Skellbank, Ripon, HG4 2PT

An excellent semi-detached house occupying a delightful, non-estate, position opposite the southern entrance to Spa Gardens and a short stroll from Ripon's historic market place.  With excellent amenities, schools for all ages and delightful countryside walks nearby, the location is sure to appeal to buyers who value accessibility and convenience.

The house takes full advantage of its position, enjoying green aspects towards Spa Gardens from the front and a favourable southerly orientation at the rear, allowing plentiful natural light to complement the neutral décor and flowing configuration.  The double doors leading from the dining kitchen to the garden add a valuable sense of space and light during winter months and an enjoyable link with the outdoors on warmer days.  

Our client's decision to downsize, after enjoying the home for many years, creates a rare opportunity in the current market for discerning buyers who are looking for a manageable property in a convenient Ripon location.  There could also be an exciting opportunity to re-configure or extend the existing layout to suit personal requirements, subject to any planning or building regulation consent that may be needed.

SOLO SAY: Combining typical design characteristics from the era, including good proportions and light, airy accommodation, this lovely home provides well-balanced and versatile living space perfect for the needs of couples or families, working from home or entertaining.
