Church Street (living)
We took our Saltbox shed and gave it some juicy upgrades. The roofing is upgraded to architectural asphalt shingles with a copper roll ridge cap and the siding is horizontal Eastern White pine clapboard. Bring it up a notch by adding flower boxes and a weathervane.
We started this one from our simple saltbox shed design and added the most popular upgrades of clapboard siding, asphalt shingle roofing, and the gorgeous copper roll ridge cap. The Church Street design, whose practicality is surpassed by its overflowing charm, would be perfect as the quaint she-shed in the garden. It would even make your neighbors jealous with this stunning structure. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the rustic appeal of the cottage, while affording you a four-season sanctuary. Consider the addition of a heat source to create an oasis of warmth in the dead of winter.
When dreaming about the small cottage lifestyle, you may imagine tranquil surroundings that bring back memories of a simpler way of life. Cottages are adorable structures that simply emanate warmth and comfort. They make charming guesthouses or backyard retreats. When the primary purpose of your small cottage is a vacation home, the intimate space is ideal for couples looking for peaceful weekend getaways or families seeking quality time and bonding. At Jamaica Cottage Shop, we think that a having a cabin in the backyard can be just as rewarding as having one in the backcountry. Home office or bunk house for guests? Maybe both? Turn your four-seasoned retreat into a combined guest house and workspace for hobbies such as stamping and quilting.
Offered as frame only kits, complete pre-cut kits, 3- and 4-Season kits, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and tiny house solutions give you the extra room you need for visiting guests, a corner garden office or a country retreat. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a fully assembled turn-key design delivered to your prepared site.
