Large apartment with potential, in a lovely area of Harrogate next to the Grammar School

A family-sized apartment between Harrogate Grammar and the Stray, this has the potential to be something very special. Come inside and explore...

Turn off Otley Road onto leafy West End Avenue, and you will soon feel how special this location is. Set just off the private Oval gardens, and almost within sight of the 200 acres of Harrogate Stray parkland, this is Harrogate living at its finest.

No. 24 is the middle of a classic Victorian terrace, an imposing building of beautiful Yorkshire stone. Apartment 3 occupies the top two floors of this fine building, with super views down towards The Oval and Trinity Church.

The current layout is unusual, with two bedrooms on the lower floor next to the bathroom and kitchen, and a large living space above. Other homes in the row have had some simple changes made to create three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, and there is plenty of scope for altering the layout of the lower floor to create a more open-plan feel.

Passing a colourful stained-glass window as you arrive at the landing, you will find the two bedrooms at the front, each with pleasant views of the green surroundings to wake up to. Behind is a modern kitchen, with a range cooker, washing machine and dryer. Lots of worktop and storage space, and room for a breakfast table. A classically elegant bathroom completes this floor,

Upstairs is a substantial open-plan living room, stretching into the eaves at the front to make the most of the space, and with lovely tree-top views down Park Road towards The Stray. There's a 'hidden corner' off the main room which would make an excellent home office area or study. Across the landing is a store room, which in neighbouring homes has been converted to a shower room.

At 1350 square feet Apartment 3 offers plenty of room for family living, and its location adjacent to Harrogate Grammar School is hard to beat. Being situated near to the town centre makes it also very suitable for holiday and conference lets, or for long-term tenancies.
