English 5 is a substantial Tudor Revival event venue in Pasadena, defined by red brick, half-timbered gables, leaded-glass bays and tall chimneys. Its paneled interiors, formal rooms, covered veranda, patios, fountain terrace, vine-covered brick arbor and large lawn make the property well suited to corporate receptions, private dinners and product launches.
The asymmetrical main elevation combines a stone arched entrance beneath a glazed metal canopy, brick walls, a two-story leaded-glass bay, steep gables, patterned timbering and a prominent chimney. A long concrete drive curves through the Pasadena grounds to a motor court beside the house, creating a clear sense of approach and separation from the lawn.
Inside, dark wood floors, full-height wall paneling and a carved staircase turning beneath a towering mullioned window form a formal entrance hall. An arched opening connects to an intimate library with built-in bookcases covering two walls, leather seating and a working fireplace set into the paneling. Nearby, a long reception room adds pale coffered ceiling detail, dark flooring and a fireplace at the far end.
A dedicated dining room centers on a long wooden table beneath an ornate chandelier, with windows at the end and along the side softening the brown walls. Wide doorways connect to adjacent rooms, while crown molding, wall sconces and period furniture maintain the house’s character. The kitchen adds a warmer domestic note with timber cabinetry, a broad island and leaded windows over the sink.
A deep covered veranda runs across the rear, offering a sheltered transition between interior rooms and the garden. Brick piers, a balustrade and ceiling beams retain the English character, while furnished patios place tables and umbrellas among hedges and mature planting. The fountain terrace, vine-covered brick arbor and large lawn add distinct outdoor areas around the house and surrounding trees.
