Hidden away in the clock tower of this landmark Harrogate building is a really special home. From the moment you arrive at St. Luke's Court you will feel just how unique this location and building are, there's nothing quite like it anywhere in the Harrogate area.
From an entrance on the first floor, 'The Clocktower' sits over two floors of this historic building, lifting you high above the hustle and bustle of King's Road into a private and secluded escape from the outside world.
Whether heading home from work, or arriving for a holiday, The Clocktower is a cosy, comfortable retreat where you can wind down and relax, surrounded by beautiful architecture and pleasant gardens, with shops, restaurants, and bars on the doorstep when you feel like going out.
The layout is quirky, as you might expect from a Gothic-style church conversion, but that's part of the charm of the place.
An entrance hall and cloaks store leads you down a hallway to a lovely double bedroom, arched stone windows to two sides, and window seats from which to watch the world go by. The shower room next door is elegant and modern, having been upgraded by the current owner. There's additional storage in the hallway outside before you climb up through a magnificent stone archway to the living area above.
The upper floor, although compact, has everything you need for a comfortable modern lifestyle, combined with more wonderful character features to enjoy. The living and dining space has stone arch windows to two sides, bathing the room in natural light and giving elevated views over the surroundings, a lovely place to enjoy your morning coffee or to work from in the home office space created by the current owner. The kitchen is modern, with lots of workspace and storage, and integrated appliances that are included in the sale.
Outside the building are communal gardens of lawn and trees, and two private parking areas for residents and their guests.
'The Clocktower' is a super home for a first-time buyer, someone looking for a second home, or as a long-term rental investment. Call or email today for more information and to arrange your appointment ot view this special home. Viewings are available any day.
