PLOT 28 - THE SWAN

HEMINGWAY RISE AT BRIGHTWELL LAKES, MARTLESHAM

An elegant four-bedroom detached home with exceptional family space, a separate study, garage and an impressive upgraded specification.

The Swan is a beautifully considered four-bedroom detached home designed for buyers who want generous, flexible living space without sacrificing separate rooms.

At its heart is a superb open-plan kitchen and dining/family area, creating a fantastic everyday space for cooking, eating and entertaining. A separate living room provides somewhere quieter to relax, while the addition of a dedicated study makes The Swan particularly well suited to modern family life and home working.

There's also a separate utility room and cloakroom downstairs, while upstairs are four bedrooms, including an impressive Master Bedroom with fitted wardrobes and private en-suite, together with the family bathroom and excellent built-in storage.

Outside, the property benefits from a garage and driveway parking - an important feature that provides secure parking as well as valuable additional storage.

And Plot 28 goes further, with Silestone worktops, integrated appliances and upgraded flooring to the kitchen, hallway and WC already included.

STEP INSIDE

The front door opens into a central entrance hall, creating an attractive sense of arrival and providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms.

The layout has been designed to balance open-plan family living with the ability to close the door on individual spaces.

To one side is the separate living room, while the study sits independently on the opposite side of the hall.

Continue through and the rear of the home opens into the expansive kitchen and dining/family space, with French doors connecting the house to the garden.

KITCHEN

The kitchen forms part of the superb open-plan space stretching across the rear of the home.

There's generous worktop and storage provision, with a large peninsula helping define the kitchen from the adjoining dining/family area while retaining the sociable, open feel.

AND PLOT 28 COMES WITH:

Silestone worktops are included in the kitchen.

Silestone provides a premium finish and gives the kitchen an immediate sense of quality.

Plot 28 also includes integrated kitchen appliances, helping create the clean, streamlined appearance that works so well with this contemporary space.

DINING/FAMILY AREA

Flowing directly from the kitchen is a generous dining and family area.

This is the sociable heart of The Swan - a flexible space with room for a substantial dining table as well as additional furniture to create an informal family seating area if desired.

French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a lovely connection between indoors and out.

It means the room can adapt easily to different stages of family life: breakfast before school, working at the table, family dinners, entertaining friends or opening the doors onto the garden during summer.

UTILITY ROOM

The Swan also benefits from something many buyers put high on their wish list: a separate utility room.

Located just off the kitchen, it keeps laundry and household jobs away from the principal cooking and entertaining space.

There is also direct external access from the utility, making it particularly practical for everyday family life.

And Plot 28 receives another upgrade here:

Silestone worktops are included in the utility room, together with an integrated washing machine.

This allows the quality and finish of the main kitchen to continue through into this highly practical space.

LIVING ROOM

The separate living room provides an inviting contrast to the large open-plan kitchen/family area.

It's a room designed for switching off - somewhere for comfortable sofas, television and relaxed evenings away from the busier heart of the house.

French doors connect the living room directly with the dining/family area, giving you the option of creating a more open flow when entertaining while retaining the ability to separate the rooms when required.

STUDY

A dedicated ground-floor study is another major advantage of The Swan.

Rather than sacrificing one of the bedrooms to create a workspace, this home has a purpose-designed room downstairs.

For buyers working remotely or running a business from home, it allows work to remain separate from the principal living areas and bedrooms.

Equally, it could be used as a homework room, hobby space, playroom or snug depending on the household's needs.

CLOAKROOM

A convenient WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

And on Plot 28, the hallway and WC benefit from upgraded flooring, alongside the upgraded flooring to the kitchen.

These are the areas of a home that see some of the greatest everyday footfall, making upgraded flooring a particularly practical inclusion as well as an attractive one.

FIRST FLOOR

The central staircase rises to a spacious landing giving access to four bedrooms, the family bathroom and additional storage.

One of the strengths of The Swan's first-floor layout is just how much fitted storage has been incorporated.

MASTER BEDROOM

The Master Bedroom is a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and its own private en-suite shower room.

The floorplan shows an excellent amount of dedicated wardrobe space, helping keep freestanding furniture to a minimum and maximising the usable bedroom area.

Combined with the en-suite, it creates a comfortable and private retreat within the home.

MASTER EN-SUITE

The Master Bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, leaving the family bathroom available to serve the remaining bedrooms.

It's an increasingly important feature for busy households and gives the Master Bedroom a genuine suite-like feel.

BEDROOM TWO

Bedroom Two is another generous double bedroom.

The floorplan shows two fitted wardrobe/storage areas, providing an excellent amount of built-in storage and helping maximise the usable floor area.

Its proportions and storage make it particularly suitable for an older child, teenager or regular guests.

BEDROOM THREE

Bedroom Three is another well-planned bedroom and also benefits from fitted wardrobe storage.

It could work equally well as a child's room, guest bedroom or additional workspace depending on the household's needs.

BEDROOM FOUR

Bedroom Four completes the sleeping accommodation.

Positioned alongside the family bathroom, it provides another flexible room suitable as a bedroom, nursery or additional home office.

With a separate study already downstairs, however, buyers can retain all four upstairs rooms as bedrooms if required.

FAMILY BATHROOM

The family bathroom is centrally positioned to serve Bedrooms Two, Three and Four.

Together with the Master Bedroom en-suite and ground-floor WC, The Swan provides bathroom facilities across the home that work particularly well for family life.

GARAGE & PARKING

A major practical advantage of Plot 28 is its garage and driveway parking.

For buyers comparing new-build homes, having a proper garage can make a substantial difference.

As well as secure parking for a vehicle, it provides invaluable additional space for bikes, tools, garden equipment, sports equipment and household storage.

The driveway provides convenient additional off-road parking alongside it.

That combination of garage plus driveway parking complements the generous accommodation inside the house and is an important part of The Swan's overall appeal.

AN UPGRADED HOME FROM DAY ONE

Plot 28 is particularly appealing because a number of desirable upgrades have already been included.

Silestone WORKTOPS

Premium Silestone worktops to both the kitchen and utility room.

INTEGRATED APPLIANCES

Integrated appliances to both the kitchen and utility room, helping create a smart, streamlined finish.

UPGRADED FLOORING

Upgraded flooring to the kitchen, hallway and WC, adding another premium finish to some of the most frequently used areas of the home.

A HOME DESIGNED AROUND REAL LIFE

The Swan provides a combination of rooms that makes it especially versatile.

You have the sociability of the open-plan kitchen and dining/family area, the comfort of a separate living room, the practicality of a utility, and the huge benefit of a dedicated study.

Upstairs, four bedrooms mean there's no need to sacrifice sleeping accommodation for home working.

Then outside, the garage and driveway parking add the practical space families need but which isn't always provided with a modern new home.

MODERN, ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIVING
