Description

This two-bedroom mid-terraced cottage has a ground-floor living room and kitchen/diner, with a small enclosed courtyard at the rear. The property is offered with no onward chain and is described as needing updating in some areas, giving a purchaser scope to refresh the décor to their own requirements. The living room has wooden flooring and a log burner. The kitchen/diner includes fitted units, an understairs storage area, a cast-iron fireplace and a door to the courtyard. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower over. Stairs from the main bedroom lead to a partially converted loft space with a skylight and eaves storage; any further conversion would be subject to the necessary consents. Gas central heating and double-glazed windows are stated. The rear courtyard is enclosed and includes a brick-built store, with pedestrian access back to the street. Street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The property is within reach of Ripon city-centre amenities, supermarkets and the bus station, including services on the 36 route to Harrogate and Leeds.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £170,000, this Ripon cottage has a usable starting point and plenty of character: exposed timber flooring, fireplaces and a log burner, plus a small enclosed courtyard. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom finishes are dated, and the staining and damaged-looking finish around a bedroom window should be investigated before making good. The estimated £6,000–£14,000 of work points to a light updating project, with scope to refresh the decor and courtyard while retaining the period features.

The partially converted loft adds flexibility, though any further conversion or formal bedroom use needs verification. The score is held back in part because floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the available information also does not establish the property’s resale value after improvements.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes across the house while keeping the exposed timber flooring, fireplaces and log burner as character features.
  • Investigate the staining around a bedroom window, then make good and redecorate as appropriate.
  • Improve the enclosed courtyard with cleaning and routine maintenance; the brick-built store and pedestrian access add practical value.
