Set within the heart of Eye, this Grade II listed semi-detached cottage offers almost 1,000 sq ft of character-rich space. Exposed timbers, brick fireplaces and a generous lounge create an authentic period feel while the kitchen/breakfast room and two double bedrooms provide practical family accommodation.
Outside, a shingle driveway and wrought-iron gates give secure off-street parking and lead to a private, low-maintenance paved courtyard with raised beds, a powered summerhouse and timber shed. The property is minutes from local shops, a café, and primary and secondary schools, with Diss and its mainline station five miles away for rail links to Norwich and London.
Important practical points: the cottage is Grade II listed and has a flying freehold affecting the kitchen entrance, which may restrict some alterations. The fabric includes timber-frame walls assumed to lack insulation, a mix of single and double glazing and an EPC rating of E — some energy and refurbishment work is likely needed. Heating is mains gas to radiators and mains drainage is connected.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and central convenience who are comfortable with the responsibilities of a listed property and modest upgrading. The layout and plot provide genuine scope to improve energy efficiency and refresh the interior while keeping historic features.
