Tudor style with yellow sandstone or red brick and half-timerbering, lots of large mullioned windows, doors made of real oak (none of those hollow core things), high ceilings, hardwood/parquet or marble or tile (depending on the room ) floors, with landscaped gardens in back and a long drive to the front. Several acres of land around it for those gardens, vegetables, orchards and shade trees (and to have space between me and the neighbors).
Where... England would be great, but failing that, in the northern US (for all four seasons), in or near a good city or nice, walkable town.
