Description

Set behind a distinctive stone-and-timber lychgate and approached via a gated York-stone driveway, Lychgate Cottage is a beautifully presented period home with striking kerb appeal, parking for six or more vehicles, an impressive 64m² garage/workshop offering outstanding potential for a studio, gym, home office, business or annexe (subject to consent). Freehold and offered with no onward chain.

Work/studio/annexe/business potential (STP) — impressive 64m² workshop/garage
Secure gated parking for 6+ vehicles — York-stone driveway + lychgate entrance
Ideal for entertaining — generous rooms including a 26ft lounge with statement fireplace
Flexible family layout — 4 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
Countryside on your doorstep — close to Reddish Vale & Hyde Hall Farm

Inside, this home blends heritage detail with comfortable everyday living — exposed beams, leaded windows, handcrafted touches and excellent room proportions throughout. The principal lounge is a standout: a superb 26ft reception with a striking stone fireplace and plenty of space for both family life and entertaining. A second, split-level reception provides an ideal snug, study, work-from-home room or annexed bedroom with living space, enjoying warm character features and a peaceful feel.

The farmhouse style kitchen/diner continues the period charm with bespoke timber cabinetry, generous worktops and lots of space for a large family dining table. A modern ground-floor shower room/WC adds flexibility, while upstairs are three well-presented double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is also loft space offering further potential (subject to relevant considerations).

Garage/Workshop
The 64m² garage/workshop is a major asset — ideal for a studio, gym, home office, annexe for a dependant, or a workspace for hobbies or business use (subject to permissions). The current owners have commissioned a planning consultancy report exploring options for extension, reconfiguration and development; this can be made available to interested parties on request.

Outside
The gated driveway provides exceptional parking for six or more vehicles, complemented by a delightful English garden with lawn, stocked borders and stone-built flower beds — a lovely space for quiet mornings, family time and summer gatherings.

Location
Privately positioned at the lower end of Town Lane, you’re close to open countryside and within easy reach of Hyde Hall Farm and Reddish Vale Country Park for riverside and woodland walks, running and cycling. Everyday amenities, schools, leisure facilities and Crown Point North Retail Park are close by, with excellent bus links and swift access to the M60 motorway network.

Summary
Freehold. No onward chain. A character home with real flexibility — and a rare outbuilding opportunity — in a quiet setting with countryside on the doorstep.

There may be an opportunity to acquire the adjoining cottage by separate negotiation, should a buyer wish to create an even larger home or explore wider options.
