"PRIVATELY LOCATED AT THE END OF A TRACK just off the centre of Gilcrux is this delightful and very charming five bedroomed detached home. Originally built as three cottages circa 1700 it was more recently converted and developed into a gorgeous and very comfortable home and has been loved by the present family for a number of years. There s a perfect blend of old and new with both ground and first floor bedrooms and living space.
The large informal gardens surrounding the house create a serene outdoor retreat, ideal for enjoying the peace of the area, yet it s within a stones throw of the village hall and pub, both of which are instrumental in creating a great sense of community within the village. From the front the views are extensive and west facing and we re led to believe that the sunsets are a delight!
Within the property itself is the potential for upgrading allowing new owners to personalise and enhance their living space to suit their tastes. This home is not just a residence; it is an opportunity to create a cherished family haven in a picturesque setting. If you are looking for a property that combines historical charm with modern possibilities, this gorgeous house in Gilcrux is certainly worth considering.
