Set within the Howardian Hills and inside the North York Moors national park, Hillcrest Cottage is a new-build semi-detached home proposed for completion in November 2025. The scheme offers high-specification finishes, rural privacy and easy access to village amenities and notable dining, while retaining an attractive hamlet setting.
The house provides flexible accommodation configured as two or three bedrooms with two bathrooms, suitable for families or countryside commuters. Standout benefits include a decent plot size, excellent mobile signal, very low local crime and straightforward freehold tenure. The nearest mainline rail link is around eight miles away (Thirsk), with York approximately 18 miles and direct services to London from the nearby stations.
Buyers should note this is an off-plan purchase: completion is scheduled for November 2025 and internal photos are promotional. Broadband speeds are average for the area and the location is relatively remote, which may affect daily commutes and access to some services. Local schooling includes a mix of independent and state options, and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes.
Overall this is a modern rural home for buyers seeking country living with quality specification and future maintenance limited by new construction. It will particularly suit families or buyers prioritising village character, nearby country pursuits and fine local dining, provided they accept the off-plan timeline and rural travel considerations.
