5 bed link detached house for sale

The Rookery, Eye IP23

One of the larger, almost detached townhouses within Eye, offering up to 5 bedrooms along with 3 reception rooms and good ancillary space. Beautifully presented and well maintained by the current owners, this fabulous house has the added benefit of owning the gated driveway which leads to a garage*.

3 The Rookery forms the end property of an important row of period Grade II Listed properties within a most desirable and tranquil setting close to the town centre yet tucked away off the principal town roads. Extending farther back from the street than adjoining neighbours and with ownership of the adjacent double gates and driveway, this really is a special property and apart from the 'join' above the gates, is essentially a detached building. The handsome Georgian front elevation with '8 over 8' horned sash windows at ground level and '3 over 6' at first floor, also contains a part glazed traditional timber door with glazed overlight. The interior is arranged to provide three reception room areas along with an inner hall which has previously been used as a Study workspace. Beyond the splendid kitchen dining space lies a utility room, cloakroom and storage etc. The ground floor also includes a shallow cellar and useful walk-in Store. The first floor surprisingly offers up to five bedrooms if required but of course with scope for differing uses such as a dressing room or private Study. Throughout the interior period features abound to include clay pamment floors, exposed timbers, fireplaces and character doors. This beautifully presented interior is further complemented by a very pleasant garden area to the rear with the smart pea shingle drive along which a colourful planted border is set. Modern conveniences and 'touches' include gas radiator heating, stylish fitted kitchen and sumptuous bathroom including a shower enclosure. Having acquired the property via Harrison Edge in 2021 the current owners have carried out a number of important repairs and improvements. Both inside and out. Having 'dipped a toe' into Eye life following a relocation it is now time to spread their wings a little further in Suffolk.
