Larks Reach gives family room to grow

Buying a new home is the single largest purchase a person is likely to make in their lifetime, so finding the perfect property is very important. For those who are looking to start a family, a new home must offer all the space needed and allow a couple to adapt to the change in lifestyle that comes with having children.

This is exactly what two newlywed purchasers were looking for when they bought a four bedroom home at Crest Nicholson’s Larks Reach development in Red Lodge, Suffolk.

When Ami Barragry (33) got a new job in Haverhill, her and husband, Stephen (45) started looking to relocate the family to Suffolk from Kent. When they found out about Red Lodge the couple felt that the location was ideal for them as it has good access to both the A11 and M11, as well as being quiet and offering a slice of country living. They found the homes on offer at Larks Reach, the new phase of development by Crest Nicholson, were just what they were looking for and, although originally looking for a three bedroom home, were pleased to find they could afford a bigger four bedroom property.

Ami comments, “When Stephen and I started looking for our first home together we came across a second hand Crest Nicholson home at Red Lodge and immediately liked the area, when we saw the new homes at Larks Reach and in particular the four bedroom property, we knew that it was the house for us. We really loved the quiet location and style of the property, as well as it having a good size south facing back garden. We can see ourselves staying here for a long time as it has the space for us to start a family in the future and I think it would be a great place to raise children.”

Larks Reach is a stylish collection of three and four bedroom houses and two bedroom apartments. Kings Warren has been carefully master-planned to create a fully integrated community that is perfectly situated to enjoy the best of both town and country living, with a range of first class local facilities. Along with 1,250 new homes, when complete the development will also feature a well-equipped sports complex that will include three standard football pitches, as well as a cricket pitch complete with pavilion and changing rooms.

Annette Cole, Sales and Marketing Director at Crest Nicholson (Eastern) Ltd. comments, “For newlywed couples like Ami and Stephen, finding a property big enough for a future family is often an important factor in buying a new home. The houses on offer at Larks Reach offer all the space needed and have been expertly designed to ensure that they offer buyers a home that is perfectly suited to modern family life.”
