ATTRACTIVE EDWARDIAN HOME FOR SALE FOR FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS

A grand home on The Avenue in Knaresborough that has been in the same family for almost 20 years is now for sale with the town’s most successful estate agent, Dacre Son & Hartley.

“Homes like this one don’t come on the market often,” said senior associate, Nick Alcock, who is the branch manager at Dacre, Son & Hartley in Knaresborough. “It’s a truly magnificent, five/six bedroom semi-detached family home with private southerly facing rear gardens. The home enjoys an attractive plot in a quiet cul-de-sac location in this highly regarded residential location.” 

Number 4 The Avenue is on the market for £610,000. With versatile living space over three floors, the characterful semi-detached family home boasts an array of standout features. Nick explained: “An attractive oak panelled entrance hall leads through to a spacious reception hall with a staircase to the first floor and staircase to the lower ground floor where there is a utility and separate store room.

“The lounge is a delightful characterful room with a walk in bay window and a feature open grate fireplace with Arts and Crafts cast iron inset and tiled surround and an oak mantel. There is a second sitting room that also has a fabulous stone fireplace.

“The dining kitchen is a large light-filled room with bespoke base units, granite working surfaces, a classic range style oven and a stylish twin Belfast style sink. Another feature in the kitchen is the multi fuel burning stove and the French doors lead out onto a southerly facing raised deck which is perfect for dining outside.” 

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, two of which have attractive fireplaces, and a further fourth bedroom or study, a house bathroom and separate WC. On the second floor, there are two further double bedrooms that have exposed ceiling beams and a second house bathroom.

“It’s a large home ideal for family life,” added Nick. “Outside there’s an attractive shaped lawned garden and a block paved driveway at the front with ample off-street parking. A further feature of the property is the lawned rear garden that has a handy timber garden shed, block paved patio and raised deck area. As the garden is southerly facing and private its perfect for entertaining.

“We anticipate plenty of interest, given the fact we sold the other half of the property four years ago in just three weeks. It’s also got a great location – close to Knaresborough's town centre but within easy access of the southern bypass and A1/M.”
