Yes it definitely has an English appearance.
Were the Sears /Free Spirit "Britney" models made in Japan?
 
The joints appear to be lugged in your photo, and it does appear that the bike in the photo has a Sturmey shifter. Can you give us a date from the rear hub shell?

I have a Sears Free Spirit Brittany 12, made in Taiwan R o C, you can barely see,(3rd pic), the faint gold print on the very small clear decal below the Free spirit decal.
