The Property
Tucked away in a quiet position in the centre of Eye you will find this charming barn conversion which was converted in circa 2000. The building was originally stores & outbuildings for the neighbouring town shop and was made redundant when the shop closed prior to the millennium. The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout with large, bright rooms arranged over two floors and offering extensive adaptability in their use and function; making it ideal for both family living, a holiday let or dual occupancy.
The principal reception room is on the ground floor and retains much of their original character including exposed beams, a bespoke stained glass window, vaulted ceiling and large French doors opening onto the pretty gardens making it ideal for family living or entertaining. Despite being a large, vaulted space the sitting room is surprisingly cozy with wood effect flooring and a striking wood burning stove. The fabulous open plan kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a range of fitted units, space for appliances and houses the staircase leading up to the master bedroom. All three bedrooms are good size doubles, with one on the ground floor and the two further bedrooms both have their own private staircases. Both first floor rooms have wide panoramic windows which allow light to flood into the bedrooms. The master benefits further from an en-suite cloakroom and built in wardrobe. Back down onto the ground floor and you will find the family bathroom which has a modern three piece suite, with shower over the bath, surrounded by tiled splash backs and wood paneling to the perimeters.
Outside
The house is well screened and stands within beautifully planted established courtyard gardens which lie to the North & South East of the barn. Although the courtyard gardens are modest in size, they offer a private oasis from town centre living and are relatively low maintenance. The gardens are split into four areas with two brickweave enclosed courtyards, an open entrance courtyard and a parking/storage area which provides parking for one vehicle.
