So much to like here.  But I just can't get past the low ceilings.  All those windows help, but it still feels like a weight above.

 

Of course I wouldn't mind spending a weekend there just to check that theory...

Im glad people are keeping them away from land developers.  They buy, they destroy and build ugly condo's.

 

Its a beautiful house and land.

My favorite parts are the kitchen - which I adore - and the outside spaces.  The living room and bedroom feel claustrophobic to me because of the overhead beams.  I absolutely love the outside spaces but I need in addition a section with shade.

I love the rustic, almost lodge-like look of the inside but almost none of the furnishings and decor items.  The sitting room is  OK and the outdoor pergola is a keeper.

I love this warm and cozy house.

Of Course I would change a few things decor wise but not much.

Just lovely and so inviting!

This is just not my style of home, but I will say, I do love the floors, all the beams and the huge fireplaces, and the outdoor area is very nice as well.

Love the beams, the posts and the floors - The kitchen needs a bit of an edit (I'd remove the flowers on the island and the baskets), but otherwise, I really like it too. ♥

As a Nutmegger I can say this is very Connecticut.  Although I love these historic homes, I have trouble getting past the low ceilings and numerous small rooms.  However, this is a lovely home.

I used to watch Escape To The Country.  English countryside.

 

English house interiors were/are similar to this interior.  

 

I love this house.  Heart
