Cottage house plans are great for smaller homes that need a little extra space. They're also perfect for those who love the idea of living in a home that has a country feel.
Modern cottages are very practical, functional and full of character. They come in various shapes and are often smaller than the average home, with unique design elements that include:
- balconies
- small porches
- gable roofs
- bay windows.
Most cottage style house plans are ‘cozy’ but the modern designs come with open floor plans that offer plenty of space.
They also include decorative touches such as vertical exterior panelling or a stone facade, which set them apart from more contemporary designs.
They are popular in rural areas, but are also making their way into urban residential areas.
Consult your real estate agent or local architect to find your dream cottage.
