This substantial Victorian townhouse offers around 2,078 sq ft of characterful living in the centre of Ripon. Four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms give genuine flexibility for family life, home working or a city-centre holiday let. Original features — exposed beams, ornamental fireplaces and timber shutters — remain prominent while modern upgrades add practical comfort.
Practical benefits include a fitted dining kitchen with Indian slate flooring, a utility with ground-floor WC, triple glazing and a new combi boiler installed February 2025. The house is chain free and offered freehold, with very low flood risk and off-street parking to the rear that has been used by the current owners for many years.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should be considered: the rear courtyard is small, the masonry is traditional solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and the exterior shows period roof and pointing that may need maintenance or restoration. Broadband and mobile signals are average and the area has a mixed local school picture.
Overall this is a rare, large city-centre home for buyers who value period character and generous internal space, and who accept some exterior and thermal-improvement work may be required. It will suit purchasers seeking a distinctive main residence, lock-up-and-leave city base or an income-producing town-centre property.
