Location
The picturesque market town of Knaresborough offers an excellent range of daily shops and services. The wide ranging attractions of Harrogate are about five miles away, but most notably the property is ideally situated for swift accessibility to further afield, being five miles from the A1(M) Motorway, Junction 47. The likes of Leeds (about 34 minutes drive) and York (about 37 minutes drive) are within very comfortable commuting distance, both having rail connections to the East Coast Mainline with some services making the journey to London Kings Cross in under two hours. Leeds Bradford airport is about a thirty minute drive away.
