If you own a 1,200 sq ft plot and want a home that is simple to build, easy to maintain and comfortable for a small family, this 30x40 house plan is designed for exactly that. It is a single storey home design 5 marla families can build and live in completely on one level — no stairs to climb for everyday life, and no half-finished upper floor waiting for a second budget.

Quick answer: This is a single storey 30x40 house plan (1,200 sq ft, commonly treated as a 5 marla plot) with 2 bedrooms, bathrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, a garage and a patio on the ground floor. The roof has a mumty with a stair lobby, a store room and the overhead water tank area. You get complete 30x40 floor plans, a front elevation and working drawings when you buy it.

30x40 House Plan – Key Details at a Glance

Is a 30x40 Plot 5 Marla?

Quick answer: A 30x40 plot is 1,200 sq ft. In Lahore and most of Punjab, where 1 marla = 225 sq ft, that is about 5.3 marla, so it is sold and searched as a 5 marla plot. Where 1 marla = 272.25 sq ft is used, the same plot is about 4.4 marla.

That is why people look for this layout in two ways: Pakistani buyers usually search for a 5 marla house layout plan or home design 5 marla, while others search by size for a 30 40 house plan or 30x40 floor plans. Both searches point to the same 1,200 sq ft plot — and this design is drawn for it exactly, so you don't have to adapt a plan made for a 25x45 plot.

The Ground Floor – A Complete 2 Bedroom Home on One Level

On a 1,200 sq ft plot, it fits 2 bedrooms with bathrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, a garage for your car and a patio for fresh air and light — a practical 5 marla house layout plan without stairs to climb every day.

Quick answer: Everything a family uses daily is on the ground floor of this 30x40 house plan: 2 bedrooms, bathrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, a garage and a patio. Nothing important is left for an upper floor.

The two bedrooms give you a main bedroom plus a second room for children, parents or guests. The lounge is the centre of the house, where the family sits, eats and watches TV together, with the kitchen close by for easy everyday use. Among 2 bed house plans, this kind of layout is popular because it is affordable to build, cheap to run, and easy for elderly family members who prefer not to use stairs.

Garage and Patio – Parking and Open Space on a Small Plot

Quick answer: This 30 x 40 house plan includes a garage for parking your car inside the plot and a patio that brings daylight and fresh air into the house — two things many small two bedroom home plans leave out.

On a 5 marla plot, it's tempting to cover every square foot with rooms. This design keeps a garage so your car stays safe inside the boundary wall, and a patio so the rooms around it get natural light and cross-ventilation — which matters a lot in Pakistan's hot summers.

The Mumty – Stair Lobby, Store Room and Water Tank

Up top, a compact mumty holds the stair lobby, a useful store room and the overhead water tank, and leaves the structure ready for a first floor later.

Quick answer: The roof of this single storey house has only a mumty: a covered stair lobby, a store room and the overhead water tank area. The rest of the roof stays open for drying clothes, storage or sitting outside.

The store room in the mumty is a smart use of space — it keeps extra luggage, seasonal items and tools out of your living rooms. And because the staircase already goes up to the roof inside a covered lobby, you can add a first floor later without rebuilding the stairs when your family grows.

Front Elevation – A Single Storey House with Mumty

The front elevation of this home design 5 marla shows how the single storey house and its roof mumty come together as one complete facade, so the house looks finished from the street even before any future floor is added. The elevation is included in 2D and 3D, and the finishes can be changed to your taste.

Why This 30x40 House Plan Works

• One-level living — every daily-use room is on the ground floor

• Garage inside the plot — safe parking, which many 2 bed house plans skip

• Patio for light and air — better ventilation for hot summers

• Mumty store room — extra storage without taking space from the rooms

• Ready to expand — stairs already reach the roof for a future first floor

• Lower construction cost — one covered floor is cheaper to build and maintain

• Drawn for the exact plot — true 30x40 floor plans, not an adjusted 25x45 design

Who Is This Two Bedroom Home Plan For?

• Small families and couples building their first house

• Retired parents who want a home without daily stairs

• Overseas Pakistanis building a manageable home in their hometown

• Investors building a single storey rental on a 5 marla plot
