4 bed town house to rent

The Old Grandstand, Whitcliffe Lane HG4

As part of an exclusive development of just four townhouses, expertly converted by the renowned firm Artium, The Old Grandstand are set to become striking family homes. Overlooking Ripon Racecourse and formerly a school, these residences blend modern comforts with elegant features, including high ceilings and expansive feature windows, offering bright and spacious accommodation arranged over three floors.

Upon entering through a welcoming hallway, the layout flows seamlessly into a stylish open-plan dining kitchen, complete with a front-aspect bay window, Amtico parquet flooring, and white Shaker-style wall and base units. The kitchen is further enhanced by Silestone worktops in Dessert Silver, premium integrated AEG and Zanussi appliances, and a built-in wine chiller. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room featuring additional Shaker-style storage and an integrated Zanussi washing machine.

The ground floor also boasts a contemporary cloakroom and a generously proportioned sitting room, finished with Amtico parquet flooring and a plush carpet inset. French doors lead out to a raised terrace, with steps descending to the rear garden and adjacent parking.

On the first floor is a spacious principal bedroom with a bay window and sleek en-suite shower room. An additional double bedroom benefits from French doors opening onto a private Juliet balcony, while a modern family bathroom completes the level.

The second floor houses two further well-appointed bedrooms. Throughout, all bedrooms feature neutral carpets, while the bathrooms, shower rooms, and cloakrooms are fitted with high-quality white Villeroy & Boch fixtures.

With undeniable kerb appeal, these homes are approached via a driveway that winds through well-maintained communal gardens. To the rear, the townhouse benefits from two allocated parking spaces and EV charging point. The landscaped gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and include a raised timber deck terrace—perfect for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining.
