Kirby Knowle, Thirsk

A stunning, recently completed refurbishment of The Old School House. As the name suggests this former village school building has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard to provide wonderful accommodation and is located in the heart of the North Yorkshire National Park.

Situated in the beautiful village of Kirby Knowle, on the borders of the North Yorkshire Moors and within the boundaries of the National Park, the village lies about 4 miles north-east of the picturesque market town of Thirsk, famous for its association with James Herriot and being, according to the Sunday Times one of the top 20 places to live in the UK.

The property itself has been fully renovated to a high specification and comprises of an entrance hall, lounge, an open plan kitchen/dining family area with access to the garden, utility and cloakroom, as well as the third bedroom with a dressing room. To the first floor is the Master bedroom with en-suite, the second bedroom and the house bathroom. Externally, a driveway with parking for numerous vehicles and freshly seeded gardens.

The prospective tenant must have links with the National Park, as there is a covenant in place - further details can be obtained upon request from Joplings.
