Very few of us will live in the same house our whole lives. At differing stages of our lives we have different houses- depending on what we’re planning- like family or retirement.
To help you choose the best home for your lifestyle and stage in life we’ve got a few suggestions below:

I’m an empty nester.

You are retired (or planning your retirement) and want to downsize now the kids have finally moved out. You probably a house suitable for two, but still big enough to enjoy. You can easily go for a 3 bedroom and use the spare bedroom as a workshop, sewing room, studio, dedicated room for the grandkids or even just as an extra storage space.

The perfect home for you is The Verve, with plenty of space to adapt to your needs.

I have got a family (and it’s growing).

There’s one thing that every growing family needs: space. Always look for homes with separate games and activity zones, plenty of bedrooms that are big enough for kids to grow up in (teenagers love their space)! And for a bit of serenity for mum and dad, why not have a master bedroom at the front of the home away from all the (inevitably noisy) action.

The Applause is your design: it’s a practical home for the modern family.

I’m a natural born entertainer.

Ever the social butterfly you always like to have your home full of people and fun: you like to entertain – and you want to do it in style. Choose homes with large alfresco areas, and an open plan living dining area so you have both winter and summer covered. And you absolutely need to have a master chef style kitchen that will give you room to cook up a storm. A big home theatre is great for home movie nights and watching the game with the gang.

You will love The Vision, a striking home perfect for the entertainer.

I’m a busy mother (or father!)

Pick a home with the right design: it will take you half the time to get things done. Do you usually need to prepare a meal while you hang a load of washing? Make sure you have a laundry close to the garage, and off the kitchen: this way, you’ll also ensure the kids’ toys or dirty clothes never have to make their way into the living area. A more compact home means less time cleaning too!

Your ideal home could be The Acclaim: it’s built for style and practicality, and will give any family the room they need every day.
