30 × 50 house plan — 1500 sq ft, 3 BHK on one floor
At 1500 sq ft the 30 × 50 is the first plot size where a genuine 3 BHK fits on a single floor without squeezing anything. You get three bedrooms, two of them attached, a separate dining, and still have room for a pooja and a utility.

Sizes are internal (carpet) dimensions. Add 9 inches for external walls and 4.5 inches for partitions when you set these out on the envelope.
Designing a 30 × 50
The 24 ft envelope is the same as a 30 × 40 — the extra ten feet of depth is what buys you the third bedroom. Plan it as a 30 × 40 with one more bay at the back.
With 42 ft of depth, the middle of the plan is far from any external wall. This layout puts the dining and stair there and lights them from a courtyard or a stair skylight.
Two attached toilets on the same west wall share a plumbing shaft. That single decision saves more money than any other in a 1500 sq ft house.
Vastu for a 30 × 50 plot
The zones above follow the standard arrangement: kitchen in the south-east, master bedroom in the south-west, pooja and water in the north-east, toilets in the north-west, and the centre of the plan kept open. Which facing you have changes where the main door sits, not where the rooms go — see the guides for north, east, west and south facing plots.
