Welbourne House, Burton Leonard, Near Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG3

Welbourne House occupies a private and secluded setting within a short walk of the village centre, with its appealing tree lined village green. The village is extremely well equipped with a post office/general store, public house, two village halls, a church, a popular primary school and a number of sports clubs. It is also in the catchment area for secondary schools in Ripon, notably Ripon Grammar School. Harrogate and Ripon are both within easy reach and provide a comprehensive range of everyday facilities. There is easy access to the A61 and the A1(M) making the commercial centres to the north and south within comfortable daily travelling distance. There is also a frequent bus service throughout the day to both Ripon and Harrogate.

Welbourne House is a very attractive detached property, constructed in 1980 in a classical Georgian style. In more recent years the property has been substantially altered and extended to provide exceptional family accomodation, including the ability to create a self contained annexe/granny flat within part of the ground floor. It occupies a private and discreet position, beautifully tucked away from the public view, yet is within a stone's throw of the village centre.

The accommodation is arranged over 3 floors and includes a central reception hall, 4 well proportioned reception rooms, breakfast kitchen and a utility room. The north wing has been skilfully adapted to provide additional accommodation including a living room/home office, bedroom (currently used as a gym) and a shower room. This area has its own entrance and could easily be used a teenager’s suite, annexe or granny flat. The spacious bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors – there are 5 in total, 4 have en suite bath/shower rooms and there is an additional house bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached off Scarah Lane via a gravelled drive, shared in part with a neighbouring property. A private gated entrance and drive lead down to the property where there is a double garage and ample additional parking. The superb garden lies to the front of the house and forms a particular feature, being south facing, predominately lawned and affording much privacy. To the rear is a flagged courtyard.
