Hoxne Road, Eye, IP23

Situation
The charming town of Eye boasts a wide range of shops and businesses, providing residents with everything they need right on their doorstep. From schools to healthcare facilities to numerous social and recreational opportunities, there's something for everyone, regardless of age. The town's architectural beauty is truly impressive, particularly when you consider the stunning properties surrounding the historic Church. The cottage is conveniently located just a short distance from town, tucked away in a private setting, access via a private, unpaved track that also serves neighbouring properties, with picturesque meadowland beyond that's designated as a Special Landscape Area. These dwellings have a rich history, dating back to the 1880s when they were originally built as a "Rettery" for processing flax into linen for Sir Edward Kerrison's textile factory.

The town's selection of shops is excellent, with notable highlights including the beloved Handyman Stores, two butchers, bakers, a delightful deli, two supermarkets, and a chemist. Whilst the nearby town of Diss (roughly 6 miles away) offers a larger range of amenities alongside a well-utilized commuter rail service that conveniently connects the vibrant Cathedral City of Norwich to the north with London's bustling Liverpool Street Station.
