A room question

We’re currently dipping our toe into looking for a new property. At the moment we’re just seeing what’s out there, what we can afford (we’re getting ours valued today) and figuring out our location etc.
DP and I are discussing the room set up for the kids and I was hoping to get some advice.
We’ll be looking for a four bedroom place so each kid gets their own room. We have dss 12 and 10 half the time and have a almost 3 year old.
In this scenario who should get what room in this floor plan?

I should add- At the moment DDS are sharing a room and DD has her own smaller room

I'd give the DSSs the attic suite to share, until dd is old enough to be on the middle floor alone, at which point I'd swap so parents upstairs in the suite, dd in the biggest 1st floor room, then let the boys argue over who get which of the other bedrooms.

This way you have a spare room which the boys could use as a second sitting room/games console etc

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz bloody good point about DD not being on the floor alone. I hadn’t thought about that I just assumed we would take that room!
Thanks

I’m in an attic bedroom and the baby (one) is on the floor below. I had him in our room until his birthday and I thought it would bother me to have him a floor away but it’s fine. I do occasionally sleep on the single bed in his room if he’s unsettled or ill.

I’d put the three year old in the biggest room on the middle floor and let the other two have a room each plus some study space downstairs. Three year olds have big toys, and use floor space to play plus you’re more likely to spend part of the night in with them if they are ill.

i wouldn't want a 3 year old on a separate floor to parent.
I'd go with DSS having the top floor, like previous person said, you have biggest bedroom on 1st floor, DD 2nd biggest, 3rd room study/private area.
