Set on one of the most sought-after streets in Harrogate, this 3-bedroom semi-detached house offers a rare opportunity to create a spacious, characterful family home. The property sits on a large, mature lawned plot with a long rear garden, driveway and single garage — a valuable combination for growing families who value outdoor space and off-street parking. The bay-fronted reception rooms, original fireplaces and generous room sizes provide a strong base for refurbishment.
The house has been in a single ownership since it was built in the 1950s and now requires modernisation throughout. There is scope to reconfigure living space, update the kitchen and bathroom, and add contemporary fixtures and finishes to unlock the property’s full potential. Gas central heating is already installed and the layout includes a separate dining room, pantry, and useful understairs storage — practical features for everyday family life.
Positioned within easy walking distance of reputable schools, local shops and the 200-acre Stray parkland, the location will appeal to families seeking convenience and green space. The surrounding area is affluent with very low crime and fast broadband, supporting both family living and home-working. Buyers should note the property’s renovation requirement and single bathroom when considering budgets and plans.
For a buyer prepared to invest in updating, this home offers strong upside: substantial square footage, a generous plot with potential for extension (subject to planning), and classic 1950s character that modernisation can tastefully enhance. Viewings are recommended for those who want a project with significant long-term payoff.
