This page offers a guide on all material requirements for building a Small House in the Hearthfire DLC.
The Small House is a modest abode, but it could do nicely for an adventurer who prefers to be out all day and night!
How to Build a Small House¶
Once you’ve acquired a plot of land, the first thing you’ll be able to build is a Small House. This can later be converted into an Entry Hall should you choose to build a large manor-type homestead. First you’ll need to head over to the drafting table and select the Small House layout blueprint. Then you can use the carpenter’s workbench to build the house.
The Small House layout is the first blueprint you’ll have access to.
Luckily for you, all the core materials you’ll need to build a Small House are provided in the chest to the left of the carpenter’s workbench: 30 clay, 1 corundum ingot, 6 iron ingots, 20 logs and 30 quarried stone. You won’t actually use all of the starter materials during the construction of the small house, but you won’t actually have a lot of materials left over. Below you’ll find the exact amount of materials used for each separate stage of building the Small House.
| Stage | Materials required |
|---|---|
| Foundations | x1 sawn log, x10 quarried stone |
| Wall Framing | x6 sawn log, x10 nails |
| Walls | x2 sawn log, x4 clay, x8 nail |
| Floor | x4 quarried stone |
| Roof Framing | x6 sawn log |
| Roof | x1 sawn log, x10 nail |
| Door | x1 sawn log, x2 nail, x1 iron fittings, x1 lock, x2 hinge |
| Total | x17 sawn log, x14 quarried stone, x4 clay, x30 nail, x1 iron Fittings, x1 lock, x2 hinge |
As you can see above, you’ll need to use the anvil to convert your 6 ingots into 3 lots of nails (10), 1 iron fitting, 1 lock and 1 set of hinges (2).
Small House Furnishings¶
Most people will likely opt into upgrading their Small House into an Entry Way so you can furnish it with more appropriate furniture. But if you just want to stick to a cosy Small House, then you can furnish the house with the following furnitures.
You could choose to keep the small house as a cosy one bed studio type layout.
