1 Alder Carr Lodge, Park Lane, Eye

2 A delightful Georgian Lodge, being one of a pair to Eye Park, the impressive country house on the edge of Eye. In a commanding position above the town the property offers tremendous views across rarely seen countryside, three bedrooms, two reception rooms, conservatory, and gardens of about 0.27acres. Detached Lodge Cottage Grade II Listed 3 Bedrooms, Bath & Shower Room Sitting & Dining Rooms Conservatory Rural & 0.27 acres Location Eye Park to which Alder Carr Lodge was one of two Georgian gatehouses occupies a tremendous location on high ground above the town. Historic Eye is blessed with an array of shops and businesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient. With schools, both Nursery, Primary and High, a Health Centre and varied social and recreational opportunities, all age groups are catered for. The town includes an impressive mix of architecture and interesting buildings especially when one considers the impressive properties towards the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101 feet, the renowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk) describes it as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". From the property one can walk across the fields directly to town and enjoy superb views. The excellent shops include for example the friendly 'institution' The Handyman Stores, two butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets and chemist and many others complementing those found at neighbouring Diss (approximately 5 miles). Diss is fortunate in being able to offer amongst other things an 18 Hole Golf Course and importantly a well used commuter rail service which runs between the Cathedral City of Norwich to the north and London's Liverpool Street Station.
