Description

A rare opportunity to acquire a pair of semi detached cottages in need of extensive modernisation and improvement. Situated towards the end of a No Through Lane, the cottages have driveway and gardens behind. Each has two bedrooms plus additional first floor spaces and two ground floor reception rooms .

The cottages, which were originally Nos. 10, 11, 12 & 13 Ludgate Causeway have been in the same family ownership since 1959. Originally four separate cottages, alterations many years ago created two virtually matching pairs which are now being offered for sale in need of extensive modernisation and improvement with tremendous scope to redevelop, subject to Planning Permission and Building Regulation Approval. Each current cottage has two bedroom spaces along with first floor bathrooms and landings. The ground floors comprise two reception room areas in each with kitchens to the rear along with ancillary spaces. A driveway to the left end of the row leads to the rear and a parking area along with a number of outbuildings including a Garage/Workshop. There is 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 especially when one considers the period buildings towards 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 excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' The Handyman Stores and a butchers, bakers, 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. Ludgate Causeway is a lane about a 10 minute attractive walk from the town centre with a delightful shortcut through the churchyard. At the top of the lane, which is a dead end for motor vehicles, is the long established home of Eye Cricket Club. A number of Public Footpaths lead off the Causeway across the Pennings for example, a Nature Area alongside the River Dove. Equally, the footpath network extends completely around the town making the area a walkers' haven.

Direction

From the Town Centre head towards the Church following the B1118 on past to Abbey Bridge. Immediately over the bridge turn right into Ludgate Causeway and carry on to the top of the hill. The cottages will be found on the right.
