PLOT 34 - THE FIRECREST

HEMINGWAY RISE AT BRIGHTWELL LAKES, MARTLESHAM

Four bedrooms. Three floors. An exceptional 1,391 sq ft of beautifully considered living space.

The Firecrest is a substantial four-bedroom family home offering an impressive 1,391 sq ft of accommodation arranged over three floors.

Its intelligent layout allows every floor to work hard.

The ground floor combines a superb 17'9" kitchen/dining room opening directly onto the garden with a completely separate living room.

The first floor provides two excellent bedrooms, including Bedroom Two with its own en-suite, together with Bedroom Four and the family bathroom.

Continue to the second floor and you'll find two further impressive bedrooms, including the Master Bedroom with its own en-suite and fitted wardrobes.

Add a garage, high-quality Denbury specification and energy-efficient heating, and Plot 32 offers a level of space and practicality that makes it particularly compelling when compared with many conventional four-bedroom new homes.

STEP INSIDE

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the upper floors and useful storage incorporated into the layout.

A ground-floor cloakroom sits conveniently close to the entrance.

The design then opens up to reveal two excellent principal living spaces - a generous kitchen/dining room to the rear and a separate living room.

It's an arrangement that works particularly well for modern family life, giving you a large sociable kitchen and dining space without sacrificing the luxury of a completely separate sitting room.

KITCHEN/DINING AREA

5.395m x 3.406m | 17'9" x 11'2"

Stretching almost 18 feet across the rear of The Firecrest, the kitchen/dining room forms a superb heart to the home.

There's ample room for a substantial dining table alongside the contemporary fitted kitchen, creating a space that can comfortably accommodate everything from busy weekday breakfasts to relaxed dinners and entertaining.

French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between indoors and out and allowing the room to come into its own during the warmer months.

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

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

LIVING ROOM

4.480m x 3.214m | 14'9" x 10'7"

The separate living room measures almost 15 feet in length and provides a comfortable space to retreat to at the end of the day.

There's plenty of flexibility for sofas and occasional furniture, creating a dedicated room for relaxing away from the activity of the kitchen/dining area.

This combination of a large sociable kitchen/diner and completely separate living room is one of The Firecrest's strongest qualities.

CLOAKROOM

Completing the ground floor is a convenient cloakroom.

The Denbury specification includes white Porcelanosa sanitaryware with chrome-effect fittings and Porcelanosa splashback tiling.

FIRST FLOOR

The first floor provides two substantial bedrooms together with an en-suite and the family bathroom.

Rather than compromising bedroom sizes to achieve four bedrooms, The Firecrest provides genuinely generous accommodation throughout.

BEDROOM TWO

4.695m x 3.106m | 15'5" x 10'2"

Bedroom Two is particularly impressive.

At over 15 feet in length, it has the proportions of a substantial double bedroom and benefits from fitted wardrobe space.

Even better, Bedroom Two has its own en-suite shower room, giving guests, older children or another adult household member a level of privacy rarely found in a secondary bedroom.

BEDROOM TWO EN-SUITE

The en-suite includes white Porcelanosa sanitaryware and chrome-effect fittings, together with Porcelanosa wall tiling to the shower cubicle and splashback above the hand basin.

BEDROOM FOUR

3.085m x 3.035m | 10'2" x 10'0"

Bedroom Four is almost square and measures approximately ten feet in both directions.

That's a genuinely useful fourth bedroom rather than a token box room.

It could comfortably accommodate a bedroom, guest room, nursery or home office, depending on how you want to use the space.

FAMILY BATHROOM

The first floor is completed by the family bathroom, featuring white Porcelanosa sanitaryware, chrome-effect mixer taps and a white bath panel, complemented by Porcelanosa wall tiling.

The brochure confirms the first-floor dimensions for Bedrooms Two and Four.

SECOND FLOOR

Continue upstairs and The Firecrest reveals another major advantage of its three-storey design.

The upper floor is home to the Master Bedroom and Bedroom Three, creating a further level of spacious bedroom accommodation.

MASTER BEDROOM

4.080m x 3.035m | 13'5" x 10'0"

The Master Bedroom provides a private retreat at the top of the home.

Measuring over 13 feet in length, it offers plenty of space for bedroom furniture and benefits from fitted wardrobes.

The room also has its own private en-suite shower room, giving the Master Bedroom everything you would expect from the main bedroom of a substantial family home.

MASTER EN-SUITE

Finished with white Porcelanosa sanitaryware, chrome-effect fittings and Porcelanosa tiling to the shower area, the Master en-suite provides a stylish and practical addition to the bedroom.

BEDROOM THREE

4.695m x 3.106m | 15'5" x 10'2"

Bedroom Three is another genuinely impressive room.

At 15'5" x 10'2", it is exactly the same generous dimensions as Bedroom Two and also benefits from fitted wardrobe space.

That makes The Firecrest particularly unusual: even the third bedroom is larger than many master bedrooms found in smaller new homes.

Whether used for children, guests, older teenagers or as an exceptional home-working space, this is a room with plenty of flexibility.

FOUR BEDROOMS THAT REALLY WORK

One of the biggest strengths of The Firecrest is the quality of its bedroom accommodation.

This isn't simply a house that can claim to have four bedrooms.

Bedroom Two: 15'5" x 10'2" with fitted wardrobe and en-suite
Bedroom Three: 15'5" x 10'2" with fitted wardrobe
Bedroom Four: approximately 10'2" x 10'0"
Master Bedroom: 13'5" x 10'0" with fitted wardrobes and en-suite

For growing families, buyers working from home or households regularly welcoming guests, that gives The Firecrest an exceptional level of flexibility.

GARAGE

Plot 32 also benefits from a garage, adding valuable secure parking and additional storage to an already spacious home.

For buyers comparing new developments, a proper garage can be a significant advantage.

Beyond parking a vehicle, it provides useful space for bikes, tools, garden equipment, sports equipment or those everyday belongings that you don't necessarily want taking up space inside the house.

Together with the home's 1,391 sq ft of internal accommodation, the garage adds another layer of practicality to Plot 32.

BUILT FOR MODERN, ENERGY-EFFICIENT LIVING

The Firecrest combines generous proportions with a modern, energy-conscious specification.

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

All homes at Hemingway Rise also benefit from an electric vehicle charging unit, outside lighting, mains-wired smoke detection, TV points and data points.

Other thoughtful specification features include smooth wet-plastered walls, Dulux Swansdown finish to internal walls, coved cornicing, four-panel internal doors with chrome-effect handles, UPVC double-glazed windows, fitted wardrobes where indicated, kitchen downlights, landscaped and turfed front garden, rear garden cleared, rotavated and topsoiled, natural Riven paving to paths and patios, outside tap and Ultrafast Fibre Broadband provision by Openreach.

HEMINGWAY RISE AT BRIGHTWELL LAKES

Hemingway Rise forms part of the wider Brightwell Lakes community in Martlesham, offering energy-efficient new homes in a setting designed to balance countryside living with modern convenience.

The wider community places nature at its heart, incorporating retained and enhanced woodland, wildflower meadows and areas of heathland together with new walking and cycling links.

Nearby Adastral and Martlesham Heath Business and Retail Parks provide easy access to shops, employment and leisure facilities, while the riverside market town of Woodbridge and Ipswich are both within easy reach.
