Victorian character, modern open-plan living, and direct views over Valley Gardens — low-maintenance central apartment.
Long lease: 993 years remaining
Set quietly behind a handsome stone wall, this lower-ground two-bedroom apartment combines Victorian character with a modern open-plan finish. The bay-windowed living area and large windows look onto mature planting and Valley Gardens, giving an unusually green outlook for a central location. The kitchen is contemporary with integrated appliances, and the main bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room; a separate bathroom serves the second bedroom.
Practical strengths include an exceptionally long lease (993 years), double glazing installed after 2002, gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband — all helpful for low-maintenance, everyday living. The building is part of a period terrace with attractive stonework and high ceilings, which add charm and a roomy feel inside.
Be aware this is a lower-ground apartment, so natural light is good but not the same as a full ground-floor flat; buyers sensitive to light levels should view at different times of day. There is no private garden visible — outside space is communal/public (Valley Gardens) rather than a private rear garden. The property is leasehold and subject to council tax at an above-average band for the area. As with older stone-built homes, future buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance common to period buildings.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers or professionals seeking a stylish, low-upkeep home in a highly regarded Harrogate location with excellent local schools, strong transport links and pleasant parkland on the doorstep. It also offers straightforward buy-to-let potential thanks to layout, location and local demand.
