An Exceptional Victorian Residence Of Over 7,000 Sq. Ft That Offers Magnificent Period Character.

16 Cold Bath Road is an outstanding 19th-century residence dating from 1875 and carries a rich heritage. Records suggest the original house was built circa 1850 for a surgeon, and by 1880, it was owned by the Mayor of Harrogate until 1910. The property has also served as a nursing home and more recently as a fine art gallery providing characterful accommodation in one of Harrogate’s most sought-after addresses. The property features high corniced ceilings, tall sash windows, and impressive original fireplaces, offering immense potential to create a magnificent luxury family home, being transformed into a collection of luxury flats or a boutique hotel, subject to the necessary consents.

Currently the ground floor is designed for both grand entertaining and practical family living. A grand entrance hall with mosaic-tiled flooring serves as the central hub, leading seamlessly into three primary reception rooms and providing direct access to an extensive cellar network including a dedicated wine store. The reception rooms comprise a generous parlour and a formal drawing room to the front—both bathed in natural light via tall bay windows—and a sophisticated dining room. The flow moves toward the rear of the property into the heart of the home: a sprawling 25ft kitchen featuring original floor tiling and an Aga. This culinary space is supported by a highly functional service wing comprising a pantry and utility room that provide useful additional space for storage and appliances and leads through to a useful private home office.

A turned staircase, centred around a stunning chandelier, ascends to the first floor where the property’s versatility is further highlighted and is dedicated to privacy and comfort. Currently featuring four generous double bedrooms to include the principal bedroom, complemented by its own dedicated dressing room and the addition of a Jack and Jill bathroom that adds a layer of convenience and privacy, making it an inviting retreat within the home. Whilst bedroom two is a grand dual-aspect bedroom that commands the front of the house.

The second floor continues the home’s sense of scale, offering three further impressive bedrooms and an additional bathroom. A versatile multi-purpose room completes this level, providing an ideal canvas for a bespoke cinema room, a family games room, or a quiet secondary lounge.
