Tucked at the bottom of Lowgate Street, this period semi-detached cottage blends traditional charm with practical updates. The house offers three bedrooms, a remodeled first-floor shower room, and a well-proportioned reception room at the front. PVCu double glazing and gas central heating provide modern comfort while retaining cottage character.
A compact gravel driveway gives private off-street parking and the rear courtyard garden is a standout: a manageable, attractive outdoor space with a summerhouse and timber garage for storage. The property sits close to open countryside yet remains within easy reach of Eye’s shops, schools and local services — ideal for families wanting rural access without isolation.
Buyers should note the home is relatively small (approx. 814 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so indoor living space and garden are modest. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and the timber-frame walls are assumed to lack insulation, which may mean further works to improve energy efficiency. The single shower-room layout may suit some buyers but could be limiting for larger households.
Overall this freehold cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home near countryside amenities, or those wanting a period property with scope to improve energy performance and personal finishes. Council tax is low, and flooding risk is minimal, adding practical appeal.
