This double-fronted Victorian detached cottage blends period character with a full modern renovation. The ground floor opens to a large, refitted living kitchen with granite worktops and bi-folding doors that bring the rear garden and countryside light into the heart of the house. Two reception rooms, a utility/boot room and a ground-floor shower/WC add practical family living space.
Set on a large plot with a private lawned garden and a generous gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles, the home sits in a tucked-away spot adjacent to school sports fields. Ripon’s city centre amenities, shops and highly ranked Ripon Grammar School are within easy reach, making the location a strong draw for families seeking space and convenience.
The renovation has delivered gas central heating, sealed-unit double glazing and a modern kitchen, so much of the day-to-day work is done. That said, the property’s solid brick construction (as-built) means wall insulation is assumed absent; prospective buyers should consider thermal upgrade costs. Council tax is described as expensive and broadband/mobile signals are average — relevant for home workers.
Overall this is a spacious, well-presented three-bedroom family home offering a rare blend of period detail, contemporary living and substantial outdoor space. Buyers seeking a move-in-ready property with further potential to improve energy performance will find this an attractive opportunity.
