village house

Small-town home

A village house is a residence in a rural village, typically a modest dwelling that reflects traditional local architecture and materials.

The term often implies something smaller and simpler than an urban home, with character tied to its setting: They restored an old village house in Provence.

In some regions, particularly Hong Kong, village house has specific legal meaning—a type of rural property with restrictions on size and ownership.
