Rutland Drive, Harrogate, North Yorkshire

Rutland House is an elegant and substantial six bedroom detached residence positioned on one of the most prestigious and sought after roads within the highly desirable Duchy Estate. Offering over 3,000 sq. ft of beautifully arranged accommodation, this impressive home combines generous family living with refined entertaining spaces, all complemented by a private south facing garden that captures the sun throughout the day.

Set well back from the road, Rutland House enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy. Wrought iron electric gates open onto a sweeping gravel driveway framed by mature hedging, creating an immediate feeling of arrival. The driveway provides extensive parking and leads to an attached 15foot garage with power and lighting. The exterior also benefits from subtle outdoor lighting and a full alarm system for added peace of mind.

A covered porch leads into a spacious and welcoming reception hall. From here, the ground floor unfolds with excellent versatility: a useful downstairs bathroom and a bedroom/home office sit to one side, ideal for guests or those working from home. The dual aspect living room is a bright and relaxing space, featuring sliding patio doors that open directly onto the rear garden, allowing the outdoors to become an extension of the living area.

The heart of the home is the superb, recently extended open plan dining and living kitchen — a contemporary, light filled space designed for both everyday family life and stylish entertaining. Tiled flooring, bifolding doors to the front and rear, and a central breakfast island create a seamless flow. The kitchen is fitted with a range of modern units, integrated appliances and elegant white quartz worktops. A large separate dining room provides an additional formal entertaining space, perfect for hosting larger gatherings and special occasions.

Ascending to the first floor, the landing leads to an exceptional principal bedroom suite. This luxurious room features fitted wardrobes, a modern ensuite shower room and the rare advantage of a generous elevated balcony overlooking the garden — an idyllic spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. Three further well-proportioned double bedrooms are found on this floor, one with its own ensuite and the others with fitted wardrobes, along with a stylishly tiled house bathroom.

An open tread staircase rises to the top floor, revealing a fantastic bonus room with its own ensuite shower room. This versatile space offers endless possibilities — a hobby room, playroom, office, studio or occasional bedroom — and includes ample eaves storage.

The private south facing rear garden is a true highlight. Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature planting, it offers a tranquil setting for families to enjoy. A substantial patio area provides the perfect place for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in the sunshine.

Rutland House is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented home in one of Harrogate’s most exclusive residential locations — a property that offers space, privacy and exceptional lifestyle appeal.
