Sowerby General

The village of Sowerby links with Thirsk, but retains its own identity and is set in the heart of 'Herriot country', gateway to the Yorkshire Dales National Park to the west and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park to the east. Thirsk is also the Darrowby of the late 'James Herriot' (Alf Wight), famous vet and author. On Front Street, which is the main road through the village, an avenue lined with trees, are an old timbered house and the historical village church, and over Cod Beck at the southern end is an old pack horse bridge. Local facilities include the reputable Fantino's restaurant, a public house and a nursing home. There are three schools in Sowerby -Thirsk School on Topcliffe Road, and also a primary school and church of England primary school located on Green Lane East. The village is within easy access of the A19/A168 for commuting both north to Teesside and south to York.

The gardens offer excellent space for the enjoyment of young families though, with slight redesign, can offer a lower level of maintenance if preferred. Currently the garden has a large lawn area, established herbaceous and flowering bedsa and a fenced section for a child's play area. The presentation of the gardens are enjoyed by the elevated seating area. With a high brick wall surround encapsulating the gardens and views towards Sutton Bank to the rear, this private garden also boasts a further area for parking with outbuildings which is separate as to not spoil the overall presentation of grounds.

Parking And Outbuildings

Having the rare opportunity to park off road in this area, Milestone House has overcome this by having a large gravel parking area which is accessed via a remote control cantilever gate allowing the residents to drive into the grounds. This is a quite a commodity for Front Street as parking is limited. There are also two outbuildings that may offer a solution for those that require additional storage or workshop/hobby room. They do have power and light available.
