Summary - Bargates House, Bargates SY13 1LN
5 bed 2 bath Town House
Spacious period townhouse with large garden, parking and recent heating upgrades — potential to improve energy efficiency.
Five bedrooms across three floors, 2,017 sq ft of accommodation
A generously proportioned five-bedroom town house marrying strong period character with recent modern upgrades. Arranged over three floors with a large top-floor principal room, the house offers flexible family living, high ceilings, traditional parquet floors, feature fireplaces and a striking stained-glass entrance that immediately communicates its historic origins (built 1786). Recent works include a new central heating system, full loft insulation, new porch and double glazing, bringing comfort while retaining original detail.
Outdoors there is off-street parking to the front and a large, well-established rear garden with vegetable patch, store and greenhouse — rare for a town-fringe location and excellent for growing families or gardeners. Practical benefits include a sizable cellar, fast broadband and mains gas heating with radiators throughout. Accommodation totals approximately 2,017 sq ft spread across seven principal rooms, two full bathrooms plus a further WC on the third floor.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property has an EPC rating of D and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may affect running costs and future retrofit work. The wider area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime statistics; buyers may want to investigate neighbourhood safety measures. Despite recent renovations, the home’s age and solid-wall construction mean further works or insulation upgrades could be needed to reach the highest energy-efficiency standards.
This house will suit families seeking generous period accommodation close to town amenities and good local schools, and buyers who value character and space over turnkey minimalism. It also offers scope for those wanting to improve energy performance or personalise finishes while benefiting from the existing modern services and strong footprint for reconfiguration if desired.
