Owner's perspective - "Church Gates House sits in the heart of the village and has been in our family since the 1860’s. Our great-grandparents raised a family of 10, followed by our grandparents who raised 5 children here and who also purchased the cottage attached. We are the 4th generation to have lived in this house and have wonderful memories of family get togethers and happy times in the cosy rooms.
The large front garden was lovingly tended by our grandfather, followed by our father who won many prizes for vegetables and flowers in the village horticultural show.
Parwich is a friendly thriving community. It has an annual carnival and wakes week at the end of June which brings everyone together. There are many clubs and societies in the village along with the popular Sycamore Inn and British Legion who both provide a warm welcome to everyone.
We as a family feel very privileged to have had Church Gates House in our family for such a long time and hope the next custodians will cherish it as we have done."
