There is a spacious hall and staircase with original features leading to 3 large first floor bedrooms - one with superking bed, one with kingsize bed, and one twin room. There are two bathrooms - one with bathtub and separate shower, one with separate shower. The whole of the second floor is Tony's working artist's studio, and the basement is his framing workshop.

Harrogate is a highly sought after Yorkshire Spa town. Situated within the middle of England it provides great access to motorways north, south, east and west. Harrogate is very popular as a tourist destination providing a fantastic range of restaurants, bars and boutique shopping. From our house you can walk into the centre of town across the lovely Stray in 15 minutes. A visit to the town's historic Turkish Baths and Spa is a must! Harrogate is well known for a range of festivals and events including the Spring Flower Show, antiques fairs and the Great Yorkshire Show. The beautiful Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors are on the doorstep affording great days walking and visiting local market towns and pubs. You can also enjoy a range of outdoor activities including riding, cycling, fishing and wildlife watching. The world heritage site of Fountains Abbey is only a 20 minute drive away along with a range of famous historic English houses and castles. The seaside towns of the east coast are only an hour's drive away. Harrogate also gives easy access to the historic city of York, and the metropolitan city of Leeds via a regular train service that also gives high speed links to London in 2hrs.

Tony and I are in our sixties - Tony has been a professional artist for over 30 years - have a look at his website. We travel a lot in europe - especially Italy - which is the main source of inspiration for his paintings and love to travel further afield when we can. We hold annual Exhibitions in our house and love organizing these events and so are therefore very relaxed about having people to share our home and workplace.
