Victoria Avenue, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG1

A substantial and light filled family home with garden and garage in a prime High Harrogate location.

Located in a smart terrace of Victorian houses, this stunning home on a tree lined street offers easy, gradient free access to the amenities of Harrogate town centre, from a thriving shopping area, nightlife and independent cafes, spas, cinema and theatre.

Ground Floor

A wrought iron gate opens into a small courtyard, leading to the front door of the property. Continuing inside, there is a useful entrance vestibule, and a further door opens into a tiled hallway.

To the left hand side, is a formal reception room with focal open fireplace and large bay window. The character features of the house feature prominently throughout, from coving, detailed architrave and picture rails, to ceiling roses — all complemented by new windows fitted throughout the property.

The hallway continues past the stairs, with a handy under stair cupboard, into an open plan kitchen diner.

This stunning space is truly the heart of this house — the dining room offering double doors opening onto a raised terrace outdoor dining area with glass balustrades, effortlessly combining the character of the building with the convenience of modern living. Making for stunning dinner parties with the doors open and a breeze drifting through, this impressive room also hosts a fireplace and high ceilings.

The dining room leads to an impressive kitchen with white marble counter tops, a generous eat-at breakfast bar and excellent storage throughout — a cook's dream!

To the rear of the house is a home office accessed via the kitchen, with bifold doors that slide completely open to flood the space with light and air. This flexible room would also make an excellent family space, music room or garden room, and is served by a modern WC to the rear of the building.

A modern utility room also sits on the ground floor, with ample storage, plumbing for a washer and dryer, and a worksurface with sink.

Outside, the garden is an impressive size for such a central location, mostly laid to lawn with smart paving, mature borders and a charming hidden seating area.

To the bottom of the garden is a well sized, stone built single garage and with up and over door, with electricity and lighting already installed and the potential to easily add an electric vehicle charging point if required.

In addition, there is a stone storeroom negating the need for a garden shed.

First Floor

An imposing wooden staircase leads up to the first floor landing. The current owners have the largest room on this floor as an informal family reception space, complete with fireplace, high bay window and generous proportions.

To the rear of the building is the main bedroom suite, with a private bathroom featuring underfloor heating, heated towel rails and fully tiled Porcelanosa finishes, along with a dressing area with built in wardrobes.

A maids cupboard sits adjacent, alongside the main house bathroom, which has also been fully finished in Porcelanosa tiles with underfloor heating.

Second Floor

Four further double bedrooms occupy this floor, served by a shower room — and it is well worth noting the significant potential for loft development above, with a high roofline that could, subject to the usual consents, accommodate two additional bedrooms. Indeed, a similar property on the street has already been developed to five floors of accommodation.

Basement Floor

Stairs lead down to a very well kept basement with tiled flooring, offering a range of storage and reception rooms. The current owners enjoyed a games room down here for their teenagers for many years!

A large, three year old combi boiler serves the house with hot water and heating.
