3 bedroom terraced house for sale

At Harrogate's highest point, in the lovely Harlow Hill area, sits 20 Wharfedale Avenue. Set back from the road that joins the town centre to Harrogate Grammar School, Harlow Hill shopping, and the Beckwithshaw countryside, this is a quieter spot than you might expect, and once you have stepped inside and shut out the outside world this really is a calm and peaceful place to come home to.

Larger than other terraced homes in the area, No. 20 has been extended and decorated by the current owner to create a very characterful and practical family-sized home, with a country cottage feel.

Step inside, and you come first into a long sitting room, warmed by a log-burning stove, and full of charming original features. Plenty of room here for a family to relax together in comfort.

The extended dining kitchen really is the heart of this home. The clever design of the extension and kitchen maximises the workspace and storage available, and still leaves lots of space for family dining .The cottage feel continues here, with a range cooker, wood worktops, and country decor, it would be easy to imagine walking out of the back door straight into open fields, and you almost can! At the rear of the house is a cottage garden, overflowing with greenery and colourful plants, a lovely link with nature and to the countryside at the end of the street.

The first floor houses the largest of the double bedrooms, across the full width of the front of the house, beautifully decorated in a Regency style, and finished with a restored original fireplace. Across the landing is the third bedroom, large enough for a nursery or child's room, and easily changed to a home office or a dressing room if preferred. The first bathroom is also on this floor, an artistic room of reclaimed tiles and quirky copper fittings, and a fabulous claw-foot bath in which to soak away the cares of the day.

Upstairs, and the second double bedroom has its own shower room, with a large walk-in shower, modern white suite, and lots of useful storage.

No. 20 is a unique and charming home in a great location, and has been enjoyed by the same family for the last 17 years. Call today to book your appointment to view, viewings are available seven days a week.
