Otley Road, Harrogate

A rare opportunity to acquire this absolutely stunning detached, Victorian villa, superbly located adjacent to and overlooking Harrogate’s famous 200 acre Stray. The stone built property boasts a host of original features and perhaps uniquely for this location, has a large private rear garden, double garage and ample secure parking. The property is currently arranged as three separate leasehold apartments, all let on assured short hold tenancies and with gas central heating and main utility connections. The freehold for all three apartments is included in the asking price.

The property therefore offers the discerning purchaser a variety of opportunities, either retain the residential investments and the three self-contained apartments, or convert the property into a magnificent single detached family residence subject to obtaining vacant possession. There would also be a further option to retain one apartment, perhaps for dependent relative accommodation, or to retain part investment income.

To the front of the property are parking bays and a small lawned garden with central path to the front door. The rear garden is a particular feature with a well screened area, laid mainly to lawn, patio and terrace with additional parking and access to a sizeable double garage which could, if desired and subject to the relevant planning consent, be further developed.

Harrogate town centre is a pleasant walk across the stray, or via West Park which is renowned for its selection of quality independent retailers, hospitality venues and coffee shops. The town centre is within half a mile thus providing access to the main Harrogate railway station with direct mainline trains to London Kings Cross. The main Leeds Road is just off the Prince of Wales roundabout, providing commuter access to Leeds city centre which is 16 miles away and Leeds Bradford Airport (12 miles.) Harrogate is renowned for its quality of life and beautiful architecture, as well as independent shops, bars and restaurants including the famous Betty’s cafés located within the town centre and just off Otley Road, at Harlow Carr Gardens.

The beautiful Yorkshire countryside is readily accessible and there is a wealth of sporting opportunities including private golf courses, sports clubs and gymnasiums, rugby, cricket, football clubs, padel courts and tennis.

There is excellent local schooling close at hand including Harrogate Grammar School, Ashville College, St Aidans High School and a selection of renowned junior schools.
