Located in Yorkshire's desirable city of Ripon, this quirky cottage is ideally placed to explore both the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales National Parks. Spend mornings wandering its rich heritage market square before taking a tour of its 7th-century cathedral or three popular museums. Continuing your historic tour of the area, you'll find Fountains Abbey, Grantley Hall, and Newby Hall & Gardens all within 5 miles, making them ideal stops for history enthusiasts. Further from the property is the Nidderdale National Landscape. This remarkably beautiful area offers excellent walking spots, including the 38-mile route, the Six Dales Trail (starts 12 miles away), which takes in some of Yorkshire's finest scenery and is perfect for birdwatching and mountain biking too. Harrogate and Knaresborough are both within 12 miles of each other and offer a range of eateries and activities.
Step inside this chocolate-box cottage and into the charming lounge area, where fresh, light colours complement cosy furnishings. Curl up beside the Smart TV before heading into the kitchen/diner, where sage-green design creates a delightful space for food prep, and modern appliances make cooking a breeze. The wooden dining table and mismatched chairs are ideal for family feasts. Downstairs, a quirky cellar acts as a games room with a games console and TV for younger guests. Upstairs, the three restful bedrooms each have their own character and charm. On the first floor, choose between a king-size with canal views and a twin, while on the second floor, a fantastic king-size beneath the eaves offers an open en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. A stylish shower room with a WC sits on the first floor.
At the rear of the property, a pretty courtyard garden features seating for outdoor dining, and at the front of the home, a picnic bench overlooks the trickling canal. This beautiful home offers on-street parking for 1 car with additional spaces usually available on the same street.
