Early New England Homes (ENEH) offers Gambrel home kits in Kent and Warren, CT, featuring the iconic gambrel roof design. This unique style, a variation of the European mansard roof, is often called the “Dutch Roof” due to its barn-like appearance and beautiful proportions. The steep lower slope and shallow upper slope allow for increased attic height, making Gambrel homes both spacious and visually striking.
Authentic Post & Beam Construction with Colonial Charm
As an Eastern Connecticut company, ENEH crafts post and beam homes that honor 18th-century New England architecture. Our pre-engineered home kits preserve the historic character of early American homes while incorporating modern conveniences.
ENEH specializes in Cape Cod, Saltbox, Gambrel, and Colonial-style homes, working closely with local builders to ensure each structure is authentic, durable, and customized to meet your needs.
