Cottage House Plans
Our cottage plans are quite diverse, offering you lots of options. A search of our cottage house plans and small cottage plans will reveal a wide range of homes from all over the U.S. Because cottages are often small, and often built in the country, you may wish to search our small house plans and country house plans as well. There is no precise definition of a cottage. The dictionary defines them as “a small, usually frame (construction) one-family house”, or as “a small house for vacation use”. But a large house can still look like a cottage, so we include cottage floor plans for these larger homes as well.
Homes built from cottage home plans are often referred to as “cozy”. Our cottage building plans are designed to maintain this feel without feeling small or cramped. Open floor plans and an abundance of windows make the home feel larger without sacrificing that comforting feeling of a cozy home.
This feeling is often enhanced by the use of stone, brick and wood in both exterior construction and interior detail.
Common Characteristics of Cottage Plans:
- Irregular layout, often with a relatively small footprint
- Style of building as much as of architecture
- Simple, unpretentious interiors
- Often with exterior decorative detailing
- Usually steep pitch roof, often with gables
- Architecture tied directly to local landscape or region
