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.
