Description Of Property
Gillbrae Farm House was built in about 1850. Home report value £355,000. It was a working farm house till 15 years ago and is set in stunning countryside with beautiful views over the Solway Firth to the Lakeland fells of Cumbria. It has been upgraded, modernised and extended to a very high standard retaining considerable charm. As well updating all the essentials like plumbing and electrics to current standards the upgrade allowed for the installation of insulation to a standard not normally present in older houses. The entire house has been redecorated recently in mostly nuetral tones so is in walk in condition. There is still room for further development to add space and value. We have architects drawings to add a large bedroom and ensuite. We intend to leave all curtains, light fittings, fitted carpets and if required all white goods so if bought as a second or holiday home it is ready to go.
Gillbrae would make a great family home or holiday home/let.
I have listed the house as a 3 bedroom because that's how we use it at present. However the formal dining room could be used as a fourth bedroom as the kitchen is 25' long and has a six seat dining table. There are bathrooms on both floors. A traditional style sitting room with a multifuel stove. Leading from that is a brand new conservatory. A family room off the kitchen also a separate utility room and adjacent WC.
The drive-by photography on Google Earth was taken when there was extensive work being done to convert the barns nearby. This work is almost complete and the surounding area now looks really good again. If in doubt come and see the area it is truely beautiful. FOR VIEWING CALL OR FURTHER INFO. call 07903841318 or complete the contact form below. We have no time constraints so even if you have not sold your house or are just thinking about a move to the country we will still be happy to show you round. Site update 17 Jan 2012.
WE WILL PAY YOUR STAMP DUTY.

Kitchen/Dining Room
Dimensions - 7.85m(25'9") x 3.89m (12'10")
This is a really great kitchen with distinct dining and preparation areas. It has been completely refurbished within the last 18 months and while modern, has a traditional country feel. There is a Rangemaster cooker with LPG hob and electric ovens as well as a Rayburn range style cooker which also has an oven and two hotplates as well as fueling the central heating and hot water system. Hot water also has an immersion heater which can work independently. All units in the kitchen area are brand new and the units in the dining area were handmade only a few years ago. Separate from the kitchen there is very handy utility room with sink and storage units and an adjacent WC. | Family Room/SnugDimensions 3.58m(11'9") x 2.6m (8'6")
This cosy room immediately adjoins the dining area of the kitchen and also provides access to the rear courtyard garden. It is a pleasant place to enjoy a cup of coffee and has a timber surround fireplace with traditional style electric stove. An ideal place for the kids to entertain themselves while being able to keep an eye on them from the kitchen. |
Master Bathroom
Dimensions 3.28m(10'9") x 2.84m(9'4")
The master bathroom is upstairs and, in keeping with the rest of the house, was completely updated and refurbished about 3 years ago. Fitted with a high quality 4 piece suite (white, of course) which includes a roll top bath and walk in shower. The room also gets lots of natural light from two velux windows. With very little cost and effort this could be made to en-suite the master bedroom. | Guest Bathroom
Dimensions 2.72m(8'11")x1.68m(5'6")
Ground floor guest bathroom directly opposite bedroom three has 3 piece suite (again white, of course) with a roll top bath and victorian style wash hand basin. Not seen in photograph (or included in dimensions) is a large walk in shower unit with power shower and large sunflower style showerhead. |
Lounge
Dimensions 4.55m (14'11")
x 4.25m (14'0") really cosy south facing room which leads to the newly built conservatory. There is an enamelled-multi fuelled stove set in an oak fireplace with ceramic tiled surround. The coving and ceiling rose have been replaced in the victorian style. The room has traditional and spacious feel. | Conservatory

Newly built, south facing, Coservatory. Hardwood argon gas filled double glazed construction with stunning views over the countryside to the Solway Firth and the Lakeland Fells of Cumbria beyond. |
Formal Dining Room/ Fourth Bedroom
Dimensions 4.5m(14'9") x 3.94m(11'4")
This is another beautiful south facing room which we currently use as a formal dining room. However this could be easily be used as a fourth bedroom or home office/study.
Again this room has been re-instated in the Victorian style with a pine fireplace and LPG stove.
The views from this room are the same stunning views that can be seen from the conservatory.

Main Entrance Hallway and Stairs to Upper Floor
Fully carpeted corridors and handmade staircase with antique pine bannisters. Natural light to stairwell from velux windows on upper floor. Has a more spacious feel than this picture indicates due to focal length of camera.
| Rear Courtyard Garden
As well as the front lawn and garden the house has a large enclosed courtyard garden at the back where we have our greenhouse and which provides a safe area for both children and pets to run free. The courtyard catches the evening sun and is an ideal place for a barbecue or an outdoor party. For the more self sufficiently inclined there is also a large vegetable garden in raised beds at the side of the house in which we have grown some fine produce and also keep a few chickens
