Family friendly home with annexe for sale in Harrogate

Location was uppermost when Irene Brimell and her family bought this property ten years ago. The fact it had potential was a bonus they have taken advantage of.“We were looking for a home within walking distance of Ashville College, which is where our children went to school, and we also wanted them to be able to walk to the town centre and from here it takes 25 minutes,” says Irene.An extra large garden and the chance to extend and put their own mark on the interiors sealed the deal.

“We have extended the house and there is also potential to extend some more, if needed,” says Irene.

One of the biggest selling points is the separate annexe the Brimmells had built in the garden. It can be used as accommodation for guests or a dependent relative and is also perfect for those who want a home office.

Sited well away from the house, it has a large open plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen plus a separate shower room.

In the main dwelling, the Brimmells invested in creating a large, open plan living area, along with a separate snug and a cinema room.

They are selling to move back to London but Irene says: “I had lived in the capital all my life before moving to Yorkshire and I miss it, which is why we are moving back there.

“But we have very much enjoyed living in Harrogate and it has been the perfect place to bring up a family. The private and the state schools here are all very good and being able to walk to school and into town has given the children a lot of freedom.”
