One double bedroom with Velux skylight and modern bathroom
Approximately 407 sq ft — compact, efficient layout
Recently installed double glazing and gas central heating
Long lease (980 years); leasehold tenure
Service charge £720 pa and ground rent £50 pa
Second-floor access only — requires stairs
Timber-frame, likely limited insulation (assumed)
Close to Harrogate town centre and excellent local amenities
A compact one-bedroom second-floor flat in a handsome Victorian stone house, positioned a short walk from Harrogate town centre and local amenities on Cold Bath Road. The apartment benefits from recently installed double glazing and gas central heating, creating a warm, low-maintenance home for someone getting on the ladder.
Internally the layout is efficient: entrance hall with storage, an open kitchen/living area with breakfast bar, a double bedroom with a Velux window and a bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower. High ceilings and period bay windows in the building add character, while the flat’s upper-floor position should provide pleasant street views and good natural light.
Practical details make this a low-risk purchase: a long lease (980 years), modest service charge (£720 pa) and small ground rent (£50 pa). Council tax is very cheap and the property sits in a low-crime, very affluent area with fast broadband — attractive for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Be aware of the flat’s small overall size (approximately 407 sq ft) and the second-floor location, which requires stair access. The building is an older timber-frame construction and insulation may be limited (assumed), so heating bills and sound transfer could be higher than in newer builds. The compact bedroom has a low/Velux ceiling in places and attic-style proportions, which may suit some buyers but limit furniture arrangements.
