Tilbury Lane House Plan

Elevated Carriage House with a Lock-Off Flex Bay

1,585 SQ. FT. | 3 BED | 3 BATH | 2-STORY | 2-CAR GARAGE + FLEX BAY

Tilbury Lane is for the narrow lot everyone else has given up on. At 31 feet wide it puts a whole three-bedroom home on one level above the garage: kitchen, dining and living share one vaulted room across the front, and three glass sliders open it onto a deck that runs the full width of the house. The two secondary bedrooms sit at the back with a covered balcony of their own, so the kids or the guests have somewhere quiet to sit outside too.

The ground floor is the feature that wins people over. Next to the two-car garage there is a 272 square foot room with its own overhead door, a full bath, a closet and a short counter, separated from the garage by a lock-off door. Rent it out, set up a workshop, put up family for the summer, or park a third car in it. You can change your mind years later and the house above never notices.

A third bay that decides later: the 23' x 13' ground floor room has its own full bath, closet, counter and a 9' x 8' overhead door. Because it locks off from the garage, whoever uses it never has to walk through your house.

Two decks, two jobs: the 31' x 10' front deck opens off the living room and the primary suite through three sliders; that is the one you have coffee on. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a covered balcony at the rear, so nobody has to cross the living room to get some air.

Vaulted living under skylights: the 18' 2" x 11' 10" eat-in kitchen, with island seating and a walk-in pantry, runs straight into a 14' 2" x 12' 6" living room under one vaulted ceiling. Skylights bring daylight into the living space and both secondary bedrooms, which is how a narrow house stays bright.

A primary suite with the toilet behind its own door: 11' 6" x 12' 6", with a skylight, a walk-in closet, its own slider to the deck and a private bath. The laundry is right outside the suite, not down a flight of stairs.

Two-car garage on the side: a 20' 2" x 25' 6" garage with two overhead doors on the side elevation and the flex bay's door beside them. Storage, utility and a row of cubbies sit under the stair off the heated lower entry, so sandy shoes and beach bags have a home before anyone climbs up.

Tilbury Lane stacks a whole house on a garage footprint, so a lot that looked too narrow to build on gives you three bedrooms, three baths and a third bay that can be a guest house, a workshop or a car. We drew it so none of that needs redrawing later. The choice is yours, and it stays yours.

Every blueprint is crafted by Angela, a professional spatial designer with a degree in Construction Graphics Technology from Purdue University and studies in interior architecture.

What foundation does Tilbury Lane come with?

Tilbury Lane is drawn on a pier / elevated foundation. It is an elevated plan, with the living space raised above open space or parking, drawn for flood zone and coastal lots. A local engineer sizes the foundation for your soil and wind zone.

How tall is Tilbury Lane and how much ground does it cover?

The maximum ridge height is 29' 4". The footprint is 31' 0" x 53' 6", which is the number to check against your setbacks; porches and the garage count toward it even though they are not in the heated area. Heated living area is 1,585 square feet on 2 stories.

What comes in the plan set for Tilbury Lane, and what do I still need locally?

A licensed construction set: cover sheet with general notes, foundation plan, dimensioned floor plans for every level, all four exterior elevations, a cross section, roof plan, electrical plans, and door and window schedules, sold as PDF, PDF plus CAD, or Chief Architect files. Every set is licensed for one build at your build address. An engineer's review and stamp where required, a site plan, engineered floor and roof framing, mechanical and plumbing drawings and energy compliance are produced locally, as they are for any stock plan.
