Southern Cottage House Plans

Southern Cottage house plans are designed to capture the spirit of the South. Southern Cottage house plans can be found in more rural locations and have a warm, inviting front style. Southern Cottage house plans come in all shapes and sizes from rustic cabins, cozy farmhouses and practical ranches to one story Creole cottages. Tall ceilings and large, screened, wooden front porches characterize Southern Cottage house plans. Pitched or gabled roofs are typically medium or shallow in height, often with dormers. You may also find full-width second story verandas and cross-ventilating tall windows. Southern Cottage house plans will have stuccoed brick walls and floors at ground level. They do not generally have a basement, but will instead use the ground floor as a "raised basement" for wine cellars & pantries, or even a dining room.
