ORIGINALLY a traditional Arts and Crafts house, Brackenholm has been completely remodelled by the present owners to create a stunning and unique home boasting more than 8,000sq.ft of luxurious accommodation.

Put that together with its beautifully-landscaped grounds of around a third of an acres and its position at the gateway to the Duchy in the centre of Harrogate, and it's easy to see why the marketing agents are calling it "arguably the finest example of contemporary living close to the centre of Harrogate."

Brackenholm's extensive accommodation comprises an impressive ground floor reception hall with seating area, large cloakroom, home office, large boot room, lounge/TV room and an exceptional open-plan living/dining room which is also open to a bespoke fitted breakfast kitchen with seating area.

On the lower ground floor are the utility room, laundry and boiler/comms room.

Off the stunning first floor landing with glazed viewing area are four spacious bedroom suites, three of which have en-suite shower rooms. The fourth – the master bedroom – benefits from a fitted dressing room and an en-suite bath/wet room.

Upstairs again are two further double bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite shower room, plus a games room and bar area, a large gymnasium and a cinema room.

It is by no means only the top-quality finishes and cutting edge architecture that make Brackenholm so special. Incorporated throughout the home are examples of Smart living at its

finest, with future-proofed technology including a home automation system to control the heating (a combination of solar PV and air source heat pump) together with the Lutron lighting and Sonos sound system. There is also an integrated TV system to most principal rooms, CAT5 wiring and booster points which provide internet speeds of around 40mb, underfloor heating throughout, a sophisticated security system with CCTV and automated curtains and voiles. All of the bi-fold doors have tinted and Argon-filled panes.

The grounds of Brackenholm have certainly not missed out on the transformation and include secure parking for numerous vehicles, a well stocked landscaped formal front

garden and a stunning landscaped rear garden with substantial entertaining area including an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, pool and waterfall.

Brackenholm – which is within walking distance of Harrogate town centre and literally within a few hundred yards of the Valley Gardens – is on the market at a guide price of £3.25m.
