Firs Road, Harrogate, North Yorkshire

11 Firs Road is a striking modern detached house with impeccable style and plenty of natural light throughout. The property features white rendered walls and sweeping, dramatic angles while inside there are airy, spacious, open plan living. The stylish property has been designed to take advantage of its setting and orientation, with glass walls and large glazed doors leading to the rear south-facing terrace and professionally landscaped gardens. This individual architect-designed house has been constructed incorporating the very latest technologies and materials, to create a property approaching “passive house” standards, including a mechanical heat recovery and ventilation system and also has the benefit of triple glazing throughout.

The dramatic reception hall sets the tone for the property, with its floating staircase, steel balustrade and double-height windows bringing light to the galleried landing above. The heart of the home is the sitting room and kitchen/dining room with its L-shaped open-plan layout. Both rooms have wooden flooring and sliding glass doors opening onto the garden, while a contemporary fireplace sits at the intersection of the two rooms. The kitchen itself has sleek modern units in white, as well as integrated appliances. Also on the ground floor are the comfortable snug and the study, which is ideal for home working.

There is a family bathroom and three double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which is en suite. Upstairs there is a generous principal bedroom with its own luxury dressing room and en suite bathroom, which has a large freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower.

Services: Mains electricity, gas, water and private drainage which we believe to be compliant with current regulations.

The property sits behind a secure electric gated entrance, which opens onto a block-paved driveway with plenty of parking space and access to the integrated double garage. The garden at the rear has a large expanse of paved terracing for al fresco dining, a level lawn and high timber fencing with hedgerows and mature trees beyond, providing privacy from neighbouring properties.

The property is located a mile south of the centre of the historic spa town of Harrogate, in the popular suburb of Rossett Green. Harrogate features a wealth of fine Georgian and Victorian architecture, and has excellent shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, plus a number of supermarkets, and a choice of superb schools – both state and independent.

The area is well connected by road, with the A1(M) just 10 miles from the property, offering easy access to the north and south, while Harrogate mainline station offers direct services to London Kings Cross in three hours. The property is situated close to the beautiful RHS Harlow Carr gardens, while golf is available at Pannal Golf Club.
