Tuffs Road, Eye, IP23

A splendid Edwardian style house, built at the turn of the Millenium by Wimpey Homes and top of their range within the site. This lovely house has been further improved by way of a professional roof conversion providing studio space in addition to 4 bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, 2 showers and a bathroom.

7 Tuffs Road is an impressive, well designed detached house with Edwardian style evident from twin gabled bays, window patterns and a master bedroom complete with semi vaulted ceiling. Forming part of the well laid out Century Road development on the edge of the town, this particular property stands extremely well, at the end of a cul de sac and adjacent to open fields. The thoughtful orientation of the houses in the road and the wider development allows for a good degree of individuality with in this instance additional parking with the two spaces at the front of the double garage. Internally, the layout of the house provides not only two reception rooms but also a study, social kitchen breakfast room plus a conservatory. On the first floor four bedrooms combine with family bathroom in addition to a pair of en suite shower rooms. The style of house allowed the orignal owners to commission the conversion of the roof space creating a tremendous two roomed studio and office but equally useable as additional bedroom space. To enable this, the landing on the first floor was extended and a conventional staircase created. Constructed around the turn of the century, the house was designed with PVCu double glazed windows and gas fired radiator heating. The original owners, in addition to their conversion of the roof space, also adapted the garage to a combination of garage and studio space by way of dry lining and insulation yet retaining vehicular access if required.
