Cottage House Style

The charming and cozy cottage-style houses we know today were inspired by the thatched-roof cottages of the Medieval English countryside. The style became especially popular in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. Common features of cottage-style house plans include a warm, storybook character, steep roof pitches and cross gables, arched doors, casement windows with small panes, and brick, stone, or stucco siding.
