[email protected] www.clarkeandsimpson.co.uk Location Southdene is located in the centre of the popular village of Eyke, an attractive village benefitting from a well supported primary school, village shop and public house, The Elephant and Castle. Eyke is well located for the popular and historic market town of Woodbridge, some 4 miles to the south-west, and also for the Heritage Coast, with the popular centres of Orford, , and all within easy reach. Eyke also borders onto Forest, which can be accessed directly from Church Lane, a short walk from the property. As well as offering excellent secondary schooling, with Farlingaye High School, Woodbridge also has excellent shopping, business and recreational facilities and has a mainline rail station with direct services to London’s Liverpool Street. There is also a railway station at nearby .

Description Southdene is believed to date from the late 1800s and was previously a cobblers shop. It has been in the same family for three generations. Mostly of brick construction, with part rendered elevations, the house is very spacious with three double bedrooms on the first floor, together with an attractive split level sitting room and dining room on the ground floor. The conservatory at the rear overlooks the very attractive garden.

The house would now benefit from some updating and refurbishment to bring it up to modern day standards. There is also scope for extension above the kitchen, subject to the necessary consents. Interested parties should also note that there is no official parking at the property, although there are two lay-bys close by.
