Beechcroft, Pickhill, Thirsk

A superb four bedroom detached house with extensive south facing gardens and outbuildings backing onto open countryside in the sought after village of Pickhill. Converted in 1999 to create a delightful family home of around 2,500sqft, there is scope to further extend into the Tithe barn and create additional residential accommodation subject to necessary planning.

Beechcroft - Beechcroft is a delightful home that was originally a cottage and attached tithe barn.
