5 bed detached house for sale

Palace Road, Ripon, North Yorkshire HG4

Fantastic five bedroom detached property on palace road!

Originally a modest 1960s single-storey three-bedroom bungalow, this exceptional family home has been completely reimagined and substantially extended by its current owners into a striking, highly versatile two-storey residence of approximately 335 square metres. The result is a light-filled, architecturally distinctive property that perfectly balances modern living with timeless character – ideal for growing families or those seeking space, style, and income potential in one outstanding package.

At its heart lies a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that flows effortlessly and forms the natural hub of the home. Five well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms offer generous, flexible accommodation throughout.

The property’s distinctive Swiss chalet-inspired design is particularly striking at the rear, where beautiful larch cladding, expansive glazing and a covered balcony off the principal bedroom frame panoramic views over the garden and open countryside. A truly unique, architect-designed staircase serves as a dramatic centrepiece, adding wow-factor and individuality in abundance.

A standout feature is the separate single-storey annexe, which is separate from the main dwelling and capable of being entirely independent. It features its own living area, sleeping accommodation and shower room, and has been successfully operated as a profitable Airbnb – offering immediate potential for additional income or independent guest/family accommodation. A rare and valuable asset.

Outside, the generous plot of approximately one-third of an acre has been professionally landscaped to create beautiful, low-maintenance gardens to both front and rear. Sweeping lawns, planted borders and mature planting provide privacy and year-round appeal, while the substantial driveway offers ample off-road parking and turning space, with clear potential to add a triple-bay garage (subject to planning).
