Situation

The property is in the charming and highly sought-after village of Whixley.

The village itself has a village store, pub, church and local playing fields, while Knaresborough, a short drive away, provides all of the everyday amenities required, including several supermarkets. Extensive shopping, dining and entertainment options are available in York and Harrogate. Nearby schooling includes the Green Hammerton Church of England Primary School and for secondary, King James's School in Knaresborough, as well as the independent Queen Ethelburga's College. The A1(M) is under four miles away, while the mainline station at York provides a fast and efficient service to London (two hours to London Kings Cross).
