This chain-free, first-floor three-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from Harrogate town centre and Mark’s & Spencer Food Hall, making daily errands and leisure effortless. The flat is presented to a high standard throughout, with a modern shaker kitchen, quartz worktops and integrated appliances, two bathrooms, and a bright living room with a feature fireplace. A south-facing balcony and elevated bay-window dining area capture sunlight and pleasant views toward nearby parkland.
Practical ownership is straightforward: an exceptionally long lease (circa 950+ years) and a reasonable average service charge of about £1,200 per year. The property is leasehold, has mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (pre-2002), and an EPC rating of C — functional now but with scope for further energy improvements. The building is a Victorian-era semi with solid brick walls; insulation upgrades could be considered in future renovations.
Layout is flexible for buyers seeking comfort or adaptable living: two double bedrooms (one with en-suite and built-in wardrobes), a third bedroom that can double as a home office or second sitting room, and a separate dining area in the bay. For families, the location benefits from several highly rated nearby schools; for downsizers or professionals, the low-maintenance flat and proximity to amenities are strong draws.
Notable considerations: the property is leasehold and has communal access and shared maintenance obligations; while the lease length is excellent, buyers should budget for the service charge and confirm details before purchase. Double glazing predates 2002 and the building’s solid-wall construction means insulating improvements may be needed for long-term energy efficiency.
