3 bed end terrace house for sale

Church Street, Eye, Suffolk IP23

This town house is not what it might look like! A number of surprises lie behind the door not least its size and depth along with a very usable barn providing two floors of studio/workshop/annex space. 3 bedrooms combine with 2 reception rooms and good ancillary space.

23 Church Street forms one end of a short terrace of red brick fronted cottages separated by a set of carriage gates through which all four properties have a pedestrian Right of Way to their respective rear access. As No. 23 is on the the end there is no need for others to access it, or to disturb its privacy. This particular cottage like Dr Who's expanding phone box has the many attributes of a larger property being two abutted buildings now forming the whole. Consequently, behind the front door one is greeted by a good size entrance area with wide tall stairwell before heading through to two very comfortable sized reception rooms. It is also worth noting that unlike the other cottages and houses along the street, this property does not have a reception room alongside the pavement. The clever creation of the hallway and stairs set the reception space back from the street and this creates a noticeable sense of peace and calm. As can be seen from the floorplan, the staggered layout allows the reception room window to provide a long view to the barn at the very rear. The dining room beyond links in with the kitchen. Upstairs, the long landing serves three bedrooms and bathroom. The delightful courtyard garden, walled along one side and bordered by the cottage and barn, is a lovely backdrop to the main accommodation. This versatile barn clearly a huge bonus provides workshop space, storage along with a converted first floor. A downstairs wc is the finishing touch. It has been an office, a children's safe sleepover space and currently a peaceful haven.
