INTRODUCTION

West Oaks is a fabulous home nestled at the western edge of the tranquil village of Galphay which is 4 miles from the city of Ripon. The property offers beautifully proportioned living accommodation throughout. At its heart is a wonderful living kitchen and breakfast room, a sociable and inviting space that forms the natural hub of the home. There are no fewer than three reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for formal entertaining, relaxed family living, and everything in between. A dedicated study completes the ground floor, ideal for those working from home.

To the first floor, the property offers three well-appointed bedrooms served by two bathrooms, ensuring comfortable accommodation for families and guests alike.

The property also lends itself well for further extension which would create additional bedroom space subject to the necessary planning permissions being granted. Feasibility studies have been undertaken for the addition of 2 further master suites with little increase in footprint.

Outside the house has a superb garden with manicured lawns, sitting areas and well stocked flower beds. The large vegetable garden, orchard and woodland complete the picture for idyllic country living.

ENVIRONS

Galphay is a quintessentially English village, centred around a classic village green and surrounded by the glorious North Yorkshire countryside and the warm and welcoming local public house is within easy walking distance of the property. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the village enjoys excellent access to a wide range of amenities and attractions.

The cathedral city of Ripon lies just a short drive away, offering a full range of shops, restaurants and services, as well as highly regarded schooling. The area is further blessed with some of the finest heritage destinations in the country, including the magnificent Grantley Hall — one of England's most celebrated luxury hotels and spas — and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal, one of the greatest monastic ruins in Europe. The wider Yorkshire Dales, with its spectacular landscapes and wealth of walking and leisure opportunities, lies on the doorstep.
