View this "meticulously modernised" Victorian home for sale in south Harrogate

With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, York House is a sizeable home on a tree-lined road close to The Stray parkland, with a south-facing, landscaped, courtyard garden.

Solid oak flooring lines the reception hall, and the hand-built living kitchen with integrated appliances, granite worktops and a recessed Aga.

A bay-fronted drawing room with open fire has detailed period decor that includes a ceiling cornice and a picture rail, and it's in rooms such as this that you can imagine a time when men would walk in with top hats, and women swished by in long skirts with bustles.

From the kitchen is a flow-through dining area that has double doors back to the main hallway.

There's a useful ground floor utility room and w.c., and access to the cellars which are split in to a family room, two further versatile rooms and one for storage with a door leading outside.

The principal bedroom, with a bay window, on the first floor, has a luxurious dressing room and an en-suite with Travertine marble finish.

A guest bedroom also has an en suite bathroom and there's a separate walk-in shower, then a box room at this level.

Above are three further bedrooms and a bathroom off the second floor landing.

Entry to the property is through gates between stone pillars, with a driveway and parking space for numerous vehicles.

Charming flagged courtyard gardens are behind the house, with a pedestrian gate, and a lawn stretches to the front.

​York House, Queen's Road, Harrogate, is for sale at £1,495,000, with Myrings estate agents, Harrogate, tel. 01423 566400​.
