Terraced house for sale in Bondgate, Ripon HG4

An excellent opportunity to buy this unique Victiorian terraced house with an alluring character and an abundance of charm, delightfully situated in a popular neighbourhood just south of Ripon city centre, close to the cathedral, picturesque riverside pathways and an excellent choice of local amenities.

The phrase "viewing essential" is particularly apt in the case of this deceptive home where the irregular shape and unconventional layout not only add a quirky character to the house but create a plethora of living options that typical terraced houses can't provide. The rare provision of three first floor bedrooms will no doubt be of great appeal to growing families but also increases the versatility for those who prefer an extra reception room or need space to work from home.

The good proportions are highlighted by the owner's choice of light neutral décor and recently fitted new carpets in a contrasting and contemporary shade of grey. Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, a useful cellar and a dedicated car parking space in a courtyard at the back. This superb residence offers a fabulous opportunity for a wide range of buyers who are looking for space and flexibility at an affordable price, without compromising on individuality or the mystique of a period home.

Stepping inside reveals a well-proportioned sitting room with a window to the front and a staircase leading to the first floor. The kitchen provides enough space for a table and a unique range of units handcrafted by the owner in an imaginative and earthy style and offering practical work-space and storage together with an integrated oven, hob, fridge and sink unit. Steps lead down to a useful cellar. On the first floor, the landing leads into bedroom one where ample natural light and generous proportions also make this an ideal candidate for a first floor sitting room. There is a further double bedroom to the rear, another good size bedroom to the front which could make a great study/office, and a house bathroom with a white suite including a bath with shower over.

There is a car parking space located in a courtyard at the rear of the house but there is no other outside space with the property.

The property forms part of an attractive row of period terraced houses (where numbers 16 to 21 are Grade II Listed) in a popular area of Ripon. Local amenities include a Morissons Local and leisure centre while near by, you can find some delightful riverside walks along the river Skell, leading to the Canal basin and countryside beyond. The new residential development opposite will undoubtably have a positive impact on the immediate street scene and add further to the desirability of the neighbourhood. The locality is conveniently placed a short distance from the city centre where you'll find a wide range of amenities, shops, restaurants situated around the historic market place. Ripon is ideally placed for travel throughout the area, with an excellent local road network and regular bus services.
