A rare opportunity to acquire this substantial, double-fronted, semi-detached family home offering fabulous indoor and outdoor versatility, occupying a delightful corner position in this prestigious location at the western approach to Ripon.  The wonderful aspects and proximity to open countryside give a distinctly semi-rural feel to the setting, belying the great accessibility and convenience of being within walking distance of excellent schools and amenities.

At approximately 1900 sq. ft, the flexibility and configuration of the accommodation is sure to have wide appeal but discerning buyers might spot the possibility to re-configure or extend the layout, subject to the necessary consents.  A personal viewing is recommended to all prospective buyers who value space, individuality, location and convenience.
