Barratt Homes reveals why three-storey properties are suitable for the whole family in Milton Keynes

Five star developer Barratt Homes is shedding some light on how the three storey Hythe house type at its Milton Keynes development are able to effectively accommodate the whole family.

With the population continuing to spend more time than ever at home during the pandemic, and with a large number of people continuing to work from home, the three storey Hythe at Fairfields may be the answer to creating a sense of space in the home.

Alison Raine, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Northampton, said: “The three storey Hythe has been superbly designed to meet the demands of modern living and are perfectly suited to accommodate growing families.

“For property seekers looking for a house with flexible living spaces and the freedom to make a home their own, we’re presenting our top reasons for three storey living being the ideal solution for a modern family’s lifestyle.

“We’ve already seen how in demand this house type is, with five of the seven homes at the development already being reserved. So we are urging potential buyers to book an appointment with our sales team soon.”

Barratt Homes’ suggestions for a family to make the most of a three storey home are:

Provide teenagers with their own space

As a parent, it’s important to allow teenagers to have their own time and space to be independent and a three storey property is the perfect option to accommodate this.

A young adult can have the top floor as their own, a teenage haven where they can complete school work or simply enjoy a bit of time to themselves away from younger siblings, perhaps.

Take care of grandparents under your own roof

Keeping the family together is special and as homebuyers, three storey living delivers a great opportunity to keep both children and grandparents under one roof.

Preserve an ‘adult’ space and quality family time

With the children inhabiting the second floor, parents must have a designated area for enjoying their downtime. Three storey properties boast generous living rooms on either the ground or first floor, providing homeowners with the necessary space to unwind and watch TV without disturbing the children.

Whilst using the lounge as an area for parents, it’s also a great place for time with the whole family. Whether it’s for a movie marathon or game nights, a three storey home finds the perfect balance of rooms to retreat and a space for bonding.

Create a den for young children

Another advantage of the top floor is being able to provide young children with a separate space to be creative and let their imaginations run wild.

Building a den ensures children have a particular area to play in, keeping the lower levels neat and tidy. Providing them with their own area away from the hustle and bustle of a family home will also help the children to appreciate spending time with their family in the living room.

With a combination of commuting and working from home becoming the new norm, Fairfields is the perfect location for working professionals. The Hythe style home has the opportunity to turn a spare room into a comfortable home office. As well as this, the development is just four miles from Milton Keynes Station, meaning residents can arrive in London by train in less than an hour.

Fairfields is surrounded by an idyllic country park and is located a stone’s throw away from the small market town of Stony Stratford, which has many pubs, restaurants and tearooms alongside traditional shops such as bakers, butchers, ironmonger, gift shops and florists.

Alongside this, it is less than five miles away from the centre of Milton Keynes, which has plenty to offer. For example, The Centre:MK which includes a wide selection of shops, restaurants and entertainment, such as the Snozone – an inside skiing facility.
