This ground-floor, newly redecorated two-bedroom apartment offers compact, single-floor living ideal for buyers seeking a bungalow alternative. At approximately 412 sq ft the layout is economical, with a good-sized living room, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom ready to use from day one.
Practical comforts include double glazing, gas central heating and fresh floor coverings, keeping running costs modest; council tax band B and a below-average service charge (£170). The property is offered chain free with an exceptionally long lease (967 years) and free permit parking in the private car park just off-street.
The location is a short walk to Ripon city centre and local amenities, with regular buses to Harrogate and Leeds — useful for those who prefer public transport. There is scope to open up the kitchen into the living room to create an open-plan feel, subject to necessary permissions and consents.
Be aware of material drawbacks: the apartment is small and will suit buyers looking to downsize rather than those needing generous space. The wider area records higher-than-average crime levels and broadband speeds are only average. The clustered layout and communal setting mean some reliance on shared maintenance and nearby parking controls.
