Kent is a 960 square foot single-story cottage house plan engineered for efficiency and purposeful layout on a compact footprint. Measuring 40 feet in width and 47 feet 4 inches in depth, this design utilizes a 6:12 roof pitch and a 21-foot maximum building height to establish a classic profile. The structure is built with 2x6 exterior wall framing and a crawl space foundation to ensure durability and thermal performance.
The interior floor plan centers on an open-concept great room that provides direct sightlines into the kitchen, which is equipped with a functional island. The 9-foot ceiling height throughout the main level increases the perceived volume of the 960 square foot heated area. A dedicated home office or study is integrated into the floor plan, providing a quiet zone for remote work, while the primary bedroom suite is situated to maximize privacy within the one-bedroom configuration.
Outdoor connectivity is established through two distinct porch areas. A covered front porch spans 382 square feet, offering substantial space for exterior seating, while a 54 square foot rear porch provides additional utility and private access to the backyard. The combined 436 square feet of porch area creates a bridge between indoor living zones and the exterior landscape, enhancing the usability of the footprint.
Construction specifications utilize truss-framed roof assembly to support the 6:12 pitch, which simplifies the framing process while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the cottage style. With a single full bathroom and a centralized kitchen, the floor plan is optimized for single-occupant living, couples, or those seeking a manageable weekend getaway residence without sacrificing necessary amenities.
