Full property description
An exceptional self-build opportunity in a highly desirable rural setting.
A superb opportunity to design and build an individual detached family home within a generous and enviable plot, extending to approximately half an acre, located in the peaceful village of Little Thirkleby, near Thirsk.
The plot has secured outline planning permission for the construction of a four-bedroom detached dwelling, with access approved and all other matters reserved, together with a detached garage and ample driveway. There is potential to create a larger home, subject to the necessary planning consents, allowing purchasers to tailor the design to their own requirements.
Occupying a delightful position on a quiet no-through road, the plot borders open farmland and enjoys far-reaching countryside views across the Hambleton Hills towards the iconic White Horse. The setting offers a rare combination of rural tranquillity and accessibility, lying on the edge of the North York Moors National Park.
Despite its idyllic location, the plot is conveniently placed for commuters, with easy access to the A19 and A1(M) road networks. The popular market town of Thirsk is just a few miles away, providing a wide range of shops, schools, amenities and mainline rail services with direct connections to London and the north.
This is a rare chance to acquire a substantial plot in a sought-after village location and create a bespoke home in one of North Yorkshire’s most attractive countryside settings.
