Property description & features

  • 3 Bedrooms
  • Formerly two cottages
  • Semi detached
  • PVCu double glazed
  • Workshop/Store
  • Attached Store & WC
This semi detached Victorian property currently serves as a 3 bedroom dwelling but in earlier years has been two separate cottages. It looks feasible now to return it to two one bedroom investment properties for rent or, concentrate on modernising the whole as a home. No onward chain.

Location - The historic town of Eye has been described by a national newspaper as one of the top 100 Glories of Secret Britain. It 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 historic mix of architecture and interesting buildings especially when one considers the impressive properties towards the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101 feet, the renowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk) describes it as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". The Buckshorn Lane cottage is found set back in close proximity to neighbouring properties forming what might today be called a 'Court' type setting. It is a proverbial stone's throw from town centre facilities as well as the open countryside and footpaths across fields. Equally the property is only a short distance from the many shops and facilities on offer. The excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' The Handyman Stores, two butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets and chemist, complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). 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 - This property was originally Nos. 13 & 14 Buckshorn Lane and now referred to as just No.13. It has been in the same family for many decades and is now offered for sale with no onward chain. In need of modernisation and repair, these two cottages have formed a single 3 bedroom property but suggest a considered scheme could return them to two independent properties. This idea could present a long-term investment opportunity if let out once completed. Windows have been double glazed with PVCu frames but otherwise modernisation and improvement is required. To the far end of the property is a lean-to building with storage space. Furthermore, opposite sits a separate workshop/store which whilst potentially useful, could perhaps be demolished to create outside space.

Sitting Room - 17'10 x 12'2 measured to chimneybreast (5.44m x 3.71m measured to chimneybreast) - Approached via one of two PVCu outer doors within the front elevation and more natural light from two double glazed PVCu windows at the front and a further window to the rear. A former doorway, also in the front elevation has been filled with colourful glass bricks. A brick fireplace with tiled hearth and presently sealed open hearth. Stairs to the first floor accommodation.

Kitchen Dining Room - 19'6 x 12'1 (5.94m x 3.68m) - Fitted with units around three walls at the left end beyond is the lean-to separate section. Worktop extends across cupboard and drawer storage units with wall cupboards and cabinets above. 4-ring hob and eye level double oven. Single drainer sink unit with drainer bowl and mixer tap. Two PVCu windows to the front elevation in addition to one at the rear and a now internal window to the side lean-to. PVCu outer door. The chimneybreast and fireplace accommodates an early Rayburn stove, now redundant.

Lean-To Store & Wc - 11' x 7'6 Main area (3.35m x 2.29m Main area) - An initial area provides access to a WC to one side and the main area beyond.

First Floor Landing - Stairs rise to a long landing extending across the entire rear of the three bedrooms with a separate WC at the far end.

Bedroom - 9'6 x 8'9 (2.90m x 2.67m) - With fitted cupboards. PVCu window to the front elevation.

Bedroom - 9'2 x 8'8 (2.79m x 2.64m) - With PVCu window to the front elevation. Built-in cupboard.

Bedroom - 13'4 x 8'10 (4.06m x 2.69m) - With PVCu to the front elevation. Built-in airing cupboard with fortic hot water tank.

Bathroom - Fitted with a coloured suite comprising panelled bath with matching pedestal wash basin. PVCu to the front elevation.

Separate Wc - With low level wc and window.

Outside - The property has no garden to speak of only a paved area over which neighbours at No.15 have right of way to their property. Just across from the house sits a Workshop with lean-to Store. The main space measures internally 18' x 7'8 and has power and light connected along with a water supply. There is no outside space at the rear as the terrace abuts the garden of the property behind known as The Thatched House.

Services - The vendor has confirmed that the property benefits from mains water, electricity and drainage.

Wayleaves & Easements - The property is sold subject to and with all the benefit of all wayleaves, covenants, easements and rights of way whether or not disclosed in these particulars.
