2 bedroom retirement property

A rare Eye opportunity to acquire a well planned 2 bedroom GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT with off road parking and secure storage building. Owned since new, the well presented accommodation is light and spacious due to ample window openings and good proportioned rooms including hallway & bathroom.

Location - With the Wellington Road address, this property forms part of the Bennett Homes development known as Maltsters Yard and latterly titled Old Brew House Court for those further within the development. Set towards the Church Street end of Wellington Road. No. 27a forms the ground floor section of the detached building comprising its matching example above. Together the two apartments present an attractive detached house appearance to the road. This quiet position with little passing traffic is within easy reach of the town centre shops and facilities enabling a life at the heart of the community. The historic town of Eye features many points of architectural interest from a history dating back to before Norman times, and the fine Parish Church with a tower of over 100 feet described by the renowned Architectural Historian Niklaus Pevsner as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". Furthermore, the ruin of the motte and bailey castle can be seen from many parts of the town along with the church. In addition to the shops, Eye is renowned for the varied cultural activities taking place throughout the year not least theatre productions, classical music concerts and annual art exhibition plus the events at The Bank Arts Centre. The surrounding countryside is accessible via an excellent network of public footpaths ideal for the Rambler and dog walker with the wider area containing an array of interesting villages and towns. Eye is part of the Welcome Walkers scheme. 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.
