Summary - Dragon Parade, Harrogate HG1 5DQ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal starter home close to Harrogate town centre.
Long lease: 999 years from 1988 (very secure)
A compact first-floor apartment set within a handsome Victorian terrace on a tree-lined avenue. The sitting room feels generous for a one-bed flat, with high ceilings, period features and a pleasant outlook across Dragon Parade. The price reflects the need for updating, making this a realistic entry point onto Harrogate's property ladder.
Practical positives include a long lease (999 years from 1988), a very low ground rent (£25 per annum) and gas central heating with double glazing already installed. The layout suits a single occupant or couple: one double bedroom, a roomy sitting room with a small study area, a rear kitchen and a bathroom with a white suite.
Buyers should budget for renovation and ongoing maintenance contributions to the building; the flat has been rented since 2003 and requires updating. There is no private garden and communal area upkeep is shared. Note the local crime level is described as high, which may affect insurance or investment considerations.
For first-time buyers this flat offers affordable access to Harrogate town centre, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Its period character, convenient location and long lease make it a practical starter home or a buy-to-let after refurbishment, provided purchasers factor in improvement costs and communal maintenance obligations.
