4 bed detached house for sale

Doublegates Avenue, Ripon HG4

An excellent detached family home located in an ever-popular and family-friendly residential area on the very edge of Ripon. The property occupies a particularly enviable position set back from the main thoroughfare and directly facing an open recreation field with delightful woodland an riverside walks beyond.

The tucked-away setting makes a wonderful first impression, adding an unexpected air of exclusivity and marking out this property as something special. The generously proportioned and versatile accommodation is complimented by patio doors to the rear garden allowing seamless indoor/outdoor living, a light kitchen with integrated appliances and luxurious bathroom fittings. The current owner has diligently maintained the house and carried out numerous improvements including opening up the sitting room and dining room, fitting a new 'combi' central heating boiler in recent years and an electric car charging point. The property is immaculately presented and attractively decorated throughout, combining bright and neutral tones with a tasteful flair, resulting in a property that is eye-catching, homely and practical.

Stepping inside reveals a welcoming hallway with staircase to the first floor and a useful downstairs toilet. A study, off to the left, adds to the versatility and could serve a variety of purposes. Continue to the breakfast kitchen and you'll find a comprehensive range of units with granite work-surfaces, integrated appliances, door to the rear and an under-stair cupboard. The through sitting room and dining area is superbly configured for families or entertaining and includes a walk-in bay front window, patio doors to the rear and a feature fireplace with gas fire. On the first floor, the landing offers a generous cupboard housing the central heating boiler. Bedroom one enjoys a delightful open aspect and features a full length range of fitted wardrobes and the luxury of a beautifully appointed en-suite shower room. Bedroom two has the same lovely views and benefits from a good size recessed wardrobe/storage cupboard. There are two further bedrooms and a superbly appointed, modern house bathroom.
