Skeldale House is an impressive, extended, four bedroom detached property on a corner plot at the entrance to a cul-de-sac, in a popular residential location within walking distance of Thirsk town centre. The property has been owned by the same family since it was built 37 years ago, and has been extended to provide around 1,480 sq ft (137 sq m) of accommodation over two floors.
