Hidden away in the clock tower of this landmark Harrogate building is a really special home. From the moment you arrive at St. Luke's Court you will feel just how unique this location and building are, there's nothing quite like it anywhere in the Harrogate area.\r

\r
An entrance hall and cloaks store leads you down a hallway to a lovely double bedroom, arched stone windows to two sides, and window seats from which to watch the world go by.
