Space for independence under one roof

As children become teenagers and young adults, the way a family uses a home changes. Bedrooms become more than places to sleep; they become study areas, social spaces and private retreats. 102 Lakeview Way, Hampton Hargate is well suited to this stage of family life, offering five bedrooms, multiple en-suites and accommodation arranged over three floors.

With approximately 1,723 sq ft of internal living accommodation, this is a home that gives everyone room to breathe while still keeping the family connected.

A layout that encourages flexibility

The three-storey design is one of the home’s strongest features for families with older children. The ground floor provides shared living spaces, the first floor offers the main bedroom and further bedrooms, and the second floor creates a more independent upper level.

This top floor could be particularly appealing for teenagers or older children. Bedrooms four and five are both generous rooms, with bedroom four having access to its own en-suite. This creates a sense of separation and independence, ideal for older children who value their own space.

Shared spaces that still bring everyone together

While independence matters, so does having spaces where the family can come together. The lounge is generous, comfortable and bright, with a gas fireplace and French doors opening to the rear garden. It is a natural setting for evenings, films and relaxed family time.

The separate dining room provides space for meals, conversations and occasions, while the kitchen offers a practical setting for everyday routines. With space for key appliances, a range-style cooker with extractor above and a cabinet housing the Ideal boiler, the kitchen is well equipped for family use.

Bedrooms that work for study, privacy and routine

Bedroom two is another strong option for an older child, guest or young adult still living at home, as it benefits from access to its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom three includes built-in triple wardrobes and could work well as a bedroom, study or dressing room.

The main bedroom also offers excellent storage, with two double-sized built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite bathroom. This gives parents a comfortable private space away from the main family activity.

With five bedrooms available, the home can adapt to different needs: bedrooms for children, study rooms, gaming spaces, guest accommodation or hobby rooms.

Multiple bathrooms for busy households

Families with older children often find that bathroom space becomes increasingly important. This home answers that need well, with a family bathroom, an en-suite bathroom to the main bedroom, an en-suite to bedroom two, and an en-suite to bedroom four.

This arrangement helps reduce morning queues and gives older children more independence, especially when preparing for school, college, work or social plans.

Parking and storage for a growing household

As children get older, households often need more parking, more storage and more practical space. The side driveway, carport and double tandem garage are valuable features. The garage includes an electric door, sockets and lighting, making it useful for bikes, sports equipment, tools, storage or even a workshop area.
