Gilcrux, Wigton, CA7 2QD

A Beautiful Barn Conversion That's Much Bigger Than It First Appears. It stretches further than most people realise, with a generous ground floor bedroom suite, a stunning vaulted living room above and a bonus outbuilding packed with potential. It's a home that feels both impressively spacious and wonderfully homely.

This attractive stone barn conversion has a lovely sense of flow. Step through the gated courtyard into a bright entrance hall that opens into a welcoming dining space.

Next door, the kitchen keeps the homely farmhouse feel going, while a separate utility room and downstairs WC make everyday life that bit easier.

The main bedroom is on the ground floor.  It's a proper grown-up retreat - spacious, peaceful and complete with a fully tiled ensuite shower room.

Upstairs, the living room really makes the most of the barn's vaulted ceilings to create an incredible feeling of light and space, with gorgeous exposed beams, purlins and lintels adding real character.

There are also two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs - perfect for guests, older children or anyone needing space to work from home.

Outside, the garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day, with a lawn, patio and a lovely sense of privacy and tranquillity.

To the front there's parking for two or three cars, together with a substantial outbuilding offering exciting potential. It could become a workshop, studio, home office or, subject to the necessary planning permission, even a self-contained one-bedroom annexe or Airbnb.

Gilcrux has become one of those villages that's increasingly sought after. With its attractive period homes, quality newer developments and welcoming community, it offers a peaceful village lifestyle that's proving popular with commuters, professionals and those looking for somewhere quieter to enjoy retirement.
