Gillgrass House, Wellington, CA20

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Gillgrass House, Wellington, an impressive country house set in 2.25 acres, with well-maintained gardens and approx. 2 acres of amenity land. If panoramic views of both fells and coast are your thing then this property is for you!

The ground floor creates a seamless living experience with a grand drawing room with exposed beams, fireplace and patio doors, fit for entertaining family and friends, a cosy lounge with a log burner and views of the Irish Sea and the Cumbrian fells, plus a large country style kitchen complete with a free-standing stove and views of the surrounding area, utility hallway and useful downstairs WC. Ascend to the first floor to encounter 3 inviting bedrooms, one partnered with an ensuite boasting a bath with overhead shower, and a further house bathroom with bath and overhead shower.

Beautifully presented throughout, the main residence has been thoughtfully updated to an exceptional standard, combining modern comfort with timeless character. Light-filled living spaces, quality finishes, and tasteful décor create an inviting and refined atmosphere, ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining. At the heart of the property, a discreet internal doorway opens into the original, untouched part of the house (coloured grey on the floorplan)– a rare and captivating treasure that has remained preserved through time. Here, the charm of bygone days is palpable, with period details, historic proportions, and authentic materials evoking a deep sense of heritage. This unique connection between the two wings offers the perfect opportunity for the new owner to create a stunning contrast of styles, to sympathetically restore the older rooms, or to simply enjoy them as a piece of living history woven into the fabric of a modern home.

Gillgrass House benefits from split-level lawned areas at the front and rear, a sweeping patio around the house and a rockery style garden accessible from the patio doors in the drawing room. There is an ascending driveway, giving access to a private parking area and outbuildings. Access to the orchard can also be found here. Please see sale plan for approximate location(s).
