For Sale 3 Bed House - end terrace 

Location

the then Cherry Tree Tavern, Eye at that time was renowned for having over thirty Public Houses of which this was one. In 1883 it is recorded in The Ipswich Journal of the official opening ceremony in September of that year. We have a copy of the original article recording the event. Towards the end of the 20th Century the premises, as one, served as the Dairy with milk and produce being delivered throughout the town and villages. Oliver, well known in the town and now at The Handyman hardware store, used to work at the dairy and can give a first hand account of the buildings. Castle Street joins with Church Street and Broad Street at the Town Hall following the outline of the early motte and bailey castle, the mound of which is still visible within the town. Within walking distance of the town centre facilities, the property is ideally set for those seeking a quality and convenient location that features a character full roof scape view of the town. Eye is extremely well served by day to day amenities and shops and is renowned for the varied cultural activities that take place throughout the year not least theatre productions, classical music concerts and annual art exhibition. In addition to the excellent food shops and services, the friendly town is also renowned for shops and businesses specialising in the arts, antiques and objet d'art. The surrounding countryside is accessible via an excellent network of public footpaths ideal for the Rambler and the wider area contains an array of interesting villages, towns and the Coast is only a 45 minute drive away. For the commuter the mainline rail station at Diss provides services between the Cathedral City of Norwich to the north and London's Liverpool Street Station.
