2011 Listing!

$774,900

     This charming English Cotswold cottage-style home is also a unique property in Manor Country Club. It is one of the original homes in the neighborhood and was built by the architect, Charles Zeller from plans that he drew up while living in the Cotswold Country of England after World War I. Upon his return, he constructed this and other similar homes in Manor in the 1930’s. The home is located on a quiet, treed and landscaped lot facing the Manor golf course. It is built of brick and stone with a slate roof. One of its unique features is the round, castle-like turret in the center, which also contains the front entrance doorway. The front door leads inside to a petite, circular foyer with a curved stairwell that goes to the upstairs bedrooms. The foyer also has entrances to all of the other rooms found on the first level, including a short hallway that leads to the dramatic, sunken living room with a beamed cathedral ceiling.

     The home has three small bedrooms on the upper level with a fourth located in the basement, as well as three full baths, and a powder room on the first floor. The first level also has a galley style kitchen with a small, sunny breakfast area; a dining room, a den with a petite fireplace, and a bay window that overlooks the golf course. The living room is characterized by dark, Chestnut paneled walls, beams and wood triming, across its cathedral ceiling, and upper walls; as well as a set of double doors that lead to a small screened porch with a stone floor, which overlooks the golf course. At one end of the living room, is a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace framed on one side by some built-in shelves, set into the Chestnut-paneled walls. At the opposite end, is a beautiful Palladian window centered in between the paneling and the lower portion of the beamed ceiling. The cathedral ceiling features church-like beams with wood trim between sections of the wall, above the paneling. The flooring is also of dark Chestnut wood. Similarly, the dining room features wood beams as well, but has a flat ceiling rather than a cathedral.

      A doorway from the front foyer, next to the entrance to the breakfast room, leads to another flight of curved stairs that go down to the basement level, which is unfinished except for a small, fourth bedroom and full bath. This lower level has ample storage space as well as laundry facilities.
