Also tailor your accommodation/house type to accommodate your intended family and then "add one".
There are still "Miracles" in later life, bundles of joy that come along when you least expect it.

Sheesh, why not go the whole hog and just get a separate house for yourself!Here's what I would love but will never have in my 3 bed semi (which I love and have no intention of moving from)
- a walk in wardrobe for me alone. My other half is a total slob and I would love to not have to share any space with him! He can have a closet in the hall or something.
- an ensuite bathroom just for me so I never have to share a toilet with the same DH! After 40+ years, he still can't hit straight.
OP - You might want to consider future-proofing your house design, to make sure it will meet your needs in the future. When you get older, you might need to have a full bathroom and bedroom on the ground floor. This doesn't mean that you have to provide a full bathroom with bath/shower on the ground floor now, but you should design in the drainage that will support this at a later stage. You might need walls that will support grab rails in the bathroom and the bedroom. You don't need to fit the grab rails how, but you should ensure that your walls will support them later. You get the idea.
Somehow I reckon the OP is a long way off from being a whiskered old man hobbling along on his walking stick.
