St. James Green, Thirsk, YO7

St. James Green is one of Thirsk's most quietly distinguished addresses, a short walk from the Market Place, where the town feels slower and older than it does anywhere else. Number three sits on the west side of the green, double-fronted and Georgian, with sash windows that have looked out over the same view for the better part of three hundred years.

The house has been significantly upgraded by the current owners, but carefully the working fireplaces, rolling staircase and generous room proportions that define a property of this age have been preserved rather than remodelled away. What's been added is considered: a fully fitted kitchen with island and range-style cooking, a family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower, and a principal bedroom of real scale with floor-to-ceiling built-in storage.

Across five bedrooms, three bathrooms and over 3,000 sq ft, there's room to configure the house around most ways of living. A self-contained annexe, with its own kitchen, bedroom, shower room and private staircase, works as a guest suite, income opportunity or space for a dependent relative. A fully insulated garden studio with underfloor heating and running water serves equally as a home office, treatment room or gym. The enclosed courtyard garden, south-west facing and sheltered, catches the afternoon sun well into the evening; a built-in pizza oven makes the most of it.

Practicalities are well covered too. A large garage with timber barn doors and vehicular access from Bridge Street accommodates a full-sized car with room to spare, and the cellar, accessed from the garage, with power and light, provides serious additional storage. The property is offered chain free.
