She will lead a team that covers the spa town and surrounding areas, including Knaresborough, Killinghall, Spofforth and Ripley.

The move to the three-storey building – located on the corner of Princes Street and Albert Street – has also seen the company’s land and new homes department making Harrogate their headquarters.

d’Arcy, who has previously worked for Morgan City Living – whom Linley & Simpson acquired in 2019 – and Countrywide, said: “I’m thrilled to have joined Linley & Simpson, and in particular to be working within its new Harrogate office.

“Whilst an industry leader and one that is growing significantly, Linley & Simpson is still a business that retains its independent heritage and is very people focused. The team here is fantastic, and I’m confident that we can build upon our already strong reputation.

“The residential sales market is particularly strong in Harrogate. It has great schools, fantastic shops and restaurants and we are blessed by having The Stray and Valley Gardens here in the town centre.

“Coronavirus has also put a new emphasis on where people want to live. As a result, we are seeing an increasing number of enquiries from people looking to relocate here from the south, keen to live in a town that has countryside on its doorstep. Properties with gardens and home offices are proving incredibly popular also.”
