A rare opportunity to acquire this attractive detached residence occupying a stunning, 'double-size' plot with fantastic outside space in a sought-after and convenient residential area... Enjoy a stroll into Ripon, catch a bus to Harrogate or enjoy a countryside walk towards Fountains Abbey.

Attracted by the favourable location and huge potential offered by the generous site, the vendors spotted an opportunity to enlarge the original house and create an ideal family home for their growing family. A substantial, two storey extension, adding approximately 50% more floor space to the original house, created a distinguished and individual home much more befitting the size of the plot. The re-configured accommodation now offers wonderfully flexible and versatile living space with four good bedrooms, perfect for the modern lifestyle and equally compatible for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the surroundings.

While the house itself is sure to attract a wide range of buyers, the pièce de résistance is the super-size garden which will hold great appeal to families, keen gardeners or those who enjoy the outdoors. More discerning buyers might see the potential to further extend the house to suit their own requirements or use the space to develop an annex or garden room, all subject to the necessary planning approval. If you are looking for a family house in Ripon, we strongly recommend a personal viewing of this fabulous property.
