Castle Street, Eye, IP23

This 2 bedroom 'end of 3' townhouse is the clever conversion of a larger detached period house which has retained the atractive 'detached house' facade. Furthermore, No.17 has retained the front entrance door. A parking space can be found at the rear along with a narrow finger of land alongside the right hand side.

No.17 forms one part of the main house to what has been the conversion of the original Town 'Club Room' in 1883. The main street side house now forms two separate residential units and a small commercial space to the left hand side. Let for a number of years, this well proportioned 2 bedroom townhouse is double glazed, has gas radiator heating throughout along with a first floor bathroom and parking space at the rear. Whilst there is no garden the property does own an enclosed narrow finger of land between itself and the neighbouring property and which is accessed by a doorway from the parking space. The property is vacant with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Location

17 Castle Street sits just around the bend as the road turns away from the top of Lowgate Street so it is central to all the town has to offer. A parking space can be found to the rear. 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.
