Tudor style houses

What is Tudor style?

Tudor style homes have many of these features:

  • Decorative half-timbering
  • Steeply pitched roof
  • Prominent cross gables
  • Tall, narrow windows
  • Small window panes 
  • Massive chimneys, often topped with decorative chimney pot
Heavy chimneys and decorative half-timbering give Tudor style houses a Medieval flavor. The Tudor style is sometimes called Medieval Revival.




Personally, I really like Tudor style houses. I even bought one myself. To me, they are very elegant, graceful and cozy.
