The Property
Eaton House is a spacious and beautifully presented town house, situated within the heart of Diss. The original house was constructed in the 1930's for the general manager of Diss Gas Works and since then has only had two owners in excess of the last 50 years. The house was renovated in 2009 and later extended in 2010 to create a wonderful family home. Improvement works, which were carried out in 2009 includes a full re-wiring, re-plumbing, replacement of all windows and the installation of a new gas fired boiler. Many original features still remain with a fabulous sweeping staircase, original wooden floors, high ceilings and fireplaces. The well proportioned hallway leads through to the rear lobby and provides access into the two reception rooms, which both have views to the front gardens, wooden floors and feature fireplaces. A downstairs study offers an additional work space or bedroom, which is adjacent to the modern cloakroom. The rear lobby benefits from under floor heating with doors leading into the well equipped utility and the marvelous kitchen/dining room. The kitchen/dining room forms the majority of the rear extension and is truly stunning. As you enter the room you will notice the light and airy accommodation owing to the vaulted ceiling, velux windows and large bi-folding doors leading out onto the patio area. The kitchen comprises a handmade painted fitted kitchen with a built in microwave, dishwasher and butlers sink. The kitchen has been designed to accommodate a range style cooker and an American fridge/freezer with plenty of space for a large dining table, in addition to the island unit. The under floor heating continues in this room and another feature you will immediately notice is the exposed brickwork to the gable end wall. The staircase leads up to the first floor landing where three double bedrooms lead off. The master bedroom has two sets of double wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom. With a window to rear and side, the en-suite comprises a large corner shower unit, his & hers wash basins, a low level wc and an oval bath. The further family bathroom has recently been refitted with a low level wc, hand wash basin and bath with shower facilities above.
