This single-story cottage offers 1,370 square feet of living space on a footprint of 47'-11" × 33'-2". You enter from the front porch into a 6'-4" × 6'-0" foyer. From there, the plan opens to a 16'-8" × 16'-5" living room, with the 9'-0" × 12'-7" kitchen and an 8'-2" × 10'-11" dining nook alongside it. The laundry, at 5'-7" × 6'-0", sits close to the kitchen.
The three bedrooms are grouped on the bedroom side of the house, off a short hall. The primary bedroom is 10'-11" × 11'-5" and has a 4'-6" × 9'-0" walk-in closet and a 6'-0" × 9'-0" primary bath. Bedroom 2 measures 10'-11" × 10'-0", and Bedroom 3 measures 7'-4" × 15'-3". They share an 8'-2" × 5'-9" hall bath. The screened back porch extends the living space outdoors.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits small households, downsizers, and families who want three bedrooms and two baths on one level without a garage in the living area count. It needs a lot that can fit a 47'-11" × 33'-2" footprint plus setbacks, with room at the back for the screened porch.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Single-story cottage, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, open kitchen and living, dining nook, laundry, screened back porch, front porch, about 1,400 sq ft of living space (garage not included).” An AI architect drafted the room program, a layout solver placed every wall and door, and the plan was checked automatically for room sizes, circulation and daylight. The same project produced the PDF sheets, layered DXF, IFC model and 3D model you can download above.
Frequently asked questions
What are 3 bedroom cottage house plans?
They are compact, usually one- or one-and-a-half-story homes with three bedrooms, a porch, and a simple, efficient layout. This version has 1,370 square feet of living space on one level, with two baths and both front and screened back porches.
What affects the cost and lot needs of this plan?
The 47'-11" × 33'-2" footprint sets the minimum lot width and depth once setbacks are added. Foundation type, local codes, finishes, and the two porches will affect the cost, so a local builder's quote is the most reliable guide.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can describe changes in chat, such as resizing rooms, adding a garage on a chosen side, or adjusting the plan for a narrower or wider lot. The layout is then updated to match your request.
How do I use the PDF, DXF, and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing the plan and sharing it with builders or permit offices. The DXF opens in CAD software for editing drawings, and the IFC imports into BIM tools for 3D coordination. Check with your local authority about any stamped drawings it requires.
