The Development
Framed by the sweeping Solway coast and rolling Cumbrian hills, Chapel Farm Close is an exclusive collection of sixteen homes in the heart of Gilcrux.

Thoughtfully woven into the character of the village, this brand-new development combines traditional charm with a contemporary edge to create homes that feel both timeless and quietly new. With open skies above and green horizons all around, it offers a calm that is rare and impossible to forget.

Here, life unfolds gently as sunsets linger over the hills, the landscape shifts with the colours of each season, and village living brings a sense of belonging. This is a place to slow down, savour the everyday, and embrace the life you have always imagined.

The Area
Cradled by rolling countryside beneath vast, open skies, Gilcrux is a village of calm and timeless character. Just 140 homes trace quiet, winding lanes beneath the ancient gaze of St Mary’s Church, while a cosy pub, village hall, and green quietly anchor a welcoming community of friendly faces. It’s the kind of place where neighbours know each other, and local gatherings and traditions bring people together through the seasons.

Peaceful and untouched, life here moves at an easy pace, with birdsong drifting on the breeze and country walks winding along flower-lined hedgerows. Beyond the lanes, distant views shimmer toward the Solway Coast, and the landscape opens endlessly in every direction, enfolding each home in the gentle sweep of the countryside. And while it feels wonderfully tucked away, the world beyond the village is never far.
