You've probably seen homes like this--on BBC or PBS specials. They're usually inhabited by landed gentry who've inherited the structure from generations of ancestors. But this rendition is thoroughly modern and completely yours to decorate and enjoy. And you won't find any cramped, drafty areas inside--the floor plan is spacious and flexible enough for formal dinners and raucous Superbowl parties. Note the guest suite on the first floor near the library (a loggia access enhances the beamed-ceiling library). The family room is huge, and close enough to the breakfast room and kitchen to make it practical. A screened porch is a bonus. The grand staircase separates the master suite on the second floor from secondary bedrooms. A large cedar closet, sitting area and private porch reinforce the luxury here.
