Description

This distinctive barn conversion offers a unique blend of spacious living and renovation potential. With three bedrooms, the property features a generous ground floor bedroom suite that enhances accessibility and convenience. The vaulted living room upstairs is a standout, boasting impressive ceiling heights and exposed beams that evoke the barn's original character. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a gated courtyard leading into a bright hallway and open dining area, setting the tone for a home filled with natural light. The kitchen maintains a traditional farmhouse charm and includes a separate utility room along with a downstairs WC, ensuring practicality for everyday living. The primary bedroom on the ground floor provides an ideal retreat, featuring an ensuite shower room that adds to its appeal. Upstairs, alongside the expansive living area, there are two additional double bedrooms and a family bathroom—perfectly suited for guests or as home office spaces. Outside, the garden benefits from full sun exposure throughout the day, complete with both lawn and patio areas that offer tranquility and privacy. In addition to ample parking for two to three vehicles at the front of the property, there’s an outbuilding that presents various possibilities for transformation; it could serve as a workshop or studio, or potentially be converted into a self-contained annexe for guests or rental purposes (subject to planning approval). Situated in the quiet village of Gilcrux, this property enjoys access to local amenities including a pub, church, and community center. The attractive rural setting is complemented by proximity to outdoor recreational opportunities at nearby Solway Coast or Bassenthwaite Lake—both less than 15 minutes away—and easy access to larger towns like Aspatria and Cockermouth for daily needs. This barn conversion stands as an appealing option whether you’re looking to upsize, downsize or invest in a property ripe with renovation possibilities. With no forward chain in place, you can move quickly when you’re ready to make it your own.
