Dove Cottage, Dove Lane, EYE, Suffolk, IP23 7BA

Dove Cottage was sold to the current owners via Harrison Edge in 2021 after a previous ownership dating back to the early 1990's. The new owners have transformed the property by not just internal aesthetics but major refurbishment including reroofing and raising of the rear roof line to increase headroom. Heating, wiring, plumbing, plastering etc along with new bathroom and kitchen fittings etc have created a 'turn-key' home. Reorganising of the space has also greatly enhanced the living space creating downstairs two reception rooms, entrance hall with new staircase along with a kitchen with french windows leading out to the courtyard garden. The groundfloor has also been able to provide a versatile walk-in Store/Pantry along with an enhanced cloakroom facility. Upstairs, the new staircase rises to a long central landing giving access to four bedrooms and roomy well appointed bathroom including roll top bath plus separate shower enclosure. The first floor also includes built-in storage it two of the bedrooms with scope to create more in the rear bedroom. The same attention to detail has been given to the outside with a clearing of the inherited space which now features a fine period red brick wall with copings and a 'blank' page for new owners to make use of this paved space as they wish.

To the rear the owners have cleared and opened up the garden space and laid the area with paving which is ideal for town pot gardening. An established fig tree remains and appears productive.
