The Morecambe
Taking the rustic components of the Craftsman style house plans and the modest, compact feel of traditional cottage house plans, the Morecambe is a cozy home full of elegance and charm. This combination of craftsman and cottage style house plans is the perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether or not you are located in the city, once you step inside, you are welcomed by a sense of comfort and ease that this home embodies. With four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one half-bathroom, and other great features, this two-story home can serve as a wonderful weekend, vacation, or year-round home.
As you walk up to this lovely home, you will notice its outer-appearance exudes a storybook sense of style and charm. The three car tandem garage is located to the right of the front door and has pleanty of storage space. Once you enter the home and walk through the two-story foyer, you will see the cozy den to your left. This is a great place to perhaps set up a family room, library, or even large office space. Just beyond this point is the half-bathroom and then we arrive at the beautiful great room. This open space combines dining, kitchen, and living rooms all together, and creates a larger space in this smaller home. This area also encourages a sense of unity among family members and is excellent for celebrations and gatherings of all sizes. An outdoor patio is connected to the great room, so during those nice-weather months, you can take family meals and festivities into your yard.
Moving upstairs, you will notice a nice little library on the right for all of you bookworms out there. To the left of the staircase is the master bedroom which comes with its own bathroom, equipped with both a shower and a spa, and fantastic walk-in closet. Next to the master bedroom are two more bedrooms that share a hallway and a bathroom. Each comes with its own closet space as well. Beyond the library is a bonus room which can serve as an extra bedroom, office, upstairs family room, or whatever you would like it to be.
Architectural Styles
Cottage
This home is typical of the cottage style. In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cozy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location. However there are cottage-style dwellings in cities, and in places such as Canada the term exists with no connotations of size at all (cf. vicarage or hermitage). In the United Kingdom the term cottage also tends to denote rural dwellings of traditional build, although it can also be applied to dwellings of modern construction which are designed to resemble traditional ones ("mock cottages").
Craftsman
This home is a gorgeous example of one of our craftsman houseplans. In the mid-1970s, a revivalism of sorts began among American collectors and preservationists. Pottery, glassworks, furniture, lighting, and houses from the turn of the 20th century were rediscovered and being celebrated for their simplicity of design and traditional beauty. These artistic remnants of the Arts and Crafts movement, which thrived from 1876-1915 continue to be celebrated today.
Common Craftsman design features:
- Low-pitched roof lines, gabled or hipped roof
- Deeply overhanging eaves

Why buy from us?
We are the original designers of every home displayed and available on this website. Though you may sometimes find our home plans advertised and for sale elsewhere, it makes sense to purchase your plan directly. Place your order confidently knowing your home plans come from the original source, and that you have the support of the designer of your home.
- Firstly, as the original designer and copyright owner - we can beat any lower price you find a Mascord plan for sale - on any website authorised to sell our plans. Before you make your purchase, simply give us a call, direct us to the site you have seen the lower advertised price, and we'll not only match that price - we'll also give you a further 5% discount and extra special customer care :-). (The advertised plan must be the same as the plan being purchased, including product type - 5 Set, 8 Set, Hybrid, Reproducible, or CAD File, etc). Our standard price-beating guarantee refers to regularly listed prices, but if you find any coupon, special offer, bonus offer, freebies or rebate offered on a competing website, call us, tell us where it is, and we'll see if we can beat that too!
- Secondly, as owners and original designers of all the plans in our collection, we have ultimate version control of all the construction drawings, and regularly update our drawings to meet forever changing building codes. Buying directly means that your plans are given 100% support at the source. We also have exclusive access to our entire catalog of CAD drawings, with the ability to modify them quickly and cost effectively, or even provide a previously modified version of a stock plan that is not available with any other authorised seller. Call our customer care staff to discuss any modifications you would like to have done, and if the modification exists already - simply pay the stock plan price. You're not going to find that anywhere else.
- Furthermore, we know our plan collection inside out! If you have questions about an element in the design, or even a question during construction - we are the ones able to answer those questions for you, quickly and accurately.
