What a wonderful location this is! A quiet spot just outside Harrogate town centre, but close enough that everything you could want is within easy reach. Beautiful gardens and glorious North Yorkshire countryside are just moments away, and the finest wining and dining in the area is on your doorstep.

Set well back from busy roads, with little passing traffic to spoil the peaceful surroundings, 5 Springfield Avenue feels far more of a leafy suburb than its HG1 postcode suggests. Step through the elegant entrance hall and climb the short flight of stairs to Flat 2 (or there's a lift if you prefer), and the feeling of calm continues. This is a home to relax and unwind in, a retreat from the world outside.

The sitting room is a wonderful space, enough room for a large suite to fit with ease, and tastefully decorated in warm tones. Windows to the south and west bathe this room in natural light, and provide pleasant green views to the trees opposite. A rather grand living flame gas fire will add extra warmth on winter nights to keep this room cosy for the whole family.

Along the hall you will find a modern dining kitchen, enough workspace and storage here for even the most enthusiastic of cooks! Built-in appliances, and a nice view out to the rear gardens. There's a breakfast bar, and plenty of space for a dining table too.

The first of two bathrooms is next, beautifully finished, with a large walk-in shower to help you start the morning, and an extra-deep slipper bath to sink into after a long day.

The first of the three bedrooms faces south, and sits at the front of the building, with nice bay window views of the trees to wake up to. There's ample room here for a large bed, wardrobe storage, and a dressing area, even an evening lounge.

The second and third bedrooms have an unusual layout (see the floorplan), but the arrangement has worked well for the current owner and could be easily changed for alternative uses. The second double bedroom looks out to the rear garden, and has the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The third bedroom is smaller, but would still easily accommodate a double bed and furniture. This room is currently used as a dining room, but would also make a very good home office, lounge area for the second bedroom, or study.

Outside, and at the rear of the building is a single garage (permit parking is also available for residents and guests), and the gate to the garden area. The garden and patios are shared by No. 5 and No. 6, opening up a sizeable enclosed area across the full width of both properties. There's a well-kept lawn bordered by colourful beds, and several patio seating areas to allow you follow the sun through the day. Steps lead down to a shared cellar, with lots of room for storing bikes, sports gear and occasional furniture etc.

Flat 2 is a really welcoming and comfortable home in a fantastic position for enjoying the Harrogate lifestyle. It's been a family home for some years, but would make an excellent second home base in the town, and the great room sizes would suit a couple downsizing from a larger home. We'd love to show you more, and answer any questions you may have. Please get in touch today with our Harrogate team using the contact form or call button on this page.
