Home of the Day – The ‘Fircroft’, Barratt Homes

With many house-hunters seeing the advantage of buying a brand new home set over three floors, the WhatHouse? team’s attention has been drawn to the ‘Fircroft’, a spacious family home design that is currently for sale at City Heights, a Barratt Homes development in Leicester.

The layout of the ‘Fircroft’, a six-bedroom home, is ideal for households spanning different generations, letting residents choose whether they socialise in the communal spaces of the ground floor, including a large lounge, a kitchen and separate dining room, or spend time in their own space. The four bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has an en suite, have access to a large family bathroom.

The top floor has two bedrooms with respective en suites as well as an extra room, which could be used as a study, dressing room or playroom for children. By turning an extra room into a designated office space, those who work from home or children with school work can achieve a desirable separation of home and business life, while a craft room or a home gym would give homeowners the chance to make the space their own.

The ’Fircroft’ comes with a single detached garage and private driveway for two cars, and is priced from £429,995. There are several plots that feature this house type. Right now, buyers can take advantage of a range of offers worth £20,000 or more on selected homes, including options for a deposit or mortgage contribution, or upgrades to things like the kitchen or flooring.

There are other three-storey house types available at City Heights including the ‘Broughton’, the ‘Brentford’, and the ‘Hesketh’, priced from £346,995, £349,995 and £389,995 respectively.

Martyn Parker, sales director at Barratt Homes North Midlands, said: “The three-storey properties at City Heights have been expertly designed to meet the demands of modern living and are perfectly suited to accommodate a range of homebuyers. For property seekers looking for a house with flexible living spaces and the freedom to personalise their home, there are so many reasons why three storey living could be the ideal solution.”

Located on Somerset Avenue, close to the heart of Leicester, the City Heights development offers a range of three-, four- and six-bedroom properties. Deposit Boost and Key Worker Deposit Contribution schemes are available on selected plots. Find out more from Barratt Homes.
