This property comprises a historic period property which is Grade II listed and is believed to date back to the 1540’s. The older part of the property is of massive oak timber frame construction, a great deal of which has been exposed and offers tremendous character. Whilst much of the character as possible has been retained the twenty-first century has been subtly incorporated. There is an excellent well fitted kitchen/dining room which is well equipped, there is the use of natural wood doors and terracotta floor. There is a wood burner to the fireplace and the property has the benefit of not only a first floor bathroom but also a ground floor shower room. The property is originally believed to have been an ale house known as the Bedingfield Arms.
The situation is in the heart of Eye within the conservation area with a pleasant outlook on other period properties just off the main road through the town. Eye is a well preserved town with good facilities including shops, supermarket, hospital, schools, professional services and self sufficient on a day-to-day basis.
One particular feature is some of the original glass which is believed to have been etched with initials on it by some of the customers when the property was an ale house. The accommodation at first floor level is practical again with plenty of storage and with both bedrooms and the bathroom leading directly off the landing. The property benefits from pretty cottage gardens. There is also parking facilities. There is gas fired central heating via radiators.
