THE SPARROW

HEMINGWAY RISE AT BRIGHTWELL LAKES, MARTLESHAM

Generous proportions, superb storage and the added advantage of a powered garage.

At 1,116 sq ft, The Sparrow is an exceptionally well-planned three-bedroom home, offering an impressive amount of space both inside and out.

A generous kitchen/dining room with French doors provides the sociable heart of the home, while a separate living room gives you somewhere quieter to relax. A utility room, cloakroom and excellent built-in storage add everyday practicality.

Upstairs are three particularly well-proportioned DOUBLE bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobe space, together with a master bedroom en-suite and family bathroom.

Outside, one of The Sparrow's most valuable features is its garage with power and light connected, accessed via the home's distinctive carport (under bed 3). For buyers comparing new-build properties locally, that additional secure parking and storage is a significant advantage.

STEP INSIDE

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, with stairs rising to the first floor and useful storage positioned beneath.

The ground-floor layout provides a clear distinction between relaxing and entertaining spaces, giving the home flexibility for family life, working from home and entertaining.

To the front is the separate living room, while the kitchen/dining room occupies the rear of the property and opens directly onto the garden.

KITCHEN/DINING AREA

5.350m x 2.830m | 17'7" x 9'3"

Stretching more than 17 feet across the rear of the home, the kitchen/dining room creates a fantastic sociable heart to The Sparrow.

There's ample room for a full-size dining table alongside the contemporary fitted kitchen, making this a space equally suited to weekday breakfasts, family dinners or entertaining friends.

French doors open directly onto the garden, helping create an easy flow between indoors and out and bringing plenty of natural light into the room.

The kitchen specification includes a choice of Gaddesby kitchen cupboards (subject to build stage), high-quality 38mm Egger laminate worktops, contemporary white glass splashback to the hob and an integrated Bosch oven, ceramic hob and hood.

A choice of Porcelanosa floor tiles is also available, subject to build stage.

UTILITY ROOM

1.450m x 1.440m | 4'9" x 4'9"

A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen/dining area.

This useful dedicated space helps keep laundry and everyday household jobs away from the main kitchen, contributing to the clean, sociable feel of the principal living area.

The specification includes space and plumbing for a washing machine, together with downlighting.

LIVING ROOM

3.340m x 4.200m | 11'0" x 13'9"

The separate living room provides a comfortable space in which to relax at the end of the day.

Measuring almost 14 feet in length, there's plenty of room for sofas and occasional furniture, while the front-facing window provides natural light.

The ability to close the door on the kitchen and dining activity is one of The Sparrow's real strengths, giving you both a sociable kitchen/dining area and a completely separate sitting room.

CLOAKROOM

A convenient ground-floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

It is finished with white Porcelanosa sanitaryware, chrome-effect fittings and Porcelanosa splashback tiling.

FIRST FLOOR

Upstairs, the generous proportions continue.

The landing leads to three bedrooms, the family bathroom and useful storage.

A particularly attractive feature of The Sparrow is that all three bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobe space, helping maximise the usable floor area throughout the first floor.

MASTER BEDROOM

3.150m x 3.400m | 10'4" x 11'2"

The master bedroom is a well-proportioned double bedroom with space for additional bedroom furniture as well as fitted wardrobes.

It also benefits from its own private en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable retreat away from the rest of the home.

EN-SUITE

The master bedroom's en-suite is finished with white Porcelanosa sanitaryware and chrome-effect fittings, complemented by Porcelanosa wall tiling to the shower area and splashback above the hand basin.

BEDROOM TWO

3.000m x 3.780m | 9'10" x 12'5"

Bedroom two is an excellent-sized room extending to more than 12 feet in length.

It offers ample space for a double bed and additional furniture, while the fitted wardrobe provides valuable built-in storage.

This is a genuine second double bedroom rather than simply an occasional space.

BEDROOM THREE

2.900m x 4.150m | 9'6" x 13'7"

Bedroom three is another of The Sparrow's strengths.

At over 13 feet in length, this is far from a token third bedroom. It could comfortably serve as a child's bedroom, guest room or generous home office.

It also has the benefit of its own fitted wardrobe, something buyers won't necessarily expect to find in a third bedroom.

The room dimensions match those supplied for The Sparrow.

FAMILY BATHROOM

The first floor is completed by the family bathroom.

The Denbury specification includes white Porcelanosa sanitaryware, chrome-effect mixer taps and a white bath panel, complemented by a choice of Porcelanosa wall tiling, subject to build stage.

GARAGE WITH POWER AND LIGHT

A major advantage of The Sparrow is its garage with power and light connected.

For buyers who value secure parking, storage or practical working space, this is an important feature and one that helps set The Sparrow apart from many competing new-build homes.

The garage provides useful space not only for a vehicle but also for bikes, tools, garden equipment, sports equipment or additional household storage.

Having both power and lighting already connected makes the space considerably more useful from day one.

DISTINCTIVE DRIVE-THROUGH

The Sparrow's drive-through is also a defining architectural feature of the house type.

It provides covered access beneath part of the first-floor accommodation and creates a practical route to the garage and parking beyond.

Together, the drive-through and garage with power and light give The Sparrow a combination of practicality and character that is difficult to replicate in a conventional three-bedroom home.

BUILT FOR MODERN, ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIVING

The Sparrow combines its generous accommodation with a specification designed around modern living.

An air source heat pump supplies underfloor heating to the ground floor, with thermostatically controlled radiators to the first floor.

Each home also benefits from an electric vehicle charging unit, outside lighting, mains-wired smoke detection, TV points and data points.

Other specification highlights include:

Smooth wet-plastered walls for a superior finish
Dulux Swansdown finish to internal walls
Coved cornicing
Four-panel internal doors with chrome-effect handles
UPVC double-glazed windows
Kitchen downlights
Front garden landscaped and turfed
