Broad Street, Eye, IP23 7AF

Iris House forms one half of an interesting pair of Edwardian townhouses which have a fascinating town history. Dating from around 1904 and technically Edwardian, their design hints at the developing architectural styles that lay ahead but contains a number of classic Victorian features. Inside three original fireplaces remain along with a good example of a classic Victorian tessellated floor along with joinery and door furniture. The front windows contain attractive coloured glass upper lights along with coloured glass also being used in places at the rear. Harrison Edge last sold this property in 2016 it having been freshly modernised following purchase at Auction from the Estate of a long standing Eye resident. The sympathetic works managed to retain the classic feel of the building whilst introducing alterations to include the opening and combining of two reception rooms, the creation of a study or occasional bedroom to the rear, a first floor laundry room along with en suite shower room to the front bedroom. Furthermore, the rear double bedroom is fortunate in having an adjoining dressing room en route to the bathroom beyond. Of particular note was the conversion of the cellar to a useable versatile space which since has served as bedroom, music room and playroom. Gas fired radiator heating is installed throughout.

Outside
8 Broad Street stretches from the marketplace right through to Cross Street at the rear enclosed from the street by a sliding door access to and from the courtyard. Designed originally to slide back to provide full width access, the courtyard space could in theory have been used to accommodate a small Smart type car. The current and previous owners have however chosen to use the space much more as a garden and one which is particularly inviting showing what can be achieved within a relatively small town space. Overall the length of the courtyard is 26'. There is of course free parking within the town including the Cross Street Car Park just opposite. A former WC has been adapted to a Store and an outside tap provided.
