A superb detached family home, situated in the lovely village of Knayton, just off the A19. This well presented property has flexible accommodation set in wonderful gardens. Benefitting from double glazing and having oil central heating. The property has two good sized reception rooms, a small office and a further reception room off the kitchen. The kitchen is only 18 months old and is a very modern light grey high gloss. There is a huge utility room with loads of storage too and a ground floor shower room. Four bedrooms upstairs with a very nice four piece bathroom suite. The rear garden is delightful with mature borders, large pond, neat lawn and ample patio with a motorised awning, plus it overlooks a small paddock currently with a few sheep in it. To the front is a small garden, driveway for guest parking for several vehicles and a double garage. It's hard to think of a better located market town than Thirsk, nestling in the Vale of York, with the hills of the Dales and North York Moors looming in the distance. The town is smart and confident with a lovely mix of Georgian and medieval buildings, clustering around a thriving market square. Tourism is important (vet Alf Wight, aka James Herriot, had his practice here, luring visitors from across the globe), but it never seems to overwhelm the town. There is the added advantage of Thirsk Racecourse being more or less on the doorstep, providing a wonderful day out. The nearby A19 and A1 will speed you to Leeds or Newcastle in about one hour, whilst York and Harrogate are 40 minutes to the south. Grand Central offers direct rail services to London (2.5 hours) whilst Trans-Pennine connects Thirsk with all the major northern cities. Knayton is a particularly fine village situated just a few miles north of Thirsk and just off the A19, making it the perfect commuter village whilst being remote enough to give the impression of rural living.
