Glebe Cottage, Thirsk

The Appeal of our Home - The Owners Insight
We have loved having so much space out in the countryside at Glebe Cottage. In the spring you can hear new lambs from the garden, in summer skylarks and swallows, in autumn curlews, and then in winter you can cosy up in front of the fire and have all the family round for Christmas. We are really proud to have a Gold Award from North Yorkshire Wildlife Trust for being a wildlife friendly garden. I travel across North Yorkshire and the North East for work, and to the south for family connections and the travel links are excellent, both for road and rail.
Having a legacy property is always a privilege. Glebe Cottage was originally built as an income for the Vicar living in the house opposite. The house has been much extended and the village has grown around these properties on Main Street. We love the fact our rear gate goes out onto Back Lane (and Dishforth Primary School) and is very handy for dog walks on the old Dishforth Airfield.
It’s been a great house to raise our family, as it has for generations before us. We have enjoyed indulging our love of modern ‘Arts and Crafts’ inspired décor and starting an orchard hedge! With Glebe Cottage, each owner is a custodian who gets to leave their mark in history.
