Ripley, Harrogate, HG3

This gorgeous two-bedroom Grade II listed cottage, situated in the highly sought-after estate village of Ripley, offers a delightful blend of historic charm and modern comforts. Boasting a generous and beautifully landscaped rear garden - ideal for entertaining - it also features a characterful stone-built store.

Recently renovated and thoughtfully extended, the cottage is rich in period features, including exposed ceiling beams and an original open fireplace in the inviting sitting room. The entrance hall opens into this warm, character-filled space, which also benefits from a handy understairs storage cupboard.

To the rear, an impressive open-plan dining kitchen is fitted with a range of units and finished with elegant limestone tiled flooring. There's ample space for a large dining table, making it a perfect hub for family life or social gatherings. A stable back door leads out to a remarkably private garden, primarily laid to flagstone patio - offering a superb outdoor entertaining space. At the far end of the garden stands a versatile stone outbuilding with loft space above, ideal for storing garden furniture, bikes, and more.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a spacious principal bedroom featuring an original fireplace, along with a second bedroom - well suited as a guest room, home office, nursery, or dressing room. A stylish house bathroom with an over-bath shower completes the accommodation.
