Before you do anything, I'd do some research on what a rural english village actually looks, like ie. get some visual reference, and then I'd start building the houses etc. in a modelling program such as milkshape, lightwave, Max, etc. etc.
I beleive psionic's website has a particularly good tutorial on building...erm...buildings [lol] in milkshape...
Hope that helps! ;]
