Plan Description
Small Country Cottage House Plan 42920 with 672 Sq Ft, 1 Bedroom, Vaulted Ceiling and Covered Porch
Small Country Cottage House Plan 42920 offers 672 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and an inviting 192-square-foot covered front porch. Combining classic Country Cottage charm with an efficient open floor plan, this delightful home features a vaulted living area, cozy fireplace, island kitchen, and convenient mudroom entry. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a small house plan, vacation cottage, guest house, or potential Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).The exterior captures the welcoming character of traditional country architecture with attractive cottage proportions and a generous covered front porch. Measuring 8 feet deep, the porch provides substantial outdoor living space relative to the home's size. Add comfortable rocking chairs, a small table, or a porch swing to create a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, reading, or enjoying views of the surrounding landscape.
Inside, the open-concept floor plan makes efficient use of every square foot. A vaulted ceiling enhances the main living area, creating an airy atmosphere that makes the interior feel more spacious than its modest dimensions suggest. The fireplace provides a warm focal point, making the living room an inviting destination for relaxing evenings and gatherings with friends.
The kitchen is designed for comfortable everyday living, featuring a practical center island with sit-down seating, generous counter space, and convenient access to the adjoining living area. The open arrangement allows conversation to flow naturally between cooking, dining, and relaxing, eliminating unnecessary separation between the home's primary gathering spaces.
The private bedroom provides a comfortable retreat, while the full bathroom supports convenient daily routines. The thoughtful layout balances personal privacy with open living areas, making this one-bedroom cottage suitable for individuals, couples, or homeowners seeking independent guest accommodations.
A dedicated mudroom entry adds valuable functionality to the compact design. This practical transition space provides opportunities to organize shoes, jackets, and everyday belongings before entering the main living area. Combined with the efficient kitchen and open floor plan, it helps make smaller-home living comfortable and manageable.
Plan 42920 is particularly appealing as a weekend getaway, lake cottage, mountain retreat, backyard guest house, or retirement cottage. It may also serve as an ADU or rental accommodation where local zoning and building regulations permit. The manageable square footage offers opportunities to simplify maintenance and control construction scope, although actual building costs depend on location, materials, and site conditions.
With its vaulted living room, inviting fireplace, practical island kitchen, and generous covered porch, Country Cottage Plan 42920 demonstrates how thoughtful design can deliver exceptional comfort in a smaller home. Our talented team can assist with modifications to personalize this charming cottage for your property and lifestyle.
Better Living by Good Design.

Q & A
Ask the Designer any question you may have. NOTE: If you have a plan modification question, please click on the Plan Modifications tab above.
Previous Q & A
A: No, I do not do an unlimited license. It would be 50% off the original PDF price for each additional build.
A: The ceiling heights and porch soffit height for this plan is 9 feet. The vaulted ceiling in the living area goes up to 11'-6". As for 2x4 exterior walls, I never recommend this because of thermal performance and building strength. For this reason I don't offer a 2x4 option. However, if the customer chooses to alter this on site that is their decision. It would not alter the layout much, they would just want to make sure the move the interior bathroom walll to allow for the correct tub/shower unit dimension.
A: Yes, there are flat ceilings over the bedrooms and there is a scissor vaulted ceiling only over the living and kitchen area. Thanks!
A: The DWG CAD package includes 2D DWG files of the entire PDF drawing set including all plans, elevations, sections, details and page layouts. 3D models are not included. If desired a SketchUp 2018 .SKP file can be provided for the home and foundation. If the customer buys the PDF + CAD package please make a note on the order and I will generate a .SKP 2018 model for them at no extra charge.
A: Interior walls are 2x4, but the wall behind toilets and washer / dryers are 2x6 for plumbing / dryer vents.
A: The cabinets and fixtures are shown on the floor plans ( similar to what is seen in the presentation floor plan of the plan listing ). There are no detailed cabinet layouts. -Jeremy
A: The porch roof is 3/12. Some shingles are guaranteed as low as 3/12 while others are not. So they would need to buy appropriate shingles.
A: My plans always go out updated to "Part 9" of the current BCBC ( 2024 ). However, the location of someone's property will add additional items that are required by code that can't be included with the plan without that property information ( i.e.: unprotected opening calculations, energy calculations, seismic bracing or other engineering items ).
Common Q & A
A: Yes you can! Please click the "Modifications" tab above to get more information.
A: The national average for a house is running right at $125.00 per SF. You can get more detailed information by clicking the Cost-To-Build tab above. Sorry, but we cannot give cost estimates for garage, multifamily or project plans.
