AMERICAN BRITISH COUNTRY HOUSE
CLARKE COUNTY, VA

This house is firmly planted in the Shenandoah Valley, while its inspiration is tied to the owner’s British ancestry and fondness for English country houses.

The main level of the house is organized with the living room and the kitchen / dining spaces flanking a center hall and an open staircase (which is open up to the attic level). On the attic level, a roof deck embraces expansive views of the property and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the southeast. Situated on an abandoned fence line between two former pastures, the home engages pastoral views from all of the major rooms.
