Their house takes up a 3x3 space, and from there, you need a 1-square buffer all around that isn't touching anything else, so it's technically closer to 5x5. The door, like many doors, will also have an extra square of buffer in front of it.
A path won't interfere with any buffer squares (though the path square directly in front of the door will be erased once the villager actually moves in). Rocks and PWPs will interfere with the buffer zones, as will other villager/player homes and THEIR buffer squares. It's why villagers are always AT LEAST 2 spaces apart from one another, and why you can't get villager or player homes too close to PWPs, that also come with THEIR own buffer squares. It's slightly annoying, but it keeps things from getting too cramped and accidentally trapping things in an area.
Also keep in mind that your town is divided into "acres" of land, and you can't place too many buildings close to one another, even if you DO technically have enough space. I think it's three major buildings (cafe, villager house, player house, police station, re-tail, etc) per acre.
