Linden Court, Eye, IP23

This handsome 5 bedroom townhouse stands in a commanding position within a Private Court of just 4 individual properties. Tucked away behind the town centre, the interior offers extensive accommodation across three floors and all set within principally walled gardens.

4 Linden offers traditionally inspired architecture presenting a classic front elevation of symmetry including sash type windows and attic dormers completed by a pillared portico. Internally, the accommodation is arranged across three floors with flexibility of use apparent on each floor, The ground floor is served by a sizeable central hallway with two good reception rooms along with a well appointed kitchen combining with garden breakfast room to the rear creating an 'all day' social space. The first floor is arranged to include a large master bedroom suite occupying one half of the first floor including shower room, ante room and dressing room kitted out with extensive wardrobing and storage. In addition to this great space on the first floor family, the layout also includes a second 'double' room with en suite, a third double room and the family bathroom. The second floor not only offers extensive cupboard space but also two further double rooms one being set up as an Office complete with a range of fitted furniture to suit. Details internally worthy of note include moulded cornicing, architraves and deep skirting boards, cherry wood floors and white panelled internal doors. Gas fired radiator heating is installed with radiators throughout. Windows are of a double glazed sash style and not immediately apparent is concealed wiring for a house wide speaker system although neither of the two owners have utilised this. The approach has further matured since Harrison Edge sold the property to the present owners with a lovely established hedge complementing the classic wrought iron Estate and the old red brick of the outer boundary wall, formerly of the historic Linden House.
