About this home

HIGHCLERE COTTAGE Graceful and dignified, Highclere Cottage draws inspiration from the stately manors that grace the English countryside. Its light brick exterior, arched portico, and dark bronze accents create a commanding yet inviting presence - a home that feels timeless from the first glance.

Within its 3,072 square feet, the cottage balances grandeur and intimacy across two stories. The layout features four bedrooms and three and a half baths, including a main-level primary suite designed for quiet retreat. A left-side portico leads to a two-bay carriage garage, complementing the home’s architectural symmetry. Inside, lofty ceilings, rich millwork, and generous windows flood the interiors with light, while the central lodge room and kitchen form the true heart of the home.

Highclere Cottage is not simply a residence - it is a contemporary interpretation of English refinement, where craftsmanship, comfort, and elegance live in perfect accord.
