Country house plans are those specifically designed to be built out on rural land. They are akin to farmhouses and typically include large front and rear porches and simple rooflines adorned with gables and/or dormers.
Depending on the design, country house plans can have a lot of overlap with simple cottage and farmhouse style floor plans. Most country home plans are larger than cottages, although they still maintain a cozy, welcoming feel. Many people use "country" and "farmhouse" interchangeably, but farmhouses have more consistent design features while country homes are influenced by their surroundings more. Just think of French country homes—they're in a completely different category!
Country homes have sloped roofs that extend over out over the porch space(s). Expect to see gables, dormers, multi-pane windows, and beam features. Inside, an informal open-concept layout is common. Country homes come in one- and two-story designs and are typically finished in wood siding for a clean, simple look.
