Classicism of English style for decoration country houses attracts both designers and ordinary people with its functionality, rigor and ability to well demonstrate the taste and character of its guests. Photos of English-style houses demonstrate the external roughness of unlined facades with low-lying window openings and a bright red tiled roof.
Distinctive elements outside English apartments are considered:
- wall surfaces made of natural stone elements or bricks;
- lack of carved parts;
- asymmetry in the location of the exterior composition;
- presence of columns;
- narrow color palette;
- gable roof;
- The area near the house is planted with a garden and flowers.
Types of English country buildings
The architecture of English buildings is recognizable all over the world. There are three main architectural and construction trends with their own characteristics and features.
Tudor house style. Visually, such buildings resemble fairy-tale village houses. However, the appearance is a little rough.
The main architectural features of this type are:
- the presence of high pediments on the main façade;
- roof with a steep slope and uneven edges;
- large chimney and miniature dormer windows;
- the general outlines of the building are asymmetrical;
- the entrance has an arched design.
Georgian architectural style. For the modern English built world this direction is the most popular. Georgian buildings look magnificent and simple at the same time.
The direction is characterized by the following features:
- symmetry;
- window openings of the same size, which have the same location;
- lack of various kinds of decorations;
- the main facade of the building is decorated with five windows;
- the entrance door is located very low;
- low roof.
Victorian direction. It features decorative cladding and contrasting color combinations.
Its features:
- asymmetrical arrangement;
- overall veranda area;
- decorative finishing of wall surfaces with stone or siding;
- ornamental and stucco elements.
The main feature of houses made in the English style is the construction of the building from red brick. Thanks to this material, which has a very reasonable cost, the life of the house increases.
Another advantage is high sound insulation qualities indoors.
An English apartment project is characterized by the presence of two full floors and, in some cases, an attic. The entrance to the room is located in the middle.
Architectural features
The foundation of a typical English residential building is very low, so the floor surface practically coincides with the ground plane. You won’t be able to find the usual basements and garages in the house, since the English style does not imply this.
Sometimes owners can equip a small cellar or storage room in their home. The external façade is not decorated or clad in any way, so it looks rather rough.
Window openings of rectangular or square shape on the first level are located low. The roof of the house is covered with red tiles, its shape is sharp, and the structure is very high. IN recent years The roofs of English houses are made of straw or reeds.
A porch is attached to a house only if the building is located on a site with a slope. But entrance doors and windows are often framed by awnings.
The ivy climbing along the canopy brings special luxury to the design of an English-style house. It is customary to plant small gardens and create picturesque flower beds next to English residential buildings.
Layout inside the house
The main living area of the first floor is represented by a spacious living room, which, as a rule, is combined with a dining room, corridor areas and a hall. The guest room must be made light, since there are many window openings in the room. Another room on the first level is a study.
The second floor is considered the sleeping area. There are three bedrooms in total, one of which has a bathroom and wardrobe.
Interior composition of the house
The main conditions for creating an English interior for a private home are comfort and coziness. The living room is arranged in such a way that it is comfortable for all guests and household members to be here.
Natural wood is chosen as finishing materials typical for working in the English style. The floor surfaces are covered with noble parquet covering.
The chosen direction is characterized by large spacious areas for the living room, however, with the help of design techniques in small rooms it is possible to create a project that is distinguished by its effectiveness and style.
A mandatory element of interior decoration characteristic of the English style is the fireplace. It acts as the center of the entire interior composition in the guest area.
The fireplace can be faced with various materials such as marble, wood or lime panels. On the shelf above the fireplace it is customary to display clocks, bronze sculptures, flowerpots with flowers and snuff boxes with cigarette cases.
The English stylistic direction is perfect for decorating a private country residence.

Some houses have an unusual shape, which can be dictated by both fashion and the irregular geometric shape of the territory. For example, L-shaped buildings were erected on corner plots to reduce the area occupied by the house. If you build an ordinary rectangular house, then it will occupy most of the territory. But over time, thanks to design solutions, such buildings acquired, in addition to compactness and rationality, a stylish appearance.
Design Features
Before you start building a house, you need to choose the optimal location for it and create a project.
When drafting an L-shaped building, you should adhere to some recommendations:
- The corner of the house is directed to the north, and the blind side should be placed on the leeward side. This arrangement will help protect the patio from the winds and create a favorable climate in it.
- The wings of the structure can be either the same in length or different. The angle between them can be right, obtuse or acute.
