The Crescent, Thirsk, YO7

Full Description

Behind a walled and gated exterior, on one of Thirsk's most private and coveted addresses, stands this four-bedroom Victorian townhouse, one of only two double fronted homes on The Crescent. Double fronted and west-facing, the property occupies an elevated position and spans four storeys, its rooms flooded with natural light throughout the day. Character and history sit comfortably alongside a series of thoughtful updates, from a private walled courtyard garden to a beautiful Treske kitchen. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home just moments from the Market Place, in a setting that feels both central and entirely secluded.

Location

Thirsk is a market town centrally located in the Vale of York, North Yorkshire, close to the North York Moors. Known for its traditional market square and its connection to veterinary surgeon and author James Herriot, the town offers a range of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, with easy access to the Yorkshire Dales, the North Sea coast, York and Harrogate.

Despite its central position, The Crescent offers a genuinely peaceful setting, tucked behind its own walled gardens and largely hidden from the surrounding streets. The Market Place, with its shops, cafes and restaurants, is just a few minutes' walk away, while Thirsk's excellent road and rail links put York, Leeds, Newcastle and London within easy reach. Few addresses in the town offer this balance of privacy and proximity.

Education

Thirsk is served by several primary schools and Thirsk School and Sixth Form College for secondary education. Nearby private schools include Cundall Manor, Queen Mary's and Queen Ethelburga's.

Transport Links

Thirsk is well-connected by road and rail. The town lies just off the A19, close to the A1(M), with York around 25 miles to the south and Newcastle to the north. Thirsk railway station, around a mile from the town centre, is on the East Coast Main Line, with regular services to London, Edinburgh, York, Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle. Local bus services connect Thirsk to neighbouring towns and villages.
