A Home with History & Heart
Nestled in a peaceful cul-de-sac, overlooking the scenic Doffcocker Lodge, Number 4 Ripon Drive is a charming 1930s semi-detached family home awaiting its next chapter. Brimming with potential, this home is perfectly liveable yet offers the opportunity for modernisation to truly make it your own. With only three previous owners, a friendly neighbourhood, and the added benefit of being chain-free, this property is ready to welcome its next residents.

Welcome Home
Park up on the driveway in front of the garage and follow the neat, block-paved pathway leading to the front door. Step into the handy entrance porch before moving through to the main hallway, where a warm and inviting atmosphere awaits.

Beneath the staircase, a convenient guest cloakroom is neatly tucked away, complete with a WC—an ideal addition for busy family living.

A Light-Filled Living Space
To the left, discover the elegant living room, bathed in natural light from the expansive bay window that frames views of the front garden. This bright and airy space offers a comfortable retreat, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

A Room for Gathering
Next door, the family sitting and dining room provides a versatile space for entertaining and everyday life. A large window in the dining area overlooks the rear garden, inviting in the picturesque greenery, while the sitting area is centred around a cosy gas fire with a feature surround, offering warmth and charm.

Practical & Functional Kitchen
Adjacent to the dining room, the galley-style kitchen is fitted with white wall and base units, complemented by dark contrasting laminate worktops. A stainless steel sink and drainer sit beneath one of the two windows, enhancing the bright and practical workspace. The kitchen also features an integrated electric oven and grill, a four-ring halogen hob with a stainless steel extractor above, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a freestanding fridge-freezer. A uPVC door opens directly onto the rear garden, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Rest & Relaxation Upstairs
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, each designed for comfort. The main bedroom is a spacious retreat featuring a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. The second bedroom is a generously sized double room with a built-in storage cupboard, stylish laminate flooring, and breath-taking views over Doffcocker Lodge. The third bedroom is a cosy single room, thoughtfully designed with a built-in dressing table and drawers, perfect for a child’s bedroom or home office.

Shower Room & Separate WC
The home features a practical shower room equipped with a bidet, a wall-hung basin, and a corner shower unit with white tiling. Adjacent to this is a separate WC, providing additional convenience for busy mornings. While functional, these spaces offer scope for modernisation, allowing new owners to bring their own style and upgrades.

A Garden with a View
Step outside to discover a beautifully maintained rear garden that perfectly complements the home. A spacious, flagged patio provides ample room for outdoor furniture—ideal for summer barbecues and alfresco dining. Rockery steps lead down to a lush lawned area and a secondary patio, where a charming summerhouse is tucked into one corner, offering a tranquil escape.
