Description

This centrally located two-bedroom period cottage offers a unique investment opportunity with considerable potential for renovation. Spanning three floors, the spacious interior is complemented by useful cellar storage and an unexpectedly generous garden that provides a tranquil retreat from urban life. While the property would benefit from modernisation, it already includes essential features such as gas central heating and double glazing, alongside recently completed electrical works that comply with current regulations. Conveniently situated in close proximity to the heart of Ripon, residents will enjoy easy access to amenities, dining options, and recreational facilities like the new swimming baths. The picturesque riverside walks and the iconic cathedral are mere moments away, making this location highly desirable for both lifestyle and commuting purposes via the A1(M). The ground floor welcomes you into a living room featuring a charming stone fireplace, leading to a kitchen equipped with fitted units and space for the heating boiler. A rear door provides access to the garden while stairs lead up to the first floor where a sizable bedroom with fitted storage awaits, along with a bathroom featuring both a bathtub and separate shower cubicle. The top floor boasts another spacious bedroom showcasing exposed beams and delightful rooftop views. Outside, gated access opens up to an open courtyard with two brick outbuildings. The expansive garden beyond presents an excellent opportunity for transformation into an outdoor oasis with careful attention. With no onward chain, this property is primed for those ready to invest their time and effort into unlocking its true potential.
