The benefits of living in a three storey house
Three storey living = endless possibilities. Discover why a home with three floors could be the perfect solution for flexible living.
When it comes to buying a house, finding a space that works for you and your family is the most important thing, but more space doesn’t necessarily have to mean a bigger footprint. Let’s take a look at what makes three-storey living more popular than ever.
Why choose a house with three storeys?
Why choose a house with three storeys?
A house with three storeys gives you the freedom to live your life the way you want. Each floor can serve a different purpose, helping you to stay organised and enjoy your home to the fullest.
Picture this: a lively open-plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor, a comfy living room on the first floor for quiet evenings and a top-floor bedroom that feels like a private retreat. Maybe you want a whole floor for a home office or creative space — with three levels, it’s easy to make it yours.
It’s a layout that just makes life feel smoother. You can enjoy busy, social areas while also having calm, tucked-away spaces for downtime, giving your home a natural balance that suits everyday life.
How a three-storey house design works in real life
Thoughtful three-storey house design helps you get the most out of every inch. On the ground floor, you’ll usually find the heart of the home — a kitchen and dining area that flows out to the garden. It’s perfect for breakfast chats, family dinners, or sunny afternoons with friends, as well as a warm and welcoming living room.
It’s ideal for curling up with a book, watching a film, or enjoying a little peace away from the busier areas below. Upstairs, the first floor is often split into two rooms (which can be used as bedrooms, hobby rooms, or additional living space), and the top floor can become your private retreat: think main bedroom, a home office, a playroom for kids, or even a guest suite.
There’s room to create whatever suits your life best. Three-storey house plans make it easy to separate different areas so everyone in the home has the space they need.

The advantages of three-storey living for families
Families especially benefit from a three-storey house. If you've got teenagers craving their own space, they can enjoy their own floor with privacy, while you spend time in the rest of the house without hearing their every move or Xbox game.
Or, if you're looking for extra room for when relatives or friends visit, you could make them comfortable on the top floor with a bedroom and an ensuite.
Not all three-storey designs are the same, but the flexibility is always there, so you can decide which rooms can be used for what. It’s a home that grows with you. Whether your household is bustling now or you’re planning for the future, a new build townhouse with three storeys can adapt to your lifestyle, giving everyone their own space while keeping the home connected.
Making space for work and hobbies
With more of us working from home, having a dedicated space can make a big difference. A three-storey house design lets you carve out a floor or a room for a home office, far from the hustle and bustle of the kitchen and living areas.
The extra space is just as handy for hobbies. From a home gym to an art studio or music room, you can have the room you need without compromising bedrooms or shared areas.
It’s all about giving you freedom to enjoy the things you love at home.
