ACCOMMODATION

A wrought iron gate opens into a charming front courtyard and leads to an entrance vestibule before opening into an impressive reception hall. From the moment you step inside, the quality and scale of the property is immediately apparent, with high ceilings, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and beautifully preserved period detailing creating an elegant first impression.

To the front elevation, a stunning formal reception room enjoys a large bay window overlooking Victoria Avenue together with an attractive fireplace and excellent ceiling heights. This beautifully proportioned room provides an ideal setting for both entertaining and everyday family living.

The kitchen itself has been thoughtfully designed with extensive cabinetry, quartz work surfaces, integrated appliances and a substantial breakfast island, creating a sociable and highly functional space equally suited to busy family mornings and larger-scale entertaining.

To the rear of the property, a versatile garden room currently serves as a home office and benefits from full-width bi-folding doors opening directly onto the garden. This flexible space could equally serve as a family room, playroom, studio or additional reception room depending upon a purchaser’s requirements.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a utility room and guest cloakroom.

The first floor provides particularly impressive accommodation. A magnificent reception room, currently utilised as an informal family lounge, enjoys generous proportions, a large bay window and attractive fireplace. This elegant space could alternatively serve as a luxurious principal bedroom suite if desired.

The principal bedroom is located to the rear of the property and benefits from a dressing area with fitted wardrobes together with a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom finished with Porcelanosa tiling and underfloor heating. A further house bathroom, also finished to an exceptional standard, serves this floor.

To the second floor are four further double bedrooms together with a shower room, creating excellent accommodation for larger families and visiting guests.

Of particular note is the significant future potential offered by the loft space above. Subject to the necessary consents, there may be scope to create additional accommodation, with neighbouring properties having successfully undertaken similar projects.

The lower ground floor provides substantial additional space currently utilised for storage and recreation. Extending to approximately 575 square feet, this highly versatile area offers potential for a variety of future uses, subject to any necessary consents.

Throughout the property there is a wonderful balance between period elegance and modern practicality. Recent improvements including replacement windows, rewiring, replacement plumbing and a modern heating system ensure the house performs as impressively as it presents.

OUTSIDE

One of the property’s most surprising features is the size of its garden.

Rarely do homes within such close proximity to Harrogate town centre offer outside space of this scale. To the rear, a raised terrace provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst steps lead down to an attractive lawned garden bordered by mature planting and established landscaping.

The gardens offer a wonderful degree of privacy and create an attractive backdrop to the house throughout the year. A secluded seating area provides a peaceful retreat away from the main entertaining spaces, whilst the lawn offers ample room for families and outdoor enjoyment.

To the rear boundary stands a substantial stone-built garage complete with power and lighting, together with a useful adjoining store. The garage provides valuable secure parking and storage whilst also offering future potential for electric vehicle charging.

The combination of private gardens, generous outdoor entertaining space and garaging is rarely found within such a central Harrogate location.
