For Sale 2 Bed House - terraced 

Location

The historic town of Eye is blessed with an array of shops and businesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient. With schools, both Nursery, Primary and High, a Health Centre and varied social and recreational opportunities, all age groups are catered for. The town includes an impressive mix of architecture and interesting buildings especially when one considers the magnificent properties towards the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101feet, the renowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk) describes it as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". The house is found in the heart of the town on the main through road and is arguably both a landmark property and major part of this historic street scene and Conservation Area. The excellent shops include the friendly 'institution' The Handyman Stores, a butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets, chemist and many others complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). The town is a haven for walkers and dog owners having a fabulous network of footpaths around both the town and surrounding countryside. Diss is fortunate in being able to offer amongst other things an 18 Hole Golf Course and importantly a well used commuter rail service which runs between the Cathedral City of Norwich to the north and London's Liverpool Street Station.

Description

4a Castle Street for those with entrepreneurial instincts represents an excellent opportunity in a number of different ways. Currently the first floor comprises 2 bedroom apartment with ground floor street entrance door with beneath, a long established commercial space currently with A1 Business Use classification. Most recently known as a butchers shop, the space has in years gone by been a car showroom and agricultural engineers. These earlier uses no doubt are the reason for the rather wonderful sliding/concertina doors which when overhauled would open up the entire frontage. For somebody with a motoring passion or business venture in mind, this space could once again make a splendid show room. Equally, subject to Planning Permission the ground floor looks adaptable to further, separate living space or if not in total, the front section could potentially be retained as shop space and 'living' created at the rear. A walled courtyard garden space sits beyond.
