Regal Reception Rooms…

The sitting room is the most magnificent room, perfect for receiving guests or simply getting comfortable in the evening. The ceiling towers above with concealed ambient lighting emanating from the decorative coving that encircles the room. Enjoy roaring fires in the winter months in the fireplace housed in an original Georgian marble surround.

Across the hall is another reception room, more recently used as a family playroom. Here, we have the same ambient lighting within the ornate coving and a gas fire.

The dining room awaits to host dinner parties with your friends or Christmas dinner for the whole family. The same lighting in the coving creates the perfect atmosphere, and there are built-in shelved alcoves on either side of the chimney breast where you will find a cast-iron fireplace housing a gas fire.

“We’ve hosted many dinner parties for friends and family over the years – the house lends itself so well to entertaining.”

The Heart Of The Home…

The family kitchen, with its ample workspace and storage, is designed to cater to the needs of a busy household.

The Aga is a statement within the units, and because it has been restored and converted to using gas, is great for cooking. There is also a separate electric oven for fast and convenient use. Completing the list of appliances, there is an integrated dishwasher, full-height fridge and concealed kitchen bins with separate compartments for easy recycling. Everything that you could need in a modern family kitchen. The centre of the room is the ideal place for a family kitchen table, where you can grab informal lunches, breakfasts or simply catch up over a coffee in a warm and welcoming setting. There is even the original bell system still in place as a nod to the rich history of this beautiful home.

The separate utility room has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is a cellar which is accessed from the hallway and provides excellent storage. Off the hallway is a convenient downstairs WC.

“I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to call Granby House home.”

Beautiful Bedrooms…

Climb the turned staircase with an elegantly curved balustrade and pass the picture window, where light cascades into the hallway below. On this first floor, you will find four delightful bedrooms, each a large double with feature fireplaces and towering coved ceilings.

With its soft, neutral decor, the principal bedroom is a sanctuary for relaxation and a great night’s sleep. The en-suite bathroom, tiled in travertine-effect tiles, features a large shower, a claw-foot bath, a wash hand basin and a WC. Close the door to the world and enjoy a moment of peace in this comfortable space.

The second bedroom also has an en-suite shower room, making it a perfect guest bedroom. There are two further bedrooms on this floor which are also fantastic sizes and beautifully presented.

The house bathroom is also tiled in travertine effect tiling and has a bath with a shower above, a wash hand basin and a WC.

Up Again…

The second floor has a large bedroom with sitting area, making it a great space for an older child or relative, giving them a little privacy from the rest of the home. Tucked into the roof space but still retaining plenty of head height, the Velux windows give you wonderful views across the rooftops of Harrogate. There is also a bathroom with tiles to match the others in the home and a roll-top bath for an added sense of luxury.

Rest & Refresh…

The layout of the first floor is extremely practical. The west wing of the home has two spacious double bedrooms and a fully tiled bathroom complete with a free-standing claw-foot bath, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and shower.

The east wing also has two spacious double bedrooms and a bathroom, with a built-in TV above the bath to enjoy your favourite show while relaxing. 

“The views across The Stray are fabulous.”

To the other side of this floor is a large storage area, which could be converted into further living space, subject to planning permissions, but currently offers excellent storage.
