3 bed terraced house for sale

Quarry Moor Lane, Ripon HG4

A rare opportunity to acquire this most attractive traditional home occupying an enviable non-estate position, set back from the road behind a gated, block-paved driveway. The area is conveniently placed for the city centre, schools for all ages and various travel options.

Proudly displaying the design characteristics of the period, this charming property retains a wonderfully authentic character and offers typically generous proportions and levels of natural light. The house combines a bright, welcoming ambience with great practicality and versatility. The house features a reconfigured first floor and well-designed loft conversion which has been continually used as a third bedroom by the owners but does not have a modern compliance certificate. Original plans are available to view.

This much-loved property has clearly been well-maintained over the years but now offers the successful buyer a blank canvas to continue to improve, re-configure or extend the living space to suit their needs, subject to any planning or building regulations as may be required.

Solo Say: The post-war housing boom left an indelible mark on townscapes across the country and homes from this era remain understandably popular with a wide range of buyers who appreciate traditional design combined with a homely ambience that is so often missing from new houses. Lovingly held by the same family for generations, this sale represents not only the end of an era but also an exciting opportunity for the successful buyers.
