Although the name suggests influences from 16th century England, Tudor house plans are inspired by building techniques from the medieval era. The tall, massive chimneys common in Tudor home plans are often made of patterned brick or stonework and capped with decorative chimney pots. Sunlight streams through tall double hung or casement windows arranged in groups of three or four are set with diamond or rectangular panes. Doorways leading into story-book Tudor style house plans are surrounded by a decorative round-topped Tudor arch. Common throughout England, Tudor homes became popular in America during the 1920's and 1930's. Lovely in a wooded setting or one complemented by a traditional English garden, this roomy fairy-tale home is ideal for family life as well as entertaining.
