Cottage House Plans

Many who think of cottage house plans as just a small lake cabin or petite bungalow might be surprised that the cottage look translates easily to more generous dimensions. The cottage house plans we offer here have the picturesque details and inviting comforts of America’s storybook love affair with this pattern.

The Cottage style home plan, large and small, has been credited with giving America the front porch; it provides a roof over the entry and an almost private place to sit and enjoy nature and views while protected from the hot sun or thundercloud.

Get the full effect of your cottage house plan by placing your new Cottage style home with care in an attractive setting. Think about using natural materials on your new Cottage house – board & batten or hand cut wood shingle siding; then place stone or brick to accent different walls, porch columns or chimney. Some of the fine points for cottage home plans include: rafter brackets, a bay window, and a window flower box, and projecting eaves.

Smart interior traffic patterns within the open floor plan can give a sense of space to cottage house plans and your new Cottage home will likely make the impression of a much larger house. Along with other details like the steep projecting roofs, window gables and ivy-grown entry porches… all will make your relatively smaller Cottage home plan both romantic and dramatic.
