Standing proudly in the village of Ripley, near the exclusive Victorian spa town of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, is Chantry House, a six-bedroom detached house bursting with character and history.
Available for sale for only the second time since its construction almost 200 years ago, much of Chantry House dates back to the 1830’s and was built on the site of the village’s original Chantry which would have previously housed local priests and provided education to the local village and surrounding community.
The property has been beautifully restored over the years, and the bespoke kitchen is an example of how period features have been married with modern touches as gold hardware accents the dark, chic units and the original stone fireplace has been restored to remain a striking feature in the space.
Alongside the kitchen, three large reception rooms and a Victorian conservatory are on the ground floor where a unique ballroom was also added to the home in the Victorian era. Upstairs, across the first and second floors, the principal bedroom, five further double bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the accommodation.
Two private courtyard gardens provide picturesque places to unwind outside, and with Ripley often described as one of the most desirable places to live in Yorkshire, the local area has plenty to offer. For example, the gothic town hall is a great place to enjoy films, play sports, attend exercise classes, and concerts while craft shops, the gin copper distillery, Bettys Café Tea Rooms, and an art gallery can also be found nearby.
