The Red House has attractive and peaceful grounds and gardens spread over four acres, with generous outside terraces and seating areas, plus an area of raised beds for use by owners in the village in a delightful setting overlooking the lawns and woodland, the perfect place to exercise green fingers.

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 & Spencer Food Hall, Morrisons Supermarket, and a cinema, whilst still retaining a unique character and charm.
For sports enthusiasts, the Ripon City Golf Club, Ripon Cricket Club, Ripon RUFC and the new Leisure Centre 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.
