It's not that different from the usual Home Counties thing here. It's genteel metropolitan New England English spoken by people who went to good small town universities (think Amherst, Mt Holyoke, Bowdoin, Dartmouth).
American accents change gradually over long distances. More of a spectrum rather than the UK's tightly spaced scatter plot of regionality.

ah so it's a north east type accent. i didn't want to pigeon hole the accent or get it wrong but had a vague thought it might be from up there. a nice neutral accent that neither offends or excites.
