Low-maintenance three-bed home near shops, bus links and Ripon Grammar School.
Chain-free, long-term single ownership
A neatly presented three-bedroom semi in a quietly popular south Ripon road, offered chain-free and ideal for someone seeking a low-hassle retirement home. The house has been a much-loved family property for over five decades and sits on a decent plot with a private, low-maintenance rear garden and driveway leading to a detached garage.
The layout is straightforward: entrance hall, bay-fronted living room, kitchen/dining room with utility lobby, and three bedrooms upstairs served by a single family bathroom. The rear bedroom enjoys pleasant outlooks over nearby nature reserve land. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed though the install date is unknown.
Notable positives include very low local crime, no flooding risk, affordable council tax and good access to Ripon city centre amenities and strong local schools. The property is compact (about 784 sq ft) and constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s, so it will suit buyers seeking an easy-to-manage home rather than extensive living space.
Practical drawbacks to note: the house is relatively small for a three-bedroom home and has only one bathroom. The construction and finishes are aging and there is scope — and cost — for modernisation or extension if greater space or contemporary fittings are required. Double glazing install date is unknown and some updating of services or decor is likely after long-term family ownership.
