Go up in the world with a three-storey home

Going up in the world will help you find the space you need for your family! 

A three-storey home can be seen as the ultimate family home! All that extra vertical space gives everyone room to breathe and can be flexible, functional and stylish all at the same time. 

Whether you need a home office for your new working-from-home life, a playroom for your toddler’s toys or a hideaway for your teenagers, three-storey homes are a unique way of bringing everyone together while also giving them space. 

Three-storey homes are known to be adaptable and are great at accommodating families as their lifestyles and needs change over the years.

Harvey Homes currently has three three-storey detached homes available at our Swan Green development in Knutsford (which incidentally has recently been named as one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Live in the North West), all of which are in our ‘Ollerton’ style. 

They feature:

·      1,890sq ft of living accommodation

·      Large open plan kitchen, living and dining space

·      Separate lounge

·      Ground floor bathroom

·      Cloakroom

·      Integrated single garage

·      Master bedroom with dressing area and en-suite

·      4 further bedrooms

·      2 family bathrooms

So, what are some of the benefits of three-storey living?

Benefits of three-storey living

1.     Guest-friendly, with privacy intact

While we all love having guests to stay, nobody likes the awkward dance on the landing when you’re all trying to get into the bathroom at the same time, or the disruption to each other’s evening or morning routines! With a three-storey house, after an evening or day of entertaining you can all ‘escape’ to your separate floors, privacy intact, with great memories of your time together preserved.

2.     Flexible family fun

For families with either young children or teenagers, the need for dedicated living spaces is all too real. Young children have a plethora of toys to contend with and keep tidy when not in use, while teenagers appreciate having their own space for gaming, homework and socialising. Many three-storey homes, like the ones from Harvey Homes, have rooms that can be flexible, no matter what fun is being sought!

3.     Luxury retreat for the ‘grown-ups’

One of the main benefits of a three-storey home is the extra space that it affords you. One room where this really comes into its own is the master bedroom. Airy sleeping areas, large dressing spaces and luxury en-suite bathrooms come together to create the ultimate and relaxing sanctuary for the adults of the house!

4.     Versatile lifestyle

The split-level design of a three-storey home creates much more versatility than a standard home. Floors can be split depending on who is using them, and many families find that their three-storey homes simply adapt as their lifestyles adapt, with each room having a variety of uses.

5.     Expansive storage

Seeking out new storage options is a constant challenge for many families, with sheds, lofts, garages and even under-stair spaces being maxed out as much as possible for storage requirements. The storage options from three-storey houses are often expansive, with life being allowed to spread out and every item having its own place. 

6.     Modern entertaining

Open plan living spaces are all the rage at the moment, and it is easy to see why. Keen foodies inspired by cooking shows and world flavours are determined to bring their kitchen to life, without losing the ability to keep their guests entertained. Modern kitchen/dining spaces that are a common feature of three-storey homes are perfect for this lifestyle, whether it is homemade pizzas, bowls of pasta, joints of meat or hand-rolled sushi on the menu!

Features of a Harvey Homes Ollerton home

Harvey Homes’ Ollerton-style homes are the perfect embodiment of every benefit that three-storey living can bring. 

The modern detached homes showcase stylish living accommodation, with both a large kitchen/dining space and separate snug/retreat on the ground floor. Nestled between them is a separate cloakroom and toilet, and an integral garage full of storage space completes the offering.

The first floor comprises of a master bedroom suite with a huge dressing area and beautiful bathroom, as well as two further bedrooms – one with a walk-in closet – as well as a separate laundry room and large family bathroom. 

Venture up to the second floor and you’ll find a space that teenagers and guests alike will love; two huge bedrooms alongside another big bathroom. 

There’s certainly nothing left wanting in The Ollerton!

Commenting on three-storey living, Tom Ratcliffe, Director at Harvey Homes said: “The three-storey style is something that we are finding is particularly popular with families. They often come to site wanting a traditional two-storey house but are immediately taken by the charms and space of a three-storey property instead. 

“I truly believe that the flexibility that what a three-storey home provides cannot be beaten – whether you’ve got young children or teenagers, need to work from home, love having guests to stay or are craving that adult sanctuary, a three-storey home really is the solution to it all!

“Ultimately, every family is different and the fact that our Ollerton-style homes are so versatile is a big reason as to why they are so sought-after. The spaces can be arranged as to how you want them, and they can be easily adapted when change is required. They really are a home for everyone, no matter what your situation!”
