I grew up in a 3 storey, nightmare carrying to hoover up and down! Although i did enjoy having my own space/floor.0

And there is still a psychiatric unit on part of the site http://www.5boroughspartnership.nhs.uk/internal.aspx?PageID=5645
Houses look lovely though (and I've always thought that when I've driven past). My parents have a house with 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor and it was never a problem.0 -
Good god, that place looks like something out of Footballers' Wives...0

Hi, the house we are looking to buy is not on Winwick Park - that was for comparison purposes only0

Wow! What a house! Amazing what can be bought for £500k if one is prepared to live in the middle of nowhere miles from civilization.
A 3-storey has all sorts of rules and regs if you ever intend to let the property. Otherwise, I'm not aware of any issues for an owner-occupier.0 -
Depends what you mean by 'middle of nowhere miles from civilisation'. Doesn't mean within 20 mins drive of Liverpool and Manchester in my book!0

It isn't that much hassle to put a small hoover in the back of a cupboard on the upper floors. They don't need to be hoovered usually as thoroughly as the ground floors. Problem solved."If you don't feel the bumps in the road, you're not really going anywhere "

Watching my wife carry the hoover down the stairs as I type ( I should have carried it I know)
hopen you have some ideas and tips from other posters
teenage kids love there own space ! and own floor
young kids ? you might want to be close to them ( same floor)
older person might want a bunaglow
It all depends on the size and layout of the house and the plot
3/4 storey houses have been built for the last three hundred years if not older
bathroom on every floor and I prefer to have the main living area on the ground floor and bedrooms upstairs0
