What are Cottage Home Plans Like?

The architectural style referred to as cottage has become an ambiguous term. This is because there are many plans with certain differences that fall into its category.

Some different plans even have their roots in this style. The bungalow style is a typical example. It can be said to be an offshoot of this architectural style.

There are some certain features present in all of them despite the various kinds of cottage home plans available. Some of these features include the following:

Compactness

It is not a tiny home but it can give the feeling of maximizing every space used. It is built in such a way that every part is functional. As a result, it is one of the best options for people driven by the need for sustainable housing.

Does Not Take Up so Much Space

This is one of the most pronounced features of this structural style. It is a good manager of space. There are just a few other styles that can be erected in small spaces and one of such is a log cabin. You can have small cottage house plans designed for spaces as little as 2000 square feet and even less. So, people who do not have the luxury of space will find this architectural style extremely helpful.

Traditional Feel

Not everyone may want all that ultra-modern look. A touch of the traditional style would not hurt and will actually come out quite well if done right. This structural blueprint is perfect for people who share this view.

This plan is not as traditional as a cabin but combines the right amount of traditional feel to help you enjoy some past design features. By simply going through a few of our small country cottage house plans, you will realize this soon enough.

Charming and Cozy Elements

With the porch (and sometimes the Chimney) being an integral part of the exterior look, this structural blueprint is charming and cozy. Aside from the fact that its design is asymmetrical, it should be one of your options if you want something intimate and cozy. This is especially if you have no more than 2000 square feet to use.

Why Cottage Style House Plans?

There are lots of house plans that you can make use of and each one has its pros and cons. Well, this style is not an exception. You therefore need to understand the implications of implementing it before you do. Against this backdrop, below are some reasons you might want to consider this style:

Cost-Effectiveness

This is a cost-effective option for several reasons. First, the design of the plan itself will cost less than many other styles. Secondly, you do not need a large portion of land to implement this style. As a result, you do not have to purchase so many square feet. Somewhere around 2000 square feet and even less than this would do.

Great for Sustainability

Being a small and compact design, the idea of sustainability is easily achieved. On the average, energy requirements will be reduced, making it easier and cheaper to make use of eco-friendly energy. It will actually require some effort to push the energy requirement of a cottage house to worrying levels.

It is important to state here that the fact that it is small and compact does not mean that it will lack the necessary features you need. As small as they might seem, some small cottage plans can have as many as 3 rooms. They can even have more than one bathroom in the plan.

Looks Good

You would not look at any of our cottage-styled homes and consider them to be unappealing. Our designs are proof that small things can look amazing. This is because many of them have that desired charming and cozy touch.

Room for Extension

There has been so much talk about the small and compact size of these structures. Well, if you have extra space on your property, it is quite easy to extend or make the original house bigger. This is something that we will be glad to look into for you.
