About the location
The house is in a semi-rural area on the outskirts of Knaresbrough in North Yorkshire. Knaresborough is a picturesque Georgian market town, with many historic buildings all set on a hill along side the river Nidd. There are fantastic views from the ruined Castle. There are shops, small supermarkets, cafes, traditional pubs and a weekly market.
It is close to Harrogate (15 minutes), York (30 minutes) and Leeds (40 minutes), which can be reached by car or by train from Knaresborough Station.
The house backs onto the Nidd Gorge a beautiful wooded valley, with the River Nidd. You can walk from the house directly into the countryside with many footpaths.
It is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dale of Nidderdale, which is officially recognised as an Area Of Oustanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is near to the village of Ripley and Ripley Castle and Gardens (10 minute drive or 2 hour walk along the river). National Trust visitor attractions such as the World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Brimham Rocks are both 30 minute car drives away.
You can visit the famous spa town of Harrogate and its Turkish baths and Betty's Tea Room and also its many shops, bars, cinemas, galleries and cafes.
If you want museums and galleries or live music / clubs you can visit both York and Leeds very easily.
