A stair leads to the upper level, where Bedroom 2 (14'-1" × 9'-4") and Bedroom 3 (15'-4" × 9'-4") share a 6'-2" × 9'-4" bath. A 4'-1" × 9'-4" eaves storage space sits along the same side.

Who this plan suits
This plan suits buyers who want single-level primary living with two additional bedrooms upstairs for children, guests or a home office. It needs a lot wide enough for a 48'-11" × 33'-10" footprint, plus setbacks and a driveway to the garage.
How this plan was made
It was generated in AI Architectures Plan Studio from this one-line brief: “Story-and-a-half English cottage, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, living room with fireplace, kitchen, dining, main-floor primary suite; 2 bedrooms upstairs, attached 2-car garage, front porch, about 1,800 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 english cottage house plans?
English cottage house plans are compact, story-and-a-half designs, often with a front porch, steep rooflines and rooms tucked under the eaves. This version keeps 1,910 square feet of living space in a 48'-11" × 33'-10" footprint, with the primary suite on the main floor.
What affects building cost and lot needs for this plan?
The footprint of 48'-11" × 33'-10", the two levels, the fireplace and the attached 2-car garage all affect cost. Your local labor, materials, foundation type and site conditions matter as well, so get quotes from local builders. The lot must fit the footprint plus your local setbacks.
Can I change this plan by chat?
Yes. You can ask in chat to resize rooms, move the garage to the other side, or adapt the plan to a narrower or wider lot. The layout is then updated so the rooms still connect.
How do I use the PDF, DXF and IFC files?
The PDF is for reviewing the plan and sharing it with builders or clients. The DXF opens in CAD software for drafting and editing, and the IFC can be imported into BIM tools for 3D coordination. Have a local professional check the plans against your site and building code before construction.
