Gilcux, Wigton, CA7

A truly individual and deceptively spacious home, this former village pub has been transformed into a fabulous three-bedroom property extending to approximately 2,045 sq ft. Brimming with character, yet beautifully suited to modern living, highlights include a spectacular open-plan living space, exposed stonework and beams, a dramatic two-storey window, mezzanine-style landing, home office, ensuite facilities, walk-in wardrobe, gardens and useful outbuilding.

Occupying a pleasant position within a popular village, the property is conveniently located just a short drive from both the market town of Cockermouth and the coastal town of Maryport.

Stepping inside, it quickly becomes apparent that this is anything but an ordinary three-bedroom home. The property's former life as a village pub has given it wonderful proportions and an abundance of character, with exposed stone walls and striking ceiling beams featuring throughout.

At the heart of the home is the exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, measuring approximately 47'5" x 14'6" at its maximum dimensions. This impressive space works brilliantly for family life and entertaining, while still offering clearly defined kitchen, dining and relaxation areas.

The stylish contemporary kitchen incorporates a large island, extensive work surfaces and integrated appliances, complemented by high-end LVT flooring which continues through the dining area. A particularly useful walk-in larder provides excellent additional storage.

The dining area enjoys plenty of natural light and direct access outside, while the substantial lounge area has recently been fitted with new carpet. Exposed beams, stonework and the sheer scale of the room create a fantastic blend of traditional character and contemporary open-plan living.

The ground floor also offers a separate home office, ideal for anyone working remotely, together with a WC and a dedicated utility room. The utility is currently unfitted but has plumbing and connections in place, allowing the new owner to install cabinetry and appliances to their own taste.

One of the home's most striking architectural features is the full-height window to the rear. Rising through two levels and looking out towards the garden, it floods the interior with natural light and creates a wonderful focal point.

Upstairs, the impressive landing has a two-tone timber and glass balustrade, creating a mezzanine-style feel and allowing the natural light from the full-height glazing to flow through the space.

There are three generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, with exposed beams, vaulted character and stonework, and is complemented by its own en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, the property continues to offer plenty of interest. There are generous garden and courtyard areas, providing space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation, together with a useful outbuilding measuring approximately 15'10" x 7'10".

The vendor is also currently undertaking works to provide off-road parking for two vehicles to the front of the property.

Offering around 2,045 sq ft of accommodation, this remarkable conversion combines the proportions and personality of its former use with everything required of a modern home. From the huge open-plan living area and home office to the principal suite, dramatic glazing and wealth of original character, it is a property that really needs to be viewed to appreciate just how much is on offer.
