Kirkby Avenue, Ripon, HG4 2DR

Presented to the open market for the first time since new, SOLO are proud to offer this wonderful detached home, occupying a prime location on this particularly sought-after development close to countryside, schools and Ripon amenities.

The house has been well-maintained over the years and treated to various upgrades to more modern standards, resulting in a pleasing character where stylish features combine beautifully with the homely ambience.  Re-configuring the original kitchen and dining room has created a stunning open-plan living space flooded with natural light and offering great versatility for sociable family times, relaxing or entertaining, and with the thoughtful addition of bi-folding doors to make the most of the rear garden.
