Leeds Road, Harrogate, HG2

A stunning 5 bedroom detached house having been tastefully renovated to the highest of standards with about 3264 sq ft of contemporary open plan interiors, light and airy rooms standing in mature, private gardens of some size extending to about a third of an acre with a detached triple garage all sitting behind electric gates on the sought after south side of town, close to M&S Food & Hornbeam Park train station. The property also benefits from granted planning permission to convert the detached triple garage into a gym, studio or home office — adding further versatility to this already outstanding home.

Approached via a gravelled driveway and fronted by a manicured lawn, the house opens into a central reception hall that rises to a galleried landing above. To the front elevation are two elegant bay-fronted reception rooms — one ideal as a home office or playroom, the other featuring a modern log-burning stove.

To the rear elevation there is a magnificent, sociable dining kitchen with vaulted ceiling and a Stephen Neall bespoke hand built kitchen with marble work surfaces including the central island bar. Wood burner. Limestone tiled floors from La Picida. Twin sets of French doors open out to the elevated sun terrace which steps down to the lawned garden and additional seating areas including a stone flagged patio covered by a timber pergola. A rear entrance to the house leads into a boot room with built in storage that provides access to a practical utility room and guest w/c, and there is a dedicated home office. To the first floor the galleried landing branches to a luxury house bathroom that is fully tiled and presents a bathtub and separate walk in shower, and five well-proportioned double sized bedrooms, two of which have en-suite facilities.

Externally, double electric gates provide access to the gravelled side driveway. The rear garden is a real showpiece — mature, secluded, and ideal for family living, with well-tended lawns, hedged boundaries, and a BBQ area under the pergola. The detached triple garage offers huge potential for conversion or continued use as additional storage.
