Country Home Plans

Country home plans aren't so much a house style as they are a "look." Historically speaking, regional variations of country farmhouses were built in the late 1800's to the early 1900's, many taking on Victorian or Colonial characteristics. Unlike these architectural styles, country houses were simple structures often with symmetrical lines, a central door and evenly spaced windows. Many country floor plans featured wide front porches that were sometimes decorated with Victorian style spindle work and brackets or Colonial style shutters and dormers. Others incorporate wrap-around porches that provide relief from the sun.
