Demand for three-storey living is firmly on the rise thanks to the extra space on offer and increased versatility to meet the demands of modern life.

Kingswood Homes has recently launched a limited number of three-storey homes for sale at its Market Quarter development in Hatherleigh and we asked for the top reasons to take things up a level.

1. Where home-working really works

Forget doing shifts at the kitchen table or cluttering up the bedroom dresser with files. An extra floor can make an ideal home office with plenty of space for a proper desk, peace to think and, crucially, less chance of the kids interrupting that important Zoom meeting. Oh, and no more time wasted on the dreaded commute.

2. A luxury retreat

Imagine at the end of a long day being able to escape to your very own secluded hideaway in the form of a master suite bedroom with en suite, or enjoying breakfast in bed in the sanctuary of a whole floor to yourself.

3. Get fitter, faster

The most popular New Year’s resolution is to exercise more and with less than three months till 2021, why not recreate a Pure Gym in your own home ready for New Year? With plenty of second-floor space for a range of fitness equipment, there’s no reason to renew that expensive gym membership.

4. Making guests feel at home

Nobody likes to impose on others so extended family members and friends will feel far more comfortable with a dedicated bedroom to use during their stay, with more privacy from the rest of the house.

5. Front row seats

It’s not just footballers and film stars who have in-home cinema rooms. Why not use the additional floor to create your very own multi-media space with a large movie screen, subtle lighting, comfy reclining chairs and super-duper sound systems?

6. Space!

With an extra floor, three-storey homes are designed to feel spacious and open. There’s more storage areas to hide away life’s unsightly essentials and rooms always appear less cluttered.

7. A hobby house

According to Google, a growing number of people are taking up relaxing and creative hobbies in their homes, including yoga, meditation, art and crafts. Three-storey homes offer the ideal floor plans to indulge in practising perfect posture or mindfulness meditation in a peaceful, private space.

8. A home which grows with you

Three-storey homes have the versatility to adapt as your family grows, meaning they are often a ‘forever home’. From a baby’s play room or nursery to a kids’ den; a teenage retreat to granny’s bedroom, these homes have adaptable space to fit your family’s needs.

Kingswood Homes currently has a limited number of three-story homes for sale at The Market Quarter at Hatherleigh and in a clever twist called ‘Shape Your Home’, buyers can change the internal layouts to suit their lifestyles.

The Lowery priced from £231,950 is a charming three-bedroom property with a contemporary open plan kitchen diner and French doors opening out to the rear garden.

With Shape Your Home, the property can be turned into a four-bed home or for a more luxurious feel, a second en suite could be added.

The second floor of The Lowery has an en suite option to create a fantastic, private top floor master suite.

The Thornworthy is a substantial four-bedroom, three-storey property priced from £273,950. The house boasts a very generous family lounge and spacious open plan kitchen diner with French doors.

This home can also be reconfigured to offer three bedrooms to create a vast master suite room. For reservations in October, Kingswood will include carpets throughout and £1,000 towards legal fees.

There are two show homes to view at The Market Quarter from 10am to 5pm seven days a week.
