Lowgate Street, Eye, IP23

A character Grade II Listed town cottage with much interest including 2 double bedrooms, first floor bathroom, 2 reception rooms plus cellar. A delightful partly walled rear garden faces the sun and includes an additional area of garden beyond.

4 Lowgate Street is a fascinating period cottage formed from a larger timber framed building possibly of Hall House origins as many of the town cottages were. The interior is superior to many in that from the front entrance door a hallway extends through to the rear. Furthermore, upstairs two double bedrooms combine with a first floor bathroom all from a sizeable landing. Downstairs, two reception rooms combine with useable cellar space plus a character kitchen with range of handbuilt bespoke units. Gas fired radiator heating is installed and windows include a number being secondary glazed. Of particular note is the extent of character details including timbers, floorboards and period doors along with a good headroom throughout. Furthermore, in addition to the main initial garden space, part of which is walled, a further section of garden belongs to the property and together makes for quite a sizeable plot given the nature of the property.

Location

No.4 sits nicely at the top of Lowgate Street allowing a good outlook from the cottage towards the wider join with Castle Street. A short walk from the shops, the property has the main town facilities close at hand. Eye is fortunate in being self sufficient in many regards including supermarkets, butcher, baker, hardware store and chemist. A wider range of shops attract visitors to the town including those exploring Suffolk given the fine and interesting architecture including the Parish Church noted by the renowned Architectural Historian Niclaus Pevsner as being "one of the wonders of Suffolk". Whilst fronting Lowgate Street, it will not be readily apparent the rear garden not only faces the sun throughout the day, but includes additional land behind.

Direction

From the Town Centre the property is easily found along the main through road and just as the road starts to go downhill. Lowgate Street is a continuation of Broad Street and Castle Street. Pass Harrison Edge on your left and the property will be found along on the right.
