English / Norman Cottage

The English or Norman Cottage is the modest, very simplified version of the Tudor or Jacobean/Elizabethan styles of residential architecture. It is a one story structure generally composed of brick, stucco or occasionally stone. The most distinguishing feature is the steeply pitched roof and steeply pitched projecting front entrance. Many cottages have arched or straight-headed picture windows on the front facade, but other fenestration is limited. Windows are occasionally casements divided by heavy metal mullions. Decorative brickwork, arched entrances, and small paned windows are also characteristic.

Popular during the 1920s and 1930s, these small one-story homes were considered an alternative to the Bungalow.

Here is a designated landmark in Longmont that is representative of the English / Norman Cottage style.
