Lancaster

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 1

Lancaster is designed to flow seamlessly with the picturesque curvilinear lines of the arrival of Boxwood proper. The two story parapet and bayed master bedroom feature give the façade timeless maturity; the receded dining room, garden window, and bedroom overlook lend a playful air. Finely fitted mellow sandstone exterior block work gives Lancaster its overwhelming sense of permanence and approachability. Step through the stone entry portico and experience the warmth of the English Oak paneling in the entry Hall and Dining Room‌..

Devonshire

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 2

Devonshire exhibits the very finest of English Georgian Classicism through its elegant proportions, symmetry and scale. The composition is highlighted by a staged wall progression which moves across the central body of the house and culminated in a finely scaled Doric Portico with gothic Fanlight transom. Hand rubbed brick coursing is set with a 1/8� thin set ivory mortar which pulls the exterior into sandstone appearance range and allows the eye to appreciate the balance and proportion of the exterior fenestration and banding. A richly developed Georgian cornice crowns the symmetrical main body and is strengthened to its fullest by the brick parapet wall and classically detailed central pediment with oval accent window.

Petworth

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 3

Aged and tumbled Limestone Block work from the structural lintels above the first floor openings. A crushed stone parterre garden forms the connection of the home to the pedestrian walks of Boxwood.

Tall French Doors reinforce the in-town lifestyle and social connectivity of the community. Baton shutters and 16 light French Casement windows open the second floor to lush, over-sized Flower Boxes.

Walden

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 4

Occupying one of the most prominent lots within boxwood, Walden fronts graciously onto the Community Green. Composed of and aged blend of brick and sandstone, the exterior of Walden recalls visions of an English Country Home occupying a pastoral landscape, with rich gardens and picturesque vistas.

Complimentary rooflines form the perfect picturesque silhouette to overlook the formal Community Park and cutting gardens. Inside, Walden does not disappoint. A majestic center stair hall creates an overall sense of historical Georgian charm and restraint.

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 5

Avon occupies the prominent Southeastern edge of the Community Park at Boxwood. Styled in the Classic English Georgian Manor, Avon creates a picturesque and symmetrical impression on the community. Aged Brick with diminished mortar joints creates the appearance of a more Limestone classicism without the unnecessary formality. The focal point of the facade is a well proportioned engaged Tuscan order and entablature that marks the central portion of the home. This area is further accentuated by the parapeted brick gable and gothic attic window. Once inside Avon, rooms open immediately through out with classic detailing and abundant light.

Downing Street

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 6

Downing Street is designed to capture the finest of English Regency Formality and Styling. The facade marries the classical symmetrical elegance with the permanence of coursed Sandstone walls. A finely detailed Neo-classical Entry Portico anchors the three part Palladian composition. Sandstone walls are accented by Limestone cresting, belt coursing and quoins. A handsomely proportioned parapet wall tops the composition and is punctuated by a single fan lit dormer in the main roofline.

The symmetry of the interior continues as you step inside.

St. Martins

A Bill Grant Homes Community

Lot 7

A cast iron and copper garden canopy covers the entry to the home, and forms the signature exterior detail. Segmental French Doors lead from the Dining Room to the arrival gardens.

The asymmetrical style is repeated on the interior, as guests step into the paneled Entry Hall and sheltering Library with stone fireplace.
