Castle Street, Eye, IP23

This substantial period townhouse is presented for sale in remarkable order and offers excellent square footage, volume and plot including gated off road parking. 3 Bedrooms combine with bath and shower rooms, two reception rooms plus Garden Room and tremendous kitchen.

This remarkable townhouse has quite possibly the widest frontage on Castle Street which not only enables a sizeable garden but also gated off street parking. Whilst technically semidetached, No.29 is in fact two thirds of this Edwardian red brick building and presents a handsome double fronted elevation to the street. Internally, a classic central hallway with stairs has reception rooms either side with to the rear a full width kitchen breakfast room before single storey further space extends to one side. Upstairs, the central landing serves three bedrooms along with shower room; one of the principal rooms having a splendid bathroom en suite. The current owner, having purchased the property following works by the previous owner, has spent much of the past two years since undoing, renewing, replacing and enhancing the building both inside and out to create the special house we see today. The creation of the spectacular interior will not have been quick, easy or cheap to execute but has certainly created a home of great personality. Most recently (October 2024) some final works have included replacement of soffits and fascias and replacing of gutters of a more appropriate size. Gas radiator heating is installed throughout along with double glazing incorporated, rewiring, replumbing, reroofing etc.

Location

The historic town of Eye is blessed with an array of shops and businesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient. With schools, both Nursery, Primary and High, a Health Centre and varied social and recreational opportunities, all age groups are catered for. The town includes an impressive mix of architecture and interesting buildings especially when one considers the impressive properties towards the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101feet, the renowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk) describes it as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". The excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' that is The Handyman Stores and also a butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets and chemist, complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). Diss is fortunate in being able to offer amongst other things an 18 Hole Golf Course and importantly a well used commuter rail service which runs between the Cathedral City of Norwich to the north and London's Liverpool Street Station. This particular property is essentially at the heart of the town just along from the landmark Church, castle mound and notable houses. The network of footpaths that surround the town are readily accessible making the location ideal for keen walkers.

Direction

29 Castle Street is easily found a short walk along from the Church or from the Marketplace, by passing Harrison Edge on the left and continuing around the bend to the left along Castle Street.
