An outstanding family residence combining architectural distinction, exceptional leisure facilities and an unrivalled setting
A distinguished and substantial detached family residence, Shenley is an exceptional example of 1930s Art Deco architecture, occupying an enviable position on the highly sought-after south side of Harrogate. Set within beautifully landscaped grounds extending to approximately three acres, the property enjoys south-facing views across open countryside, while remaining conveniently positioned for the town's excellent amenities.
The house has been thoughtfully extended and meticulously refurbished to create an impressive family home of considerable scale and quality. Elegant proportions, exceptional natural light and beautifully appointed interiors are complemented by a magnificent central staircase, creating a striking focal point to the home.
The accommodation is both versatile and extensive. The ground floor features a welcoming reception hall, elegant sitting room, living room, a games room, study, family room, breakfast kitchen, utility room and guest cloakroom.
The principal bedroom suite occupies the first floor and benefits from a dressing area and luxurious en suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms each enjoy en suite facilities, while a superb self-contained guest suite provides a sitting room with kitchenette, bedroom, dressing area and bathroom, ideal for extended family, guests or independent living.
The second floor offers an additional bedroom suite with dressing area, bathroom and two balconies, taking full advantage of the property's elevated setting and panoramic views.
Shenley is approached via electrically operated gates leading to an expansive private driveway, providing generous parking and access to a triple garage.
The beautifully landscaped gardens are a particular feature of the property. A magnificent south-facing terrace with contemporary glazed balustrading overlooks sweeping lawns, mature herbaceous borders, ornamental water features and established trees, all enclosed by mature hedging to provide an exceptional degree of privacy. Further leisure amenities include a fenced tennis court, a detached garden room and a substantial timber workshop, while the property also benefits from an impressive leisure complex incorporating an indoor swimming pool, gymnasium and sauna.

I particularly admire the balance Shenley achieves between architectural character, generous family accommodation and an exceptional setting. The elevated south-facing position, beautifully landscaped grounds and extensive leisure facilities create a home that is as practical as it is impressive
