Wellington Road, Eye

Tucked away along a quiet lane in the centre of Eye and offered with no onward chain, Bedingfield Cottage is a charming Grade II listed home that pairs character features with comfortable everyday living. Forming part of what was once the Bedingfield Arms and adjoining cottages, this semi-detached property delivers just under 1,000 sqft of accommodation arranged across two well-planned floors. Its position places you within a short stroll of the town’s independent shops, cafés and amenities, while the wider services of Diss, including the mainline rail station to Norwich and London, are found just five miles to the south. With off-road parking, a private courtyard garden and a layout that feels both inviting and practical, the cottage suits buyers seeking a distinctive period home in a sought-after Suffolk market town.

The room’s size offers flexibility for furniture placement, while exposed features and its overall character reflect the building’s heritage.

At the rear, the kitchen and breakfast room provides a sociable and functional space with room for a dining table. The layout supports everyday cooking and entertaining, with a door leading into the rear hall and onward into the wc and utility area, which provides a practical addition to the ground floor.

Outside, a shingle driveway offers convenient off road parking and leads to wrought iron double gates that open into the courtyard garden. This private outdoor area is designed for easy upkeep, with a mainly paved layout, raised planters and space for pots or further planting. A timber shed provides storage, while the summerhouse, complete with power and lighting, adds a versatile extra feature that can serve as a hobby room, workspace or a place to unwind.
