Use of に particle

Can someone help me with the different uses of に particle? I have an example where I get really lost.
私はうちにかえります。
I don't get what's the function of the に particle in this case.

かえる is a verb that indications motion. You need a starting point or a destination, at the very least, though they could be omitted and implied by context.

に marks the destination of the motion described by かえる here. うち means "(one's) home", うち (home) に (to) かえります (return). Return to home. Or, "go home" in more natural English.
