Gilcrux, Wigton4 bedroom House - Detached for sale

About this property

OWNERS' COMMENTS
“Gilcrux is a village with tremendous charm and community spirit, and we will leave with mixed feelings to see more of our family in other parts of England. We have felt more at home here than anywhere else and will miss it dreadfully. It is rare to find a small settlement with such thriving social activity through the village hall and pub, and we even have a part-time Post Office. All this will be difficult to replicate when we move.”
