1930s Shenley art deco house in Burn Bridge, near Harrogate, North Yorkshire
Not just an art deco house, Shenley art deco house in Burn Bridge, Near Harrogate, North Yorkshire is huge, even throwing in a pool and a tennis court.
Sat just south of Harrogate, described as an area known for ‘individual and exclusive homes’, Shenley is on the market for the first time since 1982. That date is quite important as the interior is perhaps more in keeping with the eighties than the thirties. Don’t let that put you off though, decor os decor, easily changed over time. The structure is the main thing – and that’s here, along with the distinctive flat roof and some period features.
Set within three acres, the extensive accommodation is arranged over two floors, including a formal entrance hall, garden room, inner hall, cloakroom, sitting room, dining room, family room, snug, kitchen (with adjoining dining/breakfast area), larder, utility room, secondary cloakroom and a storage cellar on the lower level.
Upstairs, you’ll find the landing, the ‘principal suite’ (bedroom, bathroom and dressing room), a guest suite (bedroom, sitting area and bathroom) plus a third suite with bedroom, dressing area and a shower room.
A ‘leisure complex’ was added in 1983, which is accessed directly from the house, featuring an indoor swimming pool, summer room, jacuzzi, sauna, shower, and a cloakroom/shower room. There is also a tennis court within the grounds, a drive to the double garage and all those gardens.
High living with a period feel. Not cheap though, with an asking price of £1,395,000.

It looks like the work of Harrogate’s finest (well, only) exponent of art deco, Colonel R B Armistead. The curved corners, semi-circular bays and general air of solidity can also be found in his best known work, White Lodge, in Hookstone Road, Harrogate.
