Living in Thornton, honestly
Thornton has real character: the old village core around Market Street, the viaduct, and open fields in almost every direction. It draws buyers who want village life without Ilkley prices, and it rewards them.
Stock ranges from characterful cottages and terraces to modern family detacheds on the newer developments. I sell here regularly and viewings consistently comment on how much home you get for the money.
