Foxwood House

Property Description

Foxwood House is an elegant, detached property, set within beautifully landscaped private grounds of approximately 0.43 acres, all within a level walk of central Harrogate. Offering a rare combination of period charm and modern versatility, the property also incorporates a self-contained annexe, ideal for guests, dependent relatives or home working.

Dating from around 1920, the house retains a wealth of original architectural features, including overhanging rooflines, timbered elevations and characterful interior detailing. Sympathetically extended and enhanced, it now provides approximately 3,500 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation designed for contemporary living.

The ground floor centres around a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom/WC, leading to a beautifully proportioned drawing room, enhanced by noted interior designer Richard Grafton.

A separate sitting room offers a more relaxed space, while to the rear, a superb split-level dining and garden room enjoys a light-filled, open-plan feel with a distinct continental influence. Double doors open onto extensive south-west facing terraces, creating an excellent flow for entertaining. The large breakfast kitchen with four-oven Aga is complemented by a utility room, and a discreet study lies to the front.

Upstairs, the principal suite is particularly impressive, featuring a generous bedroom, two dressing rooms and an elegant Edwardian-style bathroom with original fittings, along with a separate WC. Two further double bedrooms are served by a stylish house bathroom.
The attached annexe, converted from the original garage, provides well-appointed independent accommodation including a studio bedroom, bathroom and conservatory overlooking the gardens.

Externally, electric gates open onto a sweeping gravel driveway leading to a substantial detached double garage with additional storage. The gardens are a defining feature, thoughtfully landscaped to provide privacy, with expansive lawns, mature wooded boundaries, extensive terracing and a striking display of rhododendrons in season.

Quietly situated off Victoria Road, close to Cold Bath Road and within easy reach of Harrogate’s famous Stray, Foxwood House offers an exceptional lifestyle, combining space, privacy and elegant design, just moments from the town’s excellent amenities and transport connections.

We are advised that the property is connected to all mains services.
