5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Applewood is a notable Eye property, providing 5 double bedrooms, good reception room and ancillary space within a plot of just under two thirds of an acre. The private, elevated position offers tremendous gardens, good vehicular access and is a pleasant walk from the town centre. Applewood is one of a relatively small number of 'notable' modern houses within the town and occupies a fine position at the entry to Castleton Way. Believed to have been built in the early 1970's, this individual house provides extensive living space and lies with a plot of 0.61 acres (0.25 hectares). Internally, the house is arranged to provide an L'shaped lounge and dining room combination plus conservatory and study. A generous kitchen space is further served by a large utility room beyond. The first floor offers five bedrooms, en suite shower room, separate shower room and spacious bathroom. All bedrooms have built in storage including a notable walk-in wardrobe. Gas fired radiator heating, and PVCu double glazed windows. The present owners, having purchased via Harrison Edge in 2014, have carried out an extensive range of improvements not least installing a splendid fitted kitchen and bathroom fittings throughout, replacement of floor coverings including Karndean type flooring and of course much detailing of the outstanding garden.LocationThe historic town of Eye 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 impressive mix of architecture and interesting buildings and is especially well known for the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101feet, the renowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk) describes it as one of the wonders of Suffolk. The house is a short walk from Broad Street and commercial centre of the town and Castle Street that winds around the remains of the motte & bailey castle, passing the church and 16th century Guildhall along the way. The excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' that is The Handyman Stores and also two butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets and chemist, complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). Diss offers 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. This statement house is set within an attractive setting, towards Lambseth Street and Victoria Hill, featuring a backdrop of trees and the grounds to Chandos Lodge to the south. Occupying an elevated position, much of any passing traffic is below the hedge line adding to the overall privacy.DirectionFrom the town centre, proceed past the Town Hall turning left at the end of the famous serpentine wall into Castleton Way.
