Lych Gates is a substantial detached family home on Church Street, set within generous, landscaped gardens with a south-facing aspect and direct views over St Peter’s church. The house offers flexible accommodation across multiple reception rooms and four double bedrooms, plus a self-contained annexe currently used as a holiday let — useful for multi‑generational living or rental income.
The principal rooms are large and bright: a 5m-plus living room with windows on three sides, a formal dining room, conservatory-style reception and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room. Built features such as the decorative cast-iron fireplace and the historic oak lych gate give the property character, while modern comforts include double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators.
Practical strengths include parking for several vehicles via a private driveway and car port, extensive outdoor space with multiple patios, and a useful utility room and storage. The annexe contains a kitchen, living area, double bedroom and en-suite, opening onto its own patio — good for guests or letting.
Notable negatives are factual and practical: the property has an EPC rating of E and solid brick walls likely without insulation, so energy efficiency improvements may be needed. Council tax sits in Band G and running costs should be expected to be higher. This is a pre‑1900 house that will reward sympathetic updating rather than low‑maintenance ownership.
