"Before you get too ambitious, gain confidence by building this tidy cottage. It is the perfect starter home, and might turn out to be all you need. But don't worry - if you decide to keep building, you can remodel this into an entry way to the rest of your house."
The Beginner's Guide to Homesteading[src]

The Small House is the first stage to constructing a homestead in The Elder Scrolls V: Hearthfire and is a prerequisite for all other additions.

Structure[]

The small house consists of seven components that are split into five stages of construction.

Stage 1 House, Foundation 1 10 - - - - -
House, Wall Framing 6 - 10 - - - -

Furnishings without Entryway[]

The following is a list of all furnishings that can be added to the Small House. Furnishings can be built manually at the indoor Carpenter's Workbench or added over a period of time if done via a Steward. The cost of asking a steward to furnish the Small House is 1000 Gold.

All furnishings are fixed in position and cannot be removed once they are built, unless the small house is later remodeled into an entryway at the Drafting Table (see below). The name of the furnishing option does not always accurately describe what will be added, as in some cases additional containers and accessories may be added, along with the main piece of furniture.

Furnishings with Entryway[]

After constructing the Main Hall, the option to remodel the small house into an entryway will become available at the drafting table outside. Choosing "Remodel House into Entryway" there will remove some constructed small house furnishings (Firepit, Hanging Rack), remove and convert others (Double Bed, Square Table and Chairs, Tall Shelf with Display Case, Wall Shelves (3)) into equivalent main hall furnishings, leaving the rest (Barrels, Dresser, End Table, Corner Shelf, Wall Sconces) in place, and allow the construction of other furnishings more suited to an entryway.
