Detached house for sale in Harrogate HG1, 6 Bedroom

Swan House is one of the most striking houses on Swan Road, which is located in the very heart of Harrogate town centre. The current owners have skilfully remodelled and restored the property from what were three flats into a wonderful spacious family home, with brand new services, wiring, plumbing and roof as well as the luxurious fitments such as kitchen, bathrooms, floor and light fittings. Thus they have created a new house while retaining all of the character and original feel of the property.

On entering the house through the grand front door you are greeted by the stunning staircase and marble flooring complemented by an exquisite chandelier and two storey sash window. The principal reception rooms lead off this, namely the sitting room, drawing room, study and large dining kitchen. All are beautifully proportioned, flooded with natural light with floor to ceiling sash windows, high ceilings and features such as original shutters, ceiling roses and cornicing. The drawing room has an open fire and opens up into a study or a further reception room, which benefits from french doors opening out onto the garden.

The spacious open plan dining kitchen has been fully fitted with aeg appliances, plenty of storage, a wine cooler as well as a fabulous central island. The kitchen continues into a large dining area with original wood flooring. To the first floor are three excellent suites, which lead off a grand landing space. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the house with a stunning view over the grounds. It boasts a separate dressing room complete with built in wardrobes as well as a large en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath and large walk in shower. There are two further large double bedrooms on this floor, both with en-suite bathrooms.

The second floor is currently being used as additional space for guests but can be accessed from a separate entrance if a home office, annexe or self contained apartment was required. This has a sitting room, modern fitted kitchen with integral appliances and three large double bedrooms, one en-suite and a jack and jill style bathroom. Swan House offers flexible accomodation, perfect for someone looking for a more manageable space, but still able to cope with the occasional returning family if required.
