Lowgate Street, Eye, IP23 7AS

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.
