The Old Surgery

Property Description

A charming Georgian family home in the heart of Harewood, boasting an abundance of character and offering over 6000sqft of accomodation, with a beautifully landscaped plot.

Dating back to the late 1700’s and the former doctor’s surgery, 11 The Avenue now stands as one of the most prestigious family homes in Harewood - rich in history, brimming with character, and perfectly placed for both countryside tranquillity and city convenience.

This Grade II* listed, stone-built home, sits prominently on The Avenue, yet step through the gate and that fades entirely.

A lawned front garden framed by mature beech hedging, established wisteria and a magnificent magnolia tree creates an immediate sense of seclusion. To the rear, a fully enclosed walled garden, gated driveway and detached double garage mean this home lives with the privacy and tranquillity of a secluded property — without any of the compromise on convenience.

Loved by the current owners for over 20 years, its versatile layout makes this home ideal for a range of lifestyles. The west wing of the house lends itself naturally to self-contained annexed living, offering an opportunity for multigenerational families seeking independent spaces under one roof, or for those wanting to accommodate an au pair or guests with genuine privacy and autonomy.

The interior flows naturally from a flagstone reception hall into generous, light-filled reception rooms with floor-to-ceiling Georgian sash windows and original shutters.
The warm and welcoming reception hallway is the first glimpse and ses the tone of the property.

Either side of the hallway are two excellent reception rooms, with floor to ceiling Georgian sash windows and original shutters.

The sitting room offers a feature fire surround with gas stove and the living room to the left incorporates a Chesneys log burning stove. Adjacent is a formal dining room, with gas fire, original shutters and solid oak flooring.

To the rear of the property is a charming, open plan dining kitchen, with bespoke handmade shaker cabinetry, granite worktops, central island unit, double Belfast sink, intergrated dishwasher, cast iron log burner, underfloor heating and plenty of room for a large dining table.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a fully fitted utility room with intergrated freezer and Belfast sink, access to the rear and a second staircase leads to the first-floor landing.

Completing the downstairs layout is a boot room with direct access to the garden, bespoke cabinetry and w/c.

The main staircase leads to the first-floor landing.

The principal suite offers two large Georgian windows overlooking the front garden, feature fireplace, walk in wardrobe and a phenomenal en suite bathroom, with underfloor heating, walk in shower, roll top bath and dual basins.

A further three double bedrooms lead off the landing, all serviced by the house bathroom, again with walk in shower and roll top bath.

A home office, which could be used as a further double bedroom and a practical laundry/ ironing room complete the first floor.

To the second floor are two additional double bedrooms and a third room currently used as a home gym - all serviced by a well-appointed top floor family bathroom with underfloor heating.

Outside and to the front, the property boasts a beautifully maintained lawned garden, with established wisteria and a stunning magnolia tree, all framed by mature beech hedging providing a full privacy, kerb appeal and a welcoming entrance to the home.

To the rear, a private gated driveway provides parking for numerous cars, access to the double garage and a fully enclosed and private walled garden, with established trees and planting, well stocked borders and perfectly placed patio seating, to follow the sun throughout the day.

With its unique and private plot and rural walks on your doorstep, The Old Surgery provides a rare opportunity to enjoy tranquil village living, yet within striking distance to the hustle and bustle, in a home that is steeped in superb history.
