TMS-167-CF1 — 1,239 Sq. Ft. 2 Bedroom Cottage House Plan with Large Back Porch
Discover the TMS-167-CF1, a thoughtfully designed 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage house plan featuring 1,239 sq. ft. of conditioned living space and an impressive 279 sq. ft. covered back porch. Designed for comfortable single-level living, this charming cottage combines an efficient floor plan with inviting indoor-outdoor living spaces, making it an excellent option for a primary residence, vacation home, weekend retreat, downsizing home, or countryside getaway.
The TMS-167-CF1 floor plan measures approximately 46 feet wide by 29 feet deep and is designed around a practical crawlspace foundation. The home features a 9-foot first-floor ceiling height, an 8:12 main roof pitch, 2×6 exterior framing, and 2×4 interior framing.
At the heart of the home is an open 246 sq. ft. kitchen and dining area. The spacious kitchen includes a large central island and plenty of countertop and cabinet space, creating a natural gathering point for cooking, dining, and entertaining. The dining area connects naturally with the main living spaces, helping the home feel larger and more connected.
The 197 sq. ft. living room provides a comfortable central gathering space with plenty of natural light. Large windows and doors connect the interior with the surrounding outdoor areas, while the overall layout creates a smooth transition between the living room, kitchen, dining area, and porches.
Spacious Covered Back Porch
One of the defining characteristics of the TMS-167-CF1 cottage house plan is its generous 279 sq. ft. back porch.
The covered porch provides enough room for outdoor dining, comfortable seating, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing and enjoying the surrounding property. With its connection to the main living areas, the back porch effectively extends the usable living space beyond the walls of the home.
Whether you’re imagining this cottage surrounded by trees, positioned beside a lake, or built on a rural property, the back porch gives the home a strong indoor-outdoor living experience.
Comfortable Two-Bedroom Layout
The home provides two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it particularly practical for a couple, small family, vacation property, or guest-friendly retreat.
The 138 sq. ft. master bedroom offers a comfortable private sleeping space and is accompanied by a 66 sq. ft. master bathroom and a dedicated 24 sq. ft. closet.
The secondary 121 sq. ft. bedroom provides a comfortable space for family members, children, or overnight guests and includes a dedicated 12 sq. ft. closet.
A separate 45 sq. ft. full bathroom serves the secondary bedroom and common living areas.
Functional Storage & Utility Spaces
Despite its compact footprint, the TMS-167-CF1 makes excellent use of available space.
The plan includes a dedicated 72 sq. ft. laundry room, an 8 sq. ft. pantry, a 21 sq. ft. coat closet, a 14 sq. ft. additional closet, and a 5 sq. ft. linen closet.
These practical spaces help keep everyday items organized while maintaining the clean and open feel of the main living areas.
The 35 sq. ft. entry/foyer creates a defined arrival point at the front of the home, while the 73 sq. ft. hallway provides convenient circulation between the bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry, kitchen, and living areas.
Charming Cottage Exterior
The exterior combines a classic cottage character with practical modern living.
The design features a prominent 8:12 pitched roof, wood-style exterior siding, covered front and rear porch areas, and large windows that bring natural light into the interior. The raised crawlspace foundation and substantial roof form give the home a distinctive cottage profile that works particularly well in wooded and rural environments.
The front porch measures approximately 128 sq. ft., creating an inviting covered entrance, while the much larger rear porch provides an additional outdoor living destination.
