Having a Guest Cottage on a Home Plan
Having a
guest cottage
on your
house plan
can provide many possibilities. Have the in-laws access to their own private space or rent out the cottage to pay off the mortgage. Cottage living can offer many financial benefits, and is an attractive idea for visitors who want a family-inspired vacation without the price tag of a hotel.
What Kind of Design Can a Guest Cottage Include?
A guest cottage can be built within the existing home plan design. The design choice will depend on the limits of the property and the other features you choose to build with the home. One option for building a cottage is to use a smaller version of the home plan and include a bedroom, small bathroom, and kitchenette.
What Are the Possible Benefits of Having a Guest Cottage?
The most obvious benefit of having a guest cottage on your house plan is having visitors close by when they come to visit. A guest cottage can also provide a place for family members to stay while their home is under construction or when the family is considering a relocation. The guest cottage could also be used as an income-generating unit if it is properly designed and well maintained.
Questions to Consider Before Finalizing a House Plan with a Guest Cottage
Before making the decision to add a guest cottage to your house plan, it is important to consider the size, style, and cost of the cottage. How large do you want the cottage to be? Will the cottage follow the same style as the primary residence or will it be a completely different style? What kind of budget do you have for the cottage and is it possible to make the cottage self-sufficient?
Tips for House Plans with Guest Cottage
When designing a house plan with a guest cottage, make sure to consider any local zoning laws that may affect the building of a second residence. Also, work with an experienced professional to make sure the home plan meets all the necessary codes. Once the guest cottage is built, include it on the house plan and make sure it is properly insulated to keep the outdoor temperatures more comfortable.
