Country Style

For a cozy, traditional home, a country house can offer a lifestyle as simple and relaxing as the clean fresh air. A calm sanctuary from the bustling city life, a country home is perfect choice for those looking for the simple life, or who want to build a homely environment for families or retirement.

The country house style is generally characterized by soaring ceilings and gabled roofs higher in pitch than typical home styles. A large, open floor plan that facilitates light and air flow is favoured and large warp around porches or patios create an open living area for recreational use.

When choosing a country house plan, it is important to check the building requirements for any restrictions on the size of the house in relation to the block of land. Often, you will want a sprawling garden or barnyard area and this should be taken into consideration in your planning.
