Just outside the hustle and bustle of the town centre is a very special area known as 'The Duchy'. Quiet, tree-lined avenues lead past large period residences hidden away behind tall hedges and gates, this area is a peaceful and private hideaway, but just a stroll from the vibrant town of Harrogate.

The western fringes of The Duchy such as Kent Road are the most convenient for access to the Valley Gardens, beautiful countryside at Birk Crag, and the wonderful RHS Harlow Carr. No. 60 has a very green, edge-of-the-country feel, with little passing traffic, despite being close to town.

Enter down a long, curved driveway to the grand entrance hall of No. 60, with a central staircase leading you up to the entrance to the penthouse at Flat 5. Some fabulous surprises await you inside...

The living and dining space is simply spectacular, a large open-plan room with bespoke mood lighting and two sets of folding doors opening onto a long balcony to give that lovely indoors/outdoors feel. A great room for entertaining friends and family in the summer months, with views out towards Oakdale Golf Club, but equally with the doors closed this room is a warm and cosy hideaway in which to relax and unwind.

Across the hallway sits a modern breakfast kitchen, complete with the high quality fittings you would expect from a home of this standard. Designed with ease of use in mind, features such as an eye-level oven and microwave make cooking here a pleasure not a chore. A breakfast area and a large utility and laundry store complete this side of the home.

To the front of the building, looking out over the well-tended communal gardens of No.60, sits the first of two bedrooms. All decorated in calming, neutral tones, there's ample space here for a king-sized bed, and room for a seating area too, a peaceful spot to curl up with a book before bed. Walk through to the en-suite, elegantly finished, with a large rainhead shower to help you to start the day.

Along the hallway sits the second bedroom, a similar size to the first, and again with lovely views over the gardens. The dressing area is complemented by built-in wardrobes, and there is plenty of space to add more storage if required. Next door is the house bathroom, featuring a deep, luxurious bath in which to soak away the cares of the day.

Outside, and the lawns and gardens to the front and side of the property are colourful spaces of quiet seclusion, trees and tall hedges offer a high level of privacy. At the rear of the building the driveway leads to a large parking area, with two allocated spaces for each apartment.

This penthouse apartment is ready and waiting to provide new owners with the very best lifestyle that Harrogate has to offer, whether as a full-time residence, or a home-from-home in superb surroundings. Call Ken Gibson at our Harrogate office today, he will be delighted to answer any questions you may have, and to arrange an appointment for you to view. Viewings are available 7 days a week.
