Nether Lypiatt

Built in 1698 by Judge John Coxe, a notorious hanging judge. Coxe's son hanged himself in one of the rooms; his ghost is rumoured to haunt the house.

 

The Judge's treasured stallion and blacksmith are also claimed to have been seen rushing through the main gates to the grounds as the anniversary of their deaths approaches around January each year.

 

The Kents managed to knock the previous owners down to £300k when they bought it due to the supernatural residents. The small house forms a perfect square of side 46 feet, with sash windows, tall chimneys, hipped roofs and gate piers and railings.
