KNARESBOROUGH HOME LAUNCH REFLECTS ENDURING DEMAND FOR PRIME EDGE-OF-TOWN PROPERTY
Dacre Son and Hartley created on 24th April 2026
A substantial five-bedroom detached home with generous gardens and versatile living space on the fringe of Knaresborough is for sale for the first time in 19 years.
Westwood, on Scriven Road, is being marketed by Dacre, Son & Hartley with a guide price of £1m. Positioned in a prime residential setting close to the town centre, the property combines period character with well-appointed interiors and a layout suited to modern family life.
Originally constructed in the 1930s, Westwood has evolved to offer expansive accommodation extending over three floors. The internal configuration includes four reception rooms and a substantial living kitchen, alongside five double bedrooms and five bath and shower rooms, providing a level of flexibility that remains in limited supply locally.
Nick Alcock, senior associate and branch manager at Dacre, Son & Hartley in Knaresborough, said: “I sold this property to the current owner and am delighted to be selling it again. Homes of this calibre, offering both space and adaptability in such a well-regarded location, rarely come to market. Westwood represents a strong example of the type of property that continues to attract sustained interest from family buyers moving within the region, as well as those relocating into North Yorkshire.”
The ground floor is arranged around a central reception hall, leading to a series of formal and informal living areas, including a lounge with a wood burning stove, a separate sitting room, dining room and dedicated study. The kitchen is designed as a functional family hub, complemented by a utility room and direct access to the gardens.
Externally, the property stands within private gardens to three sides, incorporating lawned areas, established planting and a terrace designed for outdoor entertaining. A gated driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a detached double garage with an adjoining workshop, which offers potential for further conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
Nick added: “The combination of established gardens, multiple reception spaces and the potential to further enhance the outbuildings adds to the overall appeal. Buyers are increasingly focused on properties that can accommodate changing lifestyle requirements, including home working and multi-functional space.”
The location provides convenient access to Knaresborough’s amenities, schooling and transport links, including rail connections and the nearby A1(M), enabling straightforward travel to Harrogate, Leeds and York.
Nick said: “Well-positioned homes with this level of space and flexibility continue to perform strongly. Westwood is a compelling proposition for buyers seeking a long-term family home in a highly regarded area.” An open viewing event is scheduled at the property on Saturday 25 April between 1pm and 3pm.
