Fir Tree Farm, High Street, Whixley, York YO26 8AW

A beautiful village home which has been the subject of extensive reconfiguration and extension offering splendid family sized accommodation in the centre of the popular village of Whixley.

Situation And Amenities - Whixley is an historic village located to the east of the A1, equidistant between Harrogate and York, with a thriving community spirit and a good range of day-to-day amenities including a village shop, church, village hall, public house with restaurant and park. Nearby Knaresborough and Boroughbridge both offer a wider range of facilities, while the historic spa town of Harrogate and the cathedral city of York provide more extensive shopping, recreational and leisure facilities. Communications links are excellent: the nearby A1(M) ensures easy access to both the north and south of the country and the national motorway network, as do the excellent links from Cattal train station which offers regular services to Harrogate, York, Leeds, and central London.
The area offers a wide range of schools for children of all ages both in the public and private sectors, with Kirk Hammerton primary school Queen Ethelburga’s College a few minutes drive.

The Appeal Of Our Home - The Vendors Insight - We love the age and character of the home. The open fires, wooden beams, big Georgian windows and high ceilings. Whixley is a quiet village with lovely country dog walks and yet it is only a minute from the A59 and the close links to the A1. Cattal station is so convenient being a minutes drive down the road. The house is lovely at Christmas and very atmospheric. The new kitchen has made family life much easier as its so functional and has created much more space and a fantastic entertaining area.
