Set in the heart of historic Eye, White Lion House is a characterful Grade II Listed townhouse offering flexible family accommodation across three floors. The property keeps many original features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and sash windows — and provides generous room sizes across approximately 1,397 sq ft, including a useful cellar and a kitchen/breakfast room that opens onto a paved rear terrace.
The layout is practical for family life: two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, with a spacious third bedroom and shower room on the second. The home includes off-street parking (two spots accessed via Buckshorn Lane, one currently part of the courtyard but potentially reinstatable) and a small private terrace for outdoor seating.
Important practical notes: the house’s Grade II Listed status means repairs, alterations and some modernisation will require listed-building consent and may limit changes. There is a management company for the group with a service charge of £150 per annum; an ADT alarm is in place at approximately £40 per month. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited, so outdoor living is best suited to terrace-style use rather than a garden.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer who values period character and a central small‑town location. It’s well placed for local shops, primary and secondary schools and road links to Norwich and Ipswich. Buyers should factor in listed-building constraints and ongoing maintenance when considering modernisation or extension.
