Located on the north Suffolk borders, this property enjoys a picturesque rural setting surrounded by undulating countryside. Situated south of the town, it is just a few minutes' drive to the town centre. Accessed off Hoxne Road, the property offers a private setting with a long sweeping driveway lined with established trees, including stunning oak trees dating back 200 to 300 years. Eye, an historic market town on the northern Suffolk border, is surrounded by the picturesque countryside of the Waveney Valley. Offering a diverse range of day-to-day conveniences, Eye is located just 4 miles south of Diss. Diss provides a wider array of amenities and facilities, including a mainline railway station with regular services to London Liverpool Street and Norwich. Easy access to the A140 makes commuting a breeze, with Norwich approximately 27 miles to the north and Ipswich 25 miles to the south.
The cottage, believed to be around 500 years old, is of massive oak timber frame construction with colour-washed rendered elevations under a thatched roof. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,600 sq ft, showcasing much of its original charm. The property offers versatile accommodation with flexible living space on the ground floor, suitable for dual living arrangements, if required.
The grounds cover approximately 10 acres and consist mainly of various grassland areas. Boundaries are defined by established tree and hedge lines, providing ample cover for wildlife. The property features a variety of outbuildings, including two large buildings measuring 5.37m x 9.82m and 8.09m x 10.30m, for which the current vendor has consulted a local architect to draw up plans for residential conversion (plans not yet submitted to the planning department). Additionally, there are stables equipped with a range of loose boxes and a tack room.
