Description
The TMS-152-CF1 2-bedroom cottage house plan from TM Studio-Small House Design combines rustic cottage character with an efficient one-story floor plan designed for comfortable modern living.
Offering 1,008 sq. ft. of conditioned living space, this home provides 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and dining area, cozy living room with fireplace, pantry, dedicated laundry room, and both front and rear covered porches—all within a compact 34′ x 37′ footprint.
At the heart of the home is the 196 sq. ft. kitchen and dining area, measuring approximately 17’1″ x 12’6″. Its open connection to the living areas creates a comfortable flow for everyday meals and entertaining, while the separate 4’3″ x 4’10” pantry adds valuable food and kitchen storage.
The 123 sq. ft. living room provides a warm gathering space highlighted by a fireplace. From here, the floor plan connects naturally to the entry, kitchen, hallway, and private bedroom wing.
The bedroom arrangement offers additional privacy. Bedroom 1 measures approximately 11’0″ x 9’6″, while Bedroom 2 measures approximately 11’0″ x 9’6″ and includes its own closet. Two full bathrooms, each approximately 9’0″ x 5’0″, make the layout particularly practical for couples, small families, guests, or homeowners who want a dedicated second bathroom.
A separate 9’0″ x 5’5″ laundry room keeps household tasks organized without taking space away from the kitchen.
Outdoor living is another major feature of TMS-152-CF1. The 17’4″ x 6’0″ front porch provides approximately 113 sq. ft., while the matching 17’4″ x 6’0″ rear porch adds approximately 107 sq. ft. Together, the home provides 220 sq. ft. of unconditioned space for relaxing, outdoor dining, or enjoying a quiet backyard setting.
From a construction standpoint, the design specifies a crawlspace foundation, 2×6 wood exterior framing, 2×4 wood interior framing, 9-foot flat first-floor ceilings, and a 7:12 main roof pitch. The overall building height is approximately 17’5″.
The plan is designed around a high-efficiency ductless mini-split system, eliminating the need for a mechanical closet and helping maximize usable interior space. A central ducted HVAC system can also be considered depending on builder or homeowner requirements. The design also shows an exterior tankless water heater, which may alternatively be installed indoors where permitted and in accordance with local codes and manufacturer requirements.
With its stone-inspired cottage appearance, covered porches, fireplace, practical two-bedroom arrangement, and efficient footprint, TMS-152-CF1 by TM Studio-Small House Design is well suited for buyers searching for a small one-story cottage house plan, retirement home plan, downsizing house plan, vacation cottage, starter home, or cozy 2-bedroom house plan.
