Charming three-bed period cottage with courtyard garden and off-street parking — close to open countryside..
Three bedrooms with remodeled first-floor shower room
Attractive courtyard garden with summerhouse and storage
Private off-street parking beside the house
PVCu double glazing and gas radiator heating throughout
Small overall size — approx. 814 sq ft; modest internal space
Timber-frame walls likely uninsulated — potential energy upgrade needed
Slow broadband speeds in the area may affect home working
Single bathroom may be limiting for larger families
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.
