Intro ducing Thomas Lord Drive
Contemporary living steeped in tradition
V&A Homes is delighted to unveil another landmark development in the heart of Thirsk, one of North Yorkshire’s most picturesque market towns. Thomas Lord Drive consists
of 14 bespoke properties, all within easy walking distance of some independent shops, cafés and restaurants which surround the historic market place. Situated opposite the town’s renowned racecourse, our development perfectly compliments the beautiful
landscape of Herriot country which has long made this area one of the county’s most sought-after locations.

Thirsk
Where quality of life comes first The Yorkshire district of Hambleton regularly tops the best places to live in the county - and Thirsk ably demonstarates why.
With its cobbled streets and medieval market square, historic charm is visible
everywhere. From the Ritz Cinema - believed to be one of Britain’s oldest - to the museum dedicated to its most famous son - the vet and author James Herriot
whose books introduced generations to the joys of the area - Thirsk is a place with a story to tell.
In recent years young professionals, looking for an alternative to city living, have been drawn to the town and with Thirsk boasting a number of good primary and secondary schools, including two independent schools, it is ideal for families looking to make a home in a thriving community.
The nearby racecourse has received significant investment over recent years and along with the town’s bustling arts centre, when Thirsk says its residents have everything they need on their doorstep it means it.

Gateway to the Moors and Dales
City and country on your doorstep For those looking for a contemporary home with easy access to some of Yorkshire’s most breathtaking scenery, Thirsk is the perfect location.
Nestled between the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales, the town is situated just a short drive from the famous White Horse of Kilburn. Within a 20-minute drive of both the impressive ruins of Rievaulx Abbey and the
Michelin starred Black Swan at Oldstead, there is much to explore nearby. Getting away from it all is easy, but Thirsk is one of those rare places which can truly claim to have the best of both worlds. Offering good road and rail links to the region’s main commuter hubs, with great East Coast Main Line connections to York and Northallerton, and the A1 located 8 miles to the west of the town.
Our development is less than 10 miles from the county town of
Northallerton, and Harrogate and York are less than 25 miles to the south.

My first viewing to a V&A Home made me decide that this was the developer that I wanted to buy from. Their eye for detail and quality was just what I had been looking for in a new house and hadn’t been able to find from the other larger house builders. Jackie Martin, Knaresborough.
