Combining a rare blend of convenience and privacy, Willowfields House is the perfect location for the discerning family seeking ease of access to the County's major commercial centres whilst retaining links with the friendly community in the nearby historic village of Monk Fryston.

As well as enjoying a secluded setting, Willowfields House is only a short drive from Monk Fryston and a wider range of amenities in Sherburn in Elmet and Selby with the major commercial centres of Yorkshire and Humberside easily accessed via the A1/M1 and M62 motorway network.
