St. Wilfrids Road, Ripon, HG4 2AF

NO CHAIN... A most attractive period home occupying a delightfully tucked away setting in a quiet back-water conveniently located just a few moments from Ripon market place and a wide range of amenities.

SOLO SAY: With a pleasingly symmetrical, double fronted and well-proportioned facade so evocotive of the era, this wonderful period home sits perfectly in its environment and occupies a commanding position at the head of St. Wilfrid's Road.  With the aim of creating a forever home, the current owner embarked on an exhaustive programme of upgrading with great attention to detail and little regard to cost.  Work undertaken in recent years includes re-roofing, re-plumbing, re-wiring, damp proofing work, a new boiler, and re-configuring the layout to create open-plan living space with a stylish new kitchen and a larger bedroom on the first floor. 

While being careful to retain the charming features of the house, the owner's considerable investment and attention to detail has created a home of irresistable style and functionality that showcases how modern design and high-quality features should be incorporated into a character property.  Now offering beautifully appointed and versatile accommodation, the property is ready to satisfy the most discerning of buyers who appreciate a more tasteful and sympathetic approach to property presentation.

With gas fired central heating and double glazing throughout the accommodation comprises; hallway with stairs to the first floor, sitting room with fireplace having a wood burning stove and windows to two sides.  Opening up the second reception room and kitchen has created a fabulous open-plan living offering various possibilities for dining, relaxing or entertaining.  The sitting area includes a feature fireplace, a front window and access to a useful downstairs toilet.  The stunning kitchen combines sleek modern design with ergonomic practical features and includes plentiful storage and workspace together with a range of quality integrated appliances. 

Take the stairs to the first floor and turn right into a light and airy double bedroom where the two large windows are perfectly positioned to maximise the morning light.  Across the landing, you'll find another light-filled double bedroom with a front window and recessed storage cupboard.  From this bedroom, a door leads into a large bathroom with useful storage cupboard and a stylish suite including a free-standing bath, separate shower, vanity unit wash basin, toilet and heated towel rail.  We understand the landing previously connected to the bathroom but a wall was removed to create a larger bedroom.  This could be reistated if preferred.

A private car parking space is located at the side of the house.  The outside space comprises a sheltered passageway, allowing some private sitting space, which leads to a shared courtyard with shed and separate pedestrian access.   

The property forms part of an attractive neighbourhood where there is little through traffic, despite being so close to the centre.  The location is ideal for those who enjoy being in a quiet setting but with the convenience of being in walking distance of a wide range of services.  There is a Booths supermarket just a few moments away and a choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and other amenities situated around the historic market place.  The property is ideally placed for families as there are excellent schools for all ages within close proximity.  Ripon offers a choice of sporting and leisure facilities, first class schools, excellent travel options and a selection of footpaths making the most of the surrounding countryside.