- If desired, they can make either one entrance opening onto the patio (it will always be protected from adverse weather conditions), or two, placing them on different gables of the building (they can also be equipped with a terrace). The second option will be an ideal choice if two families live in the house.
- It is advisable to build a one-story L-shaped house; if necessary, you can equip an attic. It is not recommended to construct such multi-story buildings.
- The width of the gables of the wings is made the same or different.
- Building materials can be bricks, timber or panels. Most often, rounded or laminated veneer lumber is used.
- The project can include a garage, veranda or terrace.

Drawings of L-shaped houses
On the drawing of the house all rooms of the building are indicated:
- It is better to place the boiler room at the basement level, which will ensure uniform heating of all rooms. IN wooden houses It is necessary to pay special attention to fire safety.
- Corner architecture makes it possible to separate the “noisy” zone (living room and playroom) from the “quiet” zone (bedroom and office), placing them in different wings. It is recommended to place a kitchen and a dining room between them.
- A garage is often built into buildings with the letter L, in which there are 2 entrances: from the street and from the house, which is convenient in winter. The garage is heated from unified system. Therefore, there is no need to make autonomous heating.
- If you plan to develop an attic, then it is recommended to arrange a “quiet” zone on the second level, and a “noisy” zone, a garage and utility rooms on the first level. The bathroom is installed on both levels.
- It is advisable to include a terrace or veranda among the architectural elements. These rooms will decorate the building and become an additional functional unit.
- The terrace is located in the southern part of the building on the leeward side, preferably in the inner corner of the building. Thanks to the comfortable microclimate created in the courtyard, the terrace can be used even in bad weather.
- You should know that the veranda and terrace are different rooms. The veranda is part of the house and is located under the same roof with it. The terrace is located separately and often has no roof. A terrace is often attached to L-shaped structures. In most cases it is made angular.
An L-shaped house is an excellent choice for corner plots. It is equipped with a cozy patio, may have a terrace and has a stylish and distinctive facade. In addition, such a house, despite its compactness, is quite spacious.
The primary task that owners face even before building a house is choosing a place for it on the site. There is a basic rule: the corner of the house should be located in the northern part, then it will be possible to organize a cozy patio, protected from the wind.
In the courtyard you can build a terrace, which will visually “complete” the house to a rectangular or square shape.
In the house project L-shaped their wings can be either the same in area and length, or different. By the way, if 2 families or several generations of one family live in a house, then it would be correct to make 2 independent entrances.
House project with the letter G allows you to build a garage as harmoniously as possible, having a common wall with it and, accordingly, an entrance. Imagine how comfortable it is to unload your purchases or just come home, avoiding bad weather outside. The garage can be connected to the whole house heating system, and this will reduce costs compared to if you had to heat a detached garage.
The house design can be created in such a way as to distance a noisy area, such as a playroom or children's room, from a quiet one, such as a library or office. This way, everyone can get along peacefully, and no one will disturb or annoy anyone.
As a rule, the design of a house with the letter L does not involve the construction of a second floor, so it does not require an impressive foundation. This way you can save money on it. However, if desired, it is possible to design both an attic and a two-story building - on this page you will find such projects.
Smart layout in houses with the letter L
In addition to separating noisy and quiet zones, it should be remembered that in a private house there must be technical premises, for example, for a boiler room or pantry. And wet areas where a bathroom or sauna is located must be isolated. The boiler room should be located on ground floor, Thus hot water and the heat will be evenly distributed throughout the house. If your house is made of wood or wood materials, then the boiler room should be treated with anti-flammable agents.
If you have two-story house, then the bathtub and toilet can be located both on the first and second floors. This point should also be taken into account when ordering a standard or individual project for an L-shaped house.
The construction of a corner house is most often carried out on plots, the two sides of which are located on intersecting streets. This solution allows you to create a patio and isolate it from noise and exhaust gases.
The advantages of L-shaped house projects include:
- unusual, stylish design;
- the possibility of harmoniously adding additional space;
- protection of the yard space from wind and prying eyes.
Such houses can be easily divided into two functional zones. By placing bedrooms, children's rooms and dressing rooms in one part of the cottage, and the living room, dining room and kitchen in another, you will create quiet rooms, separated from the everyday and holiday bustle, even in a one-story house.
The arrangement of two separate entrances allows you to create conditions for comfortable stay two families. To increase the area, two-story and three-story corner houses are being built.
The roof can also be divided, creating an open usable roof with a terrace or winter garden on one side, and raising an additional attic floor on the other.
