Description
A substantial and highly attractive period property occupying a prominent corner position on Dragon Parade, moments from Harrogate town centre. This striking Victorian/Edwardian building has only recently become vacant and now offers a rare opportunity for owner-occupiers, developers, or investors.
The property provides approximately 5,800 sq ft (gross) arranged over four floors, with generous, well-proportioned rooms, excellent natural light and a wealth of original architectural character, including stone elevations, feature bays and an iconic turret.
The accommodation is flexible and well suited to a variety of future uses including commercial, medical, office, wellbeing, or educational purposes (subject to planning). Importantly, the property benefits from approved residential planning consent for conversion into three large apartments, as illustrated on the proposed floor plans. These plans demonstrate the building’s exceptional potential for high-quality residential redevelopment.
Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with mature boundaries and benefits from good external amenity space, including on-site parking for approximately six vehicles.
Available freehold, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark building in one of Harrogate’s most desirable and accessible central locations, perfectly positioned for transport links, the retail core, and surrounding professional districts.
