This detached 'modern classic' family home has been owned since new by the current family which is over 50 years. A long tenure I always feel proves the house 'works', the area is good and the building was capable of serving as a family home for all those years. The gardens have always been renowned locally for their fastidious planting year in year out and sit front and rear of the property making the house nicely central. A good length and width of driveway leads off the road with width and access at the left side. Inside, four bedrooms with bathroom (now adapted to a shower) form the first floor along with two ground floor reception rooms, kitchen and cloakroom along with a rear lobby and access to the garage. Potentially, new owners may look to extend, subject to Planning Permission being obtainable. Similar neighbouring properties have themselves been enlarged and re-arranged. Windows are double glazed with PVCu frames and gas fired radiator heating now installed. The property is offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN.
Location
The historic town of Eye is blessed with an array of shops and businesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient. With schools, both Nursery, Primary and High, a Health Centre and varied social and recreational opportunities, all age groups are catered for. The town includes an impressive mix of architecture and interesting buildings and is especially well known for the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101feet, the renowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk) describes it as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". The house is a short walk from the commercial centre of the town passing along the way the famous serpentine wall to Broad Street and Castle Street that winds around the remains of the motte & bailey castle, passing the church and 16th century Guildhall along the way. The excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' that is The Handyman Stores and also butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets and chemist, complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). Diss offers amongst other things an 18 Hole Golf Course and importantly a well used commuter rail service which runs between the Cathedral City of Norwich to the north and London's Liverpool Street Station. Sitting nicely back from the road behind a locally renowned front garden, this 'modern classic' detached house enjoys an open aspect towards Castleton Way.
Direction
Castleton Way is easily accesible from the A140 and the new roundabout at Yaxley or the town centre. From the town pass the Town Hall on the left and continue until the turn left at the Serpentine wall into Castleton Way. No.7 will be found along on the right. Back to listing
