Abbey Road, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, HG5

Set on Abbey Road in Knaresborough, one of the most prestigious postcodes in North Yorkshire this stunning riverside property is a truly rare find.

Knaresborough for those of you less familiar with the town is one of the most sought-after locations to live in North Yorkshire. It has excellent schools, beautiful river walks and easy connectivity for the commuters by rail and road. The pretty market town is a throw back in time with many artisan cafes, an excellent bakery, independent eateries, numerous butchers and a weekly fresh farmers market with a wide selection including excellent fresh fish.

The beautiful stone built property is elevated above a peaceful part of the river and has parking for several cars. The property is full of character externally and the Wisteria running across the front a particular delight.

Enter into the welcoming and bright entrance hall which opens onto a large reception hall which is very grand. What strikes is the chic and calming tones the owners have carefully chosen to the floors and walls which all give a very cosy feel.

The ground floor has been used as the principle bedroom floor of the property saving the further elevated river views for the living room/kitchen and the stunning master bedroom. Very well thought out. There are three bedrooms to this floor all beautifully decorated offering a relaxing feel. One of them is very large and has an ensuite and the other two bedrooms are very good sized doubles with wardrobes built in. These are serviced by the house bathroom with tub and shower over. The rooms all have a very comfortable ceiling height with large windows allowing for plenty of natural light.

Moving up the staircase which is beautifully widened at the bottom we find the first floor which is quite honestly jaw dropping throughout. First the living room with stunning feature stone carved surround fire place with beautiful multi fuel burning stove and effective brickwork behind. There is a sumptuous carpet and plenty of space for large furniture such as the corner piece sofa in the photo reel or more traditional layouts with multiple pieces. It is stunning inside and the views outside onto the river equally beautiful and have been maximized by the long bank of windows.

The dining kitchen is the hub of the house. The kitchen boasts bespoke units with plenty of storage. It has the desirable island which everyone wants and at its heart the large multi oven/hob cream AGA which offsets the pastel shade chosen on the other units perfectly. General appliances are of high grade and in built and there is a gorgeous double size Belfast sink under the window. The floor is tiled, while the work surfaces are granite, both easy to clean down and maintain. In the dining section there is room to seat many persons for the big family get together and still ample space for relaxed seating beyond. Connected to the kitchen/dining space but neatly tucked away is a utility room and a separate WC.

From the kitchen one can access the most stunning outdoor sun terrace garden. Enjoying an enviable elevated position the sun trap terrace looks onto the river. It is so peaceful, surrounded by mature trees and much wildlife it is so relaxing and picture perfect. The terrace is also the ideal place for al fresco dining, entertaining friends and a spot of afternoon tea perhaps and of course the Summer BBQ!

Finally a short spiral staircase takes you to the large home study/office but it could equally be a games room or further reception space.

Back inside and completing this amazing floor is another incredible room, the master bedroom with balcony. There are lots of nice touches in this space, the floor where the bed sits is slightly elevated, windows are set across the full external face taking the outside in, there is a bespoke dressing room area and a beautiful ensuite with some stunning feature tile/stone work to the walls. The whole house is simply full of character and definitely needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.


Overall a real 'one off' property in a Grade A location offered in immaculate 'turn key' condition. Do enjoy the photo reel and be sure to make your enquiries and book your viewing swiftly as we anticipate strong interest in this beautiful home.
