When buying a new build home, it’s important to look at different styles of houses to ensure you choose the one that best suits all your needs and wants. This month, we’re shining a spotlight on one of our most popular housetypes in Scotland – the Darroch.
Our insider knowledge will guide you through this striking five-bedroom home, the perfect haven for any family. We’ll explain the benefits of a larger home to help you decide whether this is the dream home for you, as well as showcasing some of our Darroch homes for sale across Scotland.
What are the benefits of a Darroch?
So, why do homebuyers fall in love with the Darroch? Simply put, space. It provides flexible and contemporary living, and the opportunity to adapt the space to fit you and your family’s lives. Here are our top benefits of The Darroch housetype:
1. Additional space
The Darroch housetype was specifically designed for family living. When you first arrive, you’re greeted by a vestibule before moving into the bright and airy hallway that connects to the large open plan kitchen, dining and family room, which is the full length of the property. To give you another space to relax, the ground floor also features a spacious yet cosy lounge, ideal for entertaining guests. A separate utility room, downstairs WC, garage and storage completes the ground floor. Upstairs, the galleried landing takes you to five spacious bedrooms - two of which have generous sized en-suite bathrooms - and a stylish bathroom can also be found on the first floor.
2. Room to adapt
The Darroch housetype can easily be adapted to your family dynamics, and rooms can be altered as families and their lifestyles change, and the smaller bedrooms can be transformed for other uses depending on your family’s lifestyle, such as a playroom, games room, and a nursery for a new baby arriving. If you don’t need additional rooms for the kids, why not use your space to create a home office, gym or even a dressing room, depending on how many bedrooms you need. The Darroch truly does live up to the cliché phrase ‘forever home’, as it provides plenty of additional space that can be tailored to suit your needs and wants at any specific time.
3. Take time for yourself
Whilst the Darroch is perfect for families, we understand everyone needs some ‘me time’ here and there, which is when the additional space can be a blessing. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area is a great social hub for family time or entertaining guests, but the additional lounge on the ground floor is ideal for some quiet time, whilst the rooms upstairs can give you complete privacy when it’s needed.
