Description

Tucked away within the heart of the Conservation Area, this 3 bedroom property has parking for two cars along with a splendid walled garden space. Converted from a Victorian Club-Room, officially opened in September 1883, this practical modern home has a character facade and well planned interior.

17D is the result of a clever conversion of the original Club Room by the present owners, creating a small collection of townhouses and an apartment. This particular property is arguably the prime plot being set to the rear and with a surprising walled garden of good size for the town. Arranged with recessed entrance door opening to a sizeable and welcoming entrance hall, the ground floor has lounge with sliding patio door leading out to the garden along with a practical sized kitchen dining room with ample space for a table and chairs. Likewise, the kitchen dining room has matching sliding patio doors leading out to the garden along with windows providing an outlook towards Lowgate Street. Upstairs the right angled turning staircase leads up to a landing serving all four spaces including the bathroom and features a stairwell window providing not only natural light but also an outlook to the rear. Windows are double glazed and radiator heating installed fired by a back boiler to the fire installed within the lounge. The property is offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Location

No.17D sits tucked away in the heart of the town and forms the rear section of the cleverly converted former 'Club Room' of the then Cherry Tree Tavern, Eye at that time was renowned for having over thirty Public Houses of which this was one. In 1883 it is recorded in The Ipswich Journal of the official opening ceremony in September of that year. We have a copy of the original article recording the event. Towards the end of the 20th Century the premises, as one, served as the Dairy with milk and produce being delivered throughout the town and villages. Oliver, well known in the town and now at The Handyman hardware store, used to work at the dairy and can give a first hand account of the buildings. Castle Street joins with Church Street and Broad Street at the Town Hall following the outline of the early motte and bailey castle, the mound of which is still visible within the town. Within walking distance of the town centre facilities, the property is ideally set for those seeking a quality and convenient location that features a character full roof scape view of the town. Eye is extremely well served by day to day amenities and shops and is renowned for the varied cultural activities that take place throughout the year not least theatre productions, classical music concerts and annual art exhibition. In addition to the excellent food shops and services, the friendly town is also renowned for shops and businesses specialising in the arts, antiques and objet d'art. The surrounding countryside is accessible via an excellent network of public footpaths ideal for the Rambler and the wider area contains an array of interesting villages, towns and the Coast is only a 45 minute drive away. For the commuter the mainline rail station at Diss provides services between the Cathedral City of Norwich to the north and London's Liverpool Street Station.
