Gilcrux, Wigton, CA7 2QD

A Beautiful Barn Conversion That Feels Both Huge And Homely. There’s real space to stretch out here - with a big ground floor bedroom suite, a spacious vaulted living room above and a bonus outbuilding you could turn into something brilliant.

This stone barn conversion has a lovely sense of flow. The gated courtyard entrance leads into a bright hallway and open dining space.

Next door, the kitchen keeps the homely farmhouse feel going and there’s a separate utility room plus a downstairs WC to keep life practical.

The main bedroom is on the ground floor so it’s perfect if you aren’t great with stairs. 

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 a feeling of light and space, with gorgeous exposed beams, purlins and lintels bringing the charm.

There are two smaller double bedrooms and a family bathroom up here too - ideal if you’ve got guests, older kids or need the space to work from home.

Outside, the garden gets sun all day. There’s a lawn and patio and a real sense of privacy and calm. 

At the front, there’s room to park two or three cars along with an outbuilding with loads of potential. It could be a workshop, studio or even converted into a one-bed self contained annexe for granny or Airbnb guests (subject to planning permission, of course). 

Gilcrux is the kind of quiet rural village people quietly keep an eye on - with a pub, a church, an active comminity centre, and a friendly feel that makes it easy to settle in.

It takes less than 15 minutes to drive to the Solway Coast or Bassenthwaite Lake and only 10 minutes to reach Aspatria or Cockermouth for your day to day needs.

Whether you're upsizing, downsizing or just ready for something a little bit different, this barn conversion could be The One. And with no forward chain, you can get moving as soon as you’re ready.
