Located in the heart of Ripon with a direct view of Ripon Cathedral, this compact two-bedroom mid-terrace blends period character with central convenience. The ground floor offers an open lounge/diner leading to a fitted kitchen with integrated hob and oven; upstairs has two modest bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. The house is freehold and suits buyers seeking a city-centre base or a straightforward buy-to-let.
The property’s strengths are its location and low-maintenance outdoor space: a shared, paved courtyard provides a private spot for a small table and chairs while being easy to manage. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, double glazing is already installed, and council tax is low — practical benefits for first-time owners or investors aiming for predictable running costs.
Buyers should note the home is small (approximately 328 sq ft) with compact rooms, so it’s best suited to a single occupant, couple or investor rather than a family needing lots of space. The brick walls are original solid construction and likely uninsulated, so buyers wanting higher thermal performance should factor in wall insulation options and potential upgrade works. The rear exterior shows some outdoor piping and moss growth, indicating minor maintenance may be required.
Overall, this traditional Victorian terrace offers an affordable, centrally located entry into Ripon’s market. It’s a practical, characterful property with scope for modest improvements to increase comfort and energy efficiency.
