About
*STAMP DUTY PAID!* PLOT 50 - THE SNIPE HEMINGWAY RISE AT BRIGHTWELL LAKES, MARTLESHAM A perfect place to start.
The Snipe is a beautifully considered 759 sq ft two-bedroom home, offering a superb balance of sociable open-plan space and separate rooms in which to relax.
At the heart of the home is an impressive kitchen/dining room measuring almost 15 feet wide - a wonderful everyday living and entertaining space with French doors opening outside - complemented by a separate living room.
Upstairs are two good sized bedrooms, both featuring built-in storage, alongside the family bathroom. Plot 50 is anticipated to be ready Spring 2027 (March/April/May).
The brochure confirms The Snipe is 759 sq ft and Plot 50 is one of eight Snipe homes at Hemingway Rise. STEP INSIDE The entrance hall immediately establishes the practical layout of this home.
From here, doors lead to the principal ground-floor rooms, with a useful storage cupboard conveniently positioned underneath the stairway, maximising space throughout the rest of the property.
The Snipe has been designed to give you the best of both worlds: a generous kitchen/dining room for everyday life and entertaining, while retaining a completely separate living room for those times when you simply want to close the door and relax.
KITCHEN/DINING AREA 4.550m x 2.810m | 14'11" x 9'3" This is undoubtedly one of The Snipe's highlights.
Measuring almost 15 feet across, the kitchen/dining room provides a fantastic sociable heart to the home, with plenty of space to accommodate a dining table alongside the contemporary fitted kitchen.
French doors lead directly outside, creating a lovely connection between the house and garden and providing the perfect setting for summer dining, entertaining friends or simply opening the doors to let the outside in.
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 a Bosch oven, ceramic hob and hood.
A choice of Porcelanosa floor tiles is also available, (subject to build stage).
LIVING ROOM 3.500m x 3.490m | 11'6" x 11'6" The separate living room extends to almost 12 feet in length and provides a comfortable space in which to relax at the end of the day.
Its proportions allow plenty of flexibility for sofas and occasional furniture, while the front-facing window brings natural light into the room.
Having a separate living room is one of The Snipe's real strengths - the kitchen/dining room can remain the lively hub of the home while the living room provides somewhere quieter to retreat to.
CLOAKROOM Completing the ground floor is a useful cloakroom, conveniently positioned underneath the stairway.
Finished with white Porcelanosa sanitaryware, chrome-effect fittings and Porcelanosa splashback tiling, it is another example of the practical details incorporated into the design.
FIRST FLOOR Upstairs, the central landing leads to two bedrooms, the family bathroom and useful storage.
PRINCIPAL BEDROOM 3.850m x 3.010m | 12'8" x 9'11" The principal bedroom is positioned to the rear of the home and combines comfortable proportions with the luxury of its own built-in wardrobe, which provides valuable built-in storage without compromising the bedroom space.
BEDROOM TWO 3.850m x 2.540m | 12'8" x 8'4" Bedroom two is another well-proportioned bedroom and also benefits from a fitted wardrobe.
It offers plenty of flexibility for a double bed and additional furniture, making this a genuinely useful second bedroom rather than simply an occasional room.
FAMILY BATHROOM The first floor is completed by the family bathroom.
The specification includes white Porcelanosa sanitaryware with chrome-effect mixer taps and a white bath panel, complemented by a choice of Porcelanosa wall tiles, subject to build stage.
DESIGNED FOR MODERN LIVING The Snipe combines its thoughtful layout with the high-quality specification found throughout Hemingway Rise.
An air source heat pump supplies underfloor heating to the ground floor with thermostatically controlled radiators to the upper floor.
Every home also includes an electric vehicle charging unit, outside lighting, mains-wired smoke detector, TV points to the living room and principal bedroom and data points to key rooms.
