2 bed Flat For Sale £675,000
A superb two bedroom second floor penthouse apartment in the original building of this luxury retirement village, which boasts beautifully landscaped and maintained grounds
Description
A superb ‘Penthouse’ two-bedroom, second floor apartment, with stunning views over the village
and gardens, which is the largest in the complex at 161.1m² (1,743ft²). This immaculate property
includes Amtico parquet flooring, bespoke fitted bookcases in the living area and floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes in both bedrooms. Located in The Red House Building, this apartment offers easy access to the formal gardens and communal areas. Renovation of The Red House was completed in 2019. The superbly refurbished house has been created with everything you could wish for. Here you will find the exceptional communal facilities (comprising reception hall, lounge and bar, restaurant, library, hair and beauty salon, treatment room, hobbies room, and gym). There are large windows, high ceilings and other original features throughout, and the beautiful landscaped gardens are there for you to enjoy and relax in.
Location
The Red House benefits from a tranquil and leafy environment, but with proximity to the modern
amenities and rich culture of Ripon City Centre, just over half a mile away. Ripon offers all the shops, cafés, restaurants and conveniences you'd expect from a city, including Booths Supermarket, Marks & Spencers food hall and Morrisons, whilst still retaining a unique character and charm.
For sports enthusiasts, the Ripon City Golf Club and Ripon Cricket Club are within easy reach, and
it's just two and a half miles to a lively day at the races. If it's a more leisurely walk you're after, this is the perfect location to take in the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, stopping at one of the many country pubs along the way. Nidderdale, deservedly designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies on the border of the National Park and is close to the World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey.
