Harrogate's Alexa House guest house sold
The Alexa House guest house on Ripon Road has been sold and is now expected to be converted into a home.
Sandra Doherty, the owner, said the Victorian property had been on the market for just five days before a buyer was found. It was sold for an undisclosed sum.
Ms Doherty said she was "delighted" to have sold the building, which she has owned for 15 years.
