Summary - SYKE FARM WINNOW BARN WIGTON CA7 8AB
5 bed 4 bath Barn Conversion
Versatile five-bedroom home with paddock, workshop and sweeping country views.
Approximately 3,875 sq ft of flexible, two-storey accommodation
Set within roughly 1.72 acres of lawn, paddock and planted trees, Winnow Barn is a substantial five-bedroom barn conversion offering about 3,875 sq ft of flexible living. The open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, newly refitted in 2024, forms a generous social heart with full-height glazing, exposed sandstone and a wood-burning stove. A glazed garden room with bifold doors creates a strong indoor–outdoor connection and frames broad countryside views. The grounds include a detached commercial workshop with three-phase electricity, office and WC — useful for hobbies, storage or business use, subject to consents.
Accommodation is arranged across two floors to support single-storey living if required: ground-floor bedrooms, a snug, office and utility present practical options for multi-generational or home-working households. Upstairs the principal suite includes an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe; planning consent is already secured for a first-floor balcony to maximise the outlook. The property benefits from a broad driveway with ample parking and a landscaped garden with patio and ornamental pond.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The house is freehold and served by mains electricity and water, oil-fired central heating and a shared septic tank (typical maintenance c. £150–£250 per year). Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working unless alternative connectivity is arranged. Council Tax is Band F. The property sits in a peaceful, remote hamlet setting about one mile from Wigton town centre and offers easy road access to the A595/A596 and the Lake District National Park.
Winnow Barn will suit buyers seeking generous country living with scope for smallholding or income-generating uses from the outbuildings. It presents clear immediate comfort with recent kitchen works and versatile interior spaces, while offering further potential (balcony, landscaping, paddock use) for a purchaser wanting to personalise a sizable rural home.
