Our family home

Our house is at the end of a modern terrace of four houses built with direct access from the front and the back onto the Old College Lawns.We are at the end of the cul de sac and so there is no passing traffic. We live in Ripon, close to the Market Square and the Cathedral. There is a private sunny garden with a patio and garden furniture. Bikes can be stored securely in the utility room. There is private parking for 2 cars and extra dedicated visitor parking available free within 200 yards. The ground floor of the house is newly extended to provide a large kitchen/ diner with bi fold doors leading into the sunny garden. On this floor too there is a spacious sitting room which can also be used as a dining room. There is also a utility room and a cloakroom. The utility room can be used as safe storage for bikes. On the first floor there is a sitting room with triple aspect windows overlooking the Old College Lawns and the master bedroom with an en-suite shower room and French doors leading onto a balcony which gets morning and late afternoon sun. The balcony has a table and chairs and views across to the escarpment edge of the North Yorkshire Moors.
On the second floor there is one double and one small bedroom with bunk beds and the house bathroom.
There is another double bedroom on that floor which is currently used as a studio but could be used as a single bedroom.
