2 bedroom house

**** SET IN APPROXIMATELY 3 ACRES OF LAND ****

An charming detached cottage occupying this idyllic location, full of character and offering enormous scope for further expansion and improvement.

Accommodation - The property occupies an idyllic location within a short distance of the market town of Ripon and offering quick and easy access to Fountains Abbey as well as Brimham Rocks.

The property is surrounded by stunning dry stone walls and crucially is being offered for sale with both vacant possession and no onward chain.

Internally the property is entered via a front entrance porch which leads through into a spacious lounge with fireplace set on a tiled surround. There is an electric storage heater in addition to a double fronted high level storage cupboard, and an access to the staircase which leads to the first floor accommodation.

Beyond the lounge is a sitting room again having a fitted fireplace with tiled hearth and surround. There is a single radiator, electric heater and exposed beam ceiling. There is an internal store/pantry and the internal ground floor accommodation is completed by a breakfast kitchen which has a range of built-in base units to two sides with laminated worktops and inset stainless steel sink unit with separate pedestal wash hand basin. There is an electric point for cooking as well as ample space for freestanding fridge and freezer units. The kitchen includes tile splashbacks, an exposed beam ceiling and fitted breakfast bar. A uPVC framed double glazed door leads out onto the front garden beyond.

To the first floor are two substantial double bedrooms both of which come with radiators. Bedroom 1 has a loft hatch as well as a built-in over stairs airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. Located off bedroom 1 is a bathroom which has a traditional suite comprising a low flush WC, pedestal wash hand basin and inset bath. There is a separate walk-in shower cubicle with tile splashbacks in addition to a Velux roof light, extractor fan and range of built-in wardrobes.

Crucially the property has an adjoining storage room with mezzanine which in the opinion of the writer would easily convert into further internal living accommodation set over two floors.

To The Outside - The property is accessed off the B6265 Ripon Road enjoying a raised position with stunning panoramic views. There is a pillared and gated entrance through a dry stone wall which in turn leads on to the entrance drive which leads up to the property. The driveway opens out onto a courtyard and hardstanding which provides additional off-street parking and in turn gives access to the property’s range of outbuildings.

There is a stone built general purpose store in addition to an adjoining coal house & WC. The property also benefits from a double fronted multi purpose store.

A pathway leads across the front elevation of the property and steps up onto a raised front garden which is laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and a fenced side boundary.

Included within the sale is approximately 3 acres of superb paddock land with boundaries which are clearly defined again with dry stone walls and hedging. When considered with the outbuildings, the land will be ideal for those with a keen equestrian interest.

There is no doubt that the property offers enormous potential for further expansion and improvement and an inspection of both the internal and external accommodation is strongly recommended to appreciate the true quality of the accommodation on offer.
