Palace Road, Ripon, HG4 1ET

An enchanting flat occupying an enviable top floor position and forming part a particularly impressive crescent of Victorian houses, conveniently situated within a pleasant stroll of the historic market place and delightful walks into the nearby countryside. 

Attracted by the location and great versatility, our client could clearly see the potential and established a stunning home with a truly individual charm.  By re-configuring the accommodation, they created lighter, more welcoming and sociable living spaces, with the cosy sitting room and adjoining dining hall flowing effortlessly into the high quality kitchen.  Two good size bedrooms remain and offer the successful buyer the flexibility for a range of uses to suit their requirements. 

SOLO Say:  The top floor position provides an unexpected sense of privacy and opening the deep sitting room window allows birdsong from the tree canopy and soft sounds of the city to add to the peaceful atmosphere.  The property is living proof that, with attention to detail and thoughtful presentation, conversion flats can successfully complement the character of historic buildings. 

From the communal hall on the ground floor, continue up the stairs to the first floor.  On entering the flat, an impressive staircase takes you to the second floor where you'll find a spacious and versatile dining landing with fitted corner seating and space for a table.  The sitting room is the perfect space to relax, with a calming ambiance and a lovely, south facing aspect towards mature trees.  The striking kitchen was beautifully fitted by David Charles of Ripon to a bespoke design and offers plenty of workspace and storage with integrated Neff appliances.  An inner hall leads to the bedrooms.  Bedroom one is the former lounge and is a great size, having a high ceiling and feature windows to the front, bedroom two has a fitted wardrobe and window to the front.  The bright bathroom offers a white suite including a bath with shower over, a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and additional storage cupboards.

There is an allocated car parking space at the rear of the building.  

The flat forms part of a magnificent crescent of Victorian houses stretching from North Road, past the historic Victoria clock tower, into Palace Road.  A wide range of shops and services can be found a short walk or drive away in the centre of Ripon, and there are numerous larger supermarkets within easy reach.  The city offers a wide range of schools for all ages and a choice of first class leisure facilities.  Commuters and regular travellers can take advantage of the excellent local road network, with the eastern by-pass and links to the A1(M) providing links to the wider region.
