Church Street, Eye, IP23

An interesting renovation prospect having rear garden, ground floor hallway and utility along with an extensive multi-room first floor. Offered for sale with no onward chain having been in the same ownership since 1988.

1a Church Street is unusual in that it extends in the main above a commercial space which for many years has and continues to be The Fabric Shop. 1a is Freehold with private ground floor hallway entrance complete with stairs, utility room and access out to an enclosed rear garden. The surprisingly extensive, multi room first floor is a Flying Freehold in the main save for the landing and bathroom, corresponding with the hallway and utility room below. A Right of Way exists in favour of 1a Church Street to pass on foot only over the left hand side passageway for the purpose only of delivery of coal and emptying of dustbins. The first floor living space offers scope for differing use and layout but could at least provide two bedrooms, two reception rooms along with ancillary space and bathroom. The property requires modernisation, repair and refurbishment and scope to become a stylish and impressive Eye town centre property.

Location

1a Church Street is in the heart of the town, just off the main street across from the Town Hall. Church Street, Broad Street and Castle Street form a loop around the town a consequence of the motte and bailey castle. The castle mound acts as one of the three major town landmarks along with the Town Hall and fine historic church considered to be one of the best in Suffolk. Eye is fortunate in being central within East Anglia well served by the A140 trunk road which connects with the A14, A143 and A47 enabling access throughout the region. Nearby Diss includes a mainline station with services between Norwich to the north and London Liverpool Street with options to change at Stowmarket for travel west to Kings Cross/Edinburgh connections and Stratford for travel into Europe via Eurostar.

Direction

The property is easy to find once in the town. Turn into Church Street opposite the Town Hall and alongside the Chemist. 1a will be found almost immediately on the left, the entrance door to the right hand side.
