European wood doors include French Country, Tudor, and Cottage styles. These homes, with roots from French Provincial or Medieval Revival styles of 16th century England, are normally square and symmetrical. The design resembles a small manor home, with variations ranging from modest farmhouse to estate-like chateau. The exterior includes massive hipped roofs, often with overlapping gables and parapets, and tall second floor windows that sometimes break through the roof cornice. Massive chimneys are often topped with decorative chimney pots. Tudor style incorporates construction of patterned brick or stonework, with distinctive exposed wood timbers (called “half-timbering”). Interior features include arched openings, beautiful mantles, wainscot panels, wood beams, and stone and iron accents. Matching doors incorporate arched elements, including a variety of top rail arch, flat arch, and Tudor arch door styles.
