2 Bedroom House Plans in Ladysmith
In Ladysmith, 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 KwaZulu-Natal 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.
Ladysmith notes on house designs
Typical commissions are three bedroom houses with a veranda and a braai area, sized to the standard town stands in Acaciaville and Model. In Ezakheni and Steadville, owners often draw a two bedroom core house that can grow room by room. Lodges and holiday cottages at Van Reenen need steeper roofs and wind detail for the pass.
Homes and buildings in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a small historic town on the Klip River with a core of Victorian and Edwardian buildings from the Anglo-Boer War siege. Around the centre, Model, Acaciaville and Intabazwe hold older houses and flats, while Ezakheni and Steadville are dense township areas where owners keep building out their yards. The town is dry for much of the year, hot in summer, cold in winter and prone to heavy thunderstorms, and parts of the flat riverside land can flood. Colenso, Roosboom and Van Reenen sit around it with farms and holiday cottages. Plans are drawn by a few local draughtspersons and by firms from Pietermaritzburg.
