Sitting proudly on a fabulous elevated site you will fall in love with the far-reaching views over the glorious Cumbrian countryside, east to the Pennines and Castle Carrock Fell. The house itself is significant and offers tremendous potential for further development and improvement - subject to planning. 

Turning onto the private road shortly after the village of Great Corby is a treat in itself.

A long private driveway sweeps down to the property which has it to own private entrance.

As you drive down to Gin Case Barn, the views are superb and give you a real taste of what is on offer.

You enter the property almost through a side door which potentially looks like an anticlimax, however, the character and charm is almost immediate as soon as you open the door.

The current owner painstakingly developed this adorable property some years ago and is now reluctantly selling. 

From the vestibule/hall, there is a handy WC off to the right and off to the left is a practical utility space.

Straight ahead, you enter the main hallway of the property. This is a superb part of the property.

From here, to the left you have the nicely proportioned kitchen. This looks out onto a shared courtyard area.

Straight ahead from the hallway, you have a gorgeous reception room or sitting room, filled with character and charm. This room makes a cosy escape from the world place, and you can imagine hunkering down here in the winter months. This room acts as a central hub.

Off this reception room to the right you enter the beautiful principal reception room with its incredible wooden beams and circular ceiling.

The several windows in this room enable you to enjoy the garden and the views.

From the sitting room, a door leads straight ahead into a large studio which could be used for a variety of uses including the possible conversion to an annexe. 

A beautiful corner section in this room gives you a wonderful double aspect outlook.

Stairs lead up from the hallway to a lovely first floor landing, which leads to all four bedrooms. All bedrooms have their own individuality and quirkiness.

The main bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and a lovely feature window where you can sit with a book and enjoy the garden and surroundings.

There is also a family bathroom.

The inside of Gin Case Barn is quite something and you will not be disappointed with the outside either.

Gates lead to a private driveway where there is a detached double garage with storage area to the rear.

The gardens which occupy the south eastern flank of the property are superb and offer wonderful views towards the Pennines.

Certainly one not to be missed.

Location:

Great Corby is notable for Corby Castle, a historic home of the Howard family on the south-western edge of the village, overlooking the river. The village itself is picturesque and has a great community feel, a large play park, football pitches, a village hall and a primary school. 

Great Corby also has it's own cricket club.

Village life is centred around a pretty green & the delightful local pub, The Queen Inn - perfect for a thirst quencher and a meal.

A few minutes drive, with the River Eden meandering beautifully to your left, brings you to Warwick Bridge with all the amenities you need: Doctors surgery, Co-op, highly regarded local butchers, Sally's Tea Room...the list goes on!

From Great Corby, you can cross the stunning viaduct into Wetheral, another beautiful village to explore and with a wealth of amenities and a train station.

One of the brilliant features about life at Gin Case Barn is, despite feeling that you are away from it all, tucked away and private, you are so accessible being only five miles or so from J43 of the M6 and Historic Carlisle.
