Exteriors at The Cotswolds reflect Tudor-inspired architecture reminiscent of the Cotswolds region of England. Elevations showcase earth-toned stucco and natural cedar siding plus bold trim is heightened by angled corners, sloping rooflines, mullioned window insets, and a generous helping of gables along with charming details. Each townhouse will be accented by a professional landscaping package, and the entire property is designed to reflect the look of an English countryside.
