2 Bedroom House Plans in George
In George, a two bedroom house is a common first build for young families and a popular size for retirement cottages and rental units. Draughtspersons working in Western Cape can fit the layout to your stand, check the local building lines and submit the drawings to the municipality for you.
The main 2 bedroom house plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
George notes on house designs
House designs for George must manage rain and damp: raised floors, good damp-proofing, wide eaves and gutters that cope with all-year showers. On Blanco and Heatherlands slopes, split levels and retaining walls are common. Timber frames and pitched roofs are popular, and thatch near the forest edge brings fire distances. Retirees often ask for single-level homes with wide passages and no steps.
Homes and buildings in George
George sits between the Outeniqua Mountains and the sea, and rain falls in every season. Retirees and lifestyle buyers build in Heatherlands, Blanco, Fancourt and Wilderness, often on steep stands with forest and mountain views. Older homes in the Rosedale and Denneoord areas get extended, while the oak-lined streets near Courtenay Street hold older buildings with heritage value. Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu have many backyard rooms and extended RDP houses. Damp, wind from the Indian Ocean and fynbos fire risk shape the plans, which are lodged with George Municipality.
