Castle Street, Eye, IP23 7AW

This remarkable townhouse has quite possibly the widest frontage on Castle Street which not only enables a sizeable garden but also gated off street parking. Whilst technically semidetached, No.29 is in fact two thirds of this Edwardian red brick building and presents a handsome double fronted elevation to the street. Internally, a classic central hallway with stairs has reception rooms either side with to the rear a full width kitchen breakfast room before single storey further space extends to one side. Upstairs, the central landing serves three bedrooms along with shower room; one of the principal rooms having a splendid bathroom en suite. The current owner, having purchased the property following works by the previous owner, has spent much of the past two years since undoing, renewing, replacing and enhancing the building both inside and out to create the special house we see today. The creation of the spectacular interior will not have been quick, easy or cheap to execute but has certainly created a home of great personality. Most recently (October 2024) some final works have included replacement of soffits and fascias and replacing of gutters of a more appropriate size. Gas radiator heating is installed throughout along with double glazing incorporated, rewiring, replumbing, reroofing etc.

Entrance Hall
A panelled outer entrance door opens to a classic straight through hallway with staircase to one side complete with integrated storage beneath and shoe bench beyond. Panelled doors lead off either side to two very well proportioned reception rooms. A geometric pattern tiled floor carries on through to the rear. Both the ground and first floors are notable for their height providing volume as well as square footage.

Gardens & Grounds
Vehicular access leads off Castle Street through heavy electric double gates to a parking area capable of taking at least two cars. A pedestrian garden gate leads off the street closer to the house.

Of particular note is an Iroko 'Moon Gate' leading to and from the parking area and situated in line with the kitchen sink window.
