Tucked away lies this generous detached individual town property providing a mix of ground and first floor bedrooms, along with excellent day space. Attractively designed, incorporating red brickwork, knapped flint panels and off road parking, Flint Lodge is a rare opportunity, and has no onward chain.

Location - Flint Lodge occupies a discreet position set back and hardly visible from the road, just off Lowgate Street and Orchard Close. The shops and facilities are a relatively short walk uphill via Lowgate Street but then in Eye, nothing is very far away. The town layout owes much to the motte and bailey castle which enabled Castle Street and Church Street to evolve. From Hayward Close one can approach the town in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction taking in many of the town's interesting period buildings including the fine parish church which Nicklaus Pevsner in his work The Buildings of England describes as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". This historic town is blessed with an array of shops and businesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient and was voted one of the 10 best places to live in Britain. Eye is extremely well served by day to day amenities and is renowned for the varied cultural activities that take place throughout the year not least theatre productions, up to date films, classical music concerts and annual art exhibition. In addition to the excellent food shops and services, the friendly town is also renowned for antiques and objets d'art. The surrounding countryside is accessible via an excellent network of public footpaths which start just beyond Hayward Close making the area ideal for the rambler and dog owner.

Beyond lies a good sized Summer House positioned to one side, angled towards the property and with a good outlook across the garden to the terrace. Power and light are connected making a useful hobby space in addition to being a good spot to sit enjoying the position.
