Magdalen Street, Eye, IP23

A very appealing detached period townhouse offering up to four bedrooms and the added feature of a bespoke Garden Studio/Treatment Room at the rear. The traditionally proportioned interior, enhanced by combining two reception rooms into one lovely large, light living room makes this a very liveable property.

10 Magdalen Street is a traditionally proportioned detached period townhouse found within the Conservation Area of the town and believed to date from the mid 19th Century. The handsome front elevation makes this property the 'stand out' property on the street. Internally, a spacious double reception room extends across the front of the property with a sizeable kitchen beyond along with downstairs shower room. Upstairs, three nicely even sized bedrooms are served by the principle bathroom. At some point in the properties past former owners cleverly developed the roof space inserting a staircase to what is currently used as the main bedroom complete with en suite cloakroom. Of further note is a bespoke garden Treatment Room which could continue in a similar vein or become a Home Office for example. Double glazing is incorporated where possible including within the classic sash windows at the front. Likewise, gas fired radiator heating is installed throughout. This appealing house, with the classic 'Dolls House' appearance offers versatile town living which could suit a family or couples/singletons alike.

Location

The historic town of Eye is blessed with an array of shops and businesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient. With schools ranging from Nursery through Primary to High with Sixth Form, 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 house is a short walk from Broad Street and commercial centre of the town or Castle Street that winds around the remains of the motte & bailey castle, passing the church and 16th century Guildhall along the way. The excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' The Handyman Stores, but also butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets and chemist, complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). Eye is situated favourably to Diss for access to the 18 Hole Golf Course at Stuston 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.
