About this listing
Description Set on the peaceful outskirts of the charming village of Rowney Green, along a quiet country lane, Lychgate is an exceptional family home occupying an impressively wide plot that affords both privacy and a wonderful sense of space. The property is approached via a generous in-and-out driveway, with one entrance framed by a picturesque lych gate from which the home takes its name. The immaculately maintained frontage is beautifully landscaped, set alongside this peaceful country lane, and features a magnificent mature oak tree, manicured beech hedging, and neatly tended gardens, all combining to create a striking and memorable first impression. Stone steps lead to an attractive composite entrance door, opening into an enclosed porch rich in character with exposed brickwork and Karndean flooring. A further oak door welcomes you into a superb reception hall—light-filled, spacious, and immediately inviting. The open oak staircase with glass balustrading forms a striking architectural feature, naturally guiding the eye through the home towards the breathtaking countryside views beyond. The principal living room is a refined and elegant space, thoughtfully designed for both comfort and style. Beautiful plaster detailing and a picture rail enhance the room’s character, while a magnificent limestone fireplace with inset wood-burning stove provides a warm and inviting focal point. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light and perfectly frame the surrounding landscape, with views across the adjoining paddock—adorned with seasonal daffodils and a mixture of native English trees. Positioned opposite, the dining room offers a wonderfully versatile setting, ideal for both formal occasions and relaxed family gatherings. A large picture window overlooks the front aspect, while bi-fold doors to the rear open seamlessly into the orangery, creating an effortless flow across the ground floor. This adaptable space lends itself equally well as an additional reception room, particularly during the summer months or when entertaining on a larger scale. Steps down lead into a delightful snug, also enjoying those fabulous views and creating either a cosy space or an overflow from the space above. Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen and orangery—an outstanding space designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The bespoke, hand-crafted Neptune kitchen is beautifully appointed in a soft “limestone” palette, complemented by luxurious travertine flooring and elegant solid marble work surfaces. A comprehensive range of high-end appliances includes double Villeroy & Boch Belfast sinks, a Miele wine cooler and dishwasher, an integrated fridge freezer, and a striking four-oven AGA with three hotplates, forming a true centrepiece. The adjoining orangery is an exceptional space, beautifully designed to maximise both light and comfort. Two expansive roof lanterns, complete with integrated LED lighting, flood the room with natural light by day while creating a warm and atmospheric setting into the evening, further enhanced by the luxury of underfloor heating. A set of sleek bi-folding doors opens the entire space to the outside, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living and framing breathtaking, far-reaching views across the paddocks and rolling countryside beyond. This is a truly impressive setting—perfect for both relaxed family living and elegant entertaining alike. Leading from the kitchen is a highly functional and generously proportioned utility, boot room, and secondary kitchen—ideal for busy family life or additional catering requirements. This well-equipped space features a Neff double oven, induction hob, and ample room for further refrigeration, alongside dedicated laundry facilities including space for a washer and dryer and a traditional Victorian pulley maid. With access to both the front and rear of the property, this area is perfectly suited for day-to-day practicality, while a conveniently located cloakroom also houses one of the two Worcester boilers. Completing the ground floor is an integrated double garage, accessed internally and fitted with electric roller doors.

Dual-aspect windows once again capture the stunning countryside views, creating a beautifully tranquil setting.

Here, three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The guest bedroom to the front is particularly appealing, enjoying two large picture windows that perfectly frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape.
