YOU know the game: what three words best describe you?

For Pinehurst, striking, stunning and unique most definitely fit the bill... but they don't go anywhere close to painting a complete picture or doing this wonderful family home justice.

Perfectly positioned within delightful established gardens and grounds on a plot which extends to one-and-a-half acres, Pinehurst has the big three when it comes to property: a great location and setting, a stunning facade and a wealth of beautifully presented and spacious accommodation.

But don't be fooled. While Pinehurst may look like an old world charmer from the outside it has been the subject of a full programme of renovations which has left no stone unturned to create what now forms arguably the finest example of contemporary living on one of Ripon's most premium roads.

Finished to the highest of standards the renovation has – as all good renovations do – incorporated a wealth of original features into its new incarnation. In the case of Pinehurst, this has included restored and refurbished open working fires.

This immaculately presented property offers stylish accommodation extending to over 4,700sq.ft arranged over three floors, in addition to a useful cellar, triple garage with electric doors and outbuildings.

To use a well worn cliche, first impressions count – and at Pinehurst's could hardly be better, thanks to an impressive reception hall with part mosaic tiled flooring, half panelled walls and an open fire with tiled fire surround.

Off the hall are a cloakroom as well as a study, formal dining room and two fabulous beautiful light-filled sitting rooms, each with a large bay window, feature fire surround and open working fire.

To the rear of the property is a fabulous open-plan dining kitchen which stretches the full width of the house with solid wood cabinetry by Grove House Bespoke Kitchens in a contrasting painted finish, high end Bosch integrated appliances, a Groche combined boiling tap with cold and sparkling water and a large custom-made central island unit which creates a focal point in this impressive space. In other words, the kitchen has absolutely everything even the most discerning of buyers could hope for.

Separate sitting and dining areas flank the central kitchen area, with a full row of bi-fold doors leading out to the rear terrace and landscaped gardens.

Completing the downstairs layout is a separate utility room.

The first floor landing with half height panelled walls leads to a stunning master bedroom with views over the garden, bespoke fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with underfloor electric heating and a heated shower tray.

There are three further double bedrooms on this floor – one with an en-suite bathroom, plus a luxurious family bathroom. All of the bathrooms in the property benefit from underfloor heating.

Upstairs again is the excellent top floor comprises a sitting/study area and en-suite shower room plus spacious bedroom. Currently utilised as a teenager's suite it would also make the perfect guest suite.

Outside private electric gates guard the entrance to the property, which is reached via a crunch gravel driveway which leads you to a parking and turning area suitable for numerous vehicles to the front of the house. It also provides access to the triple garage.

A particular special feature of Pinehurst is its generous plot with mature trees and hedging surrounding the boundaries to provide a high degree of privacy.

The majority of the extensive landscaped gardens are laid to lawn, with perfectly placed seating areas to follow the sun and a beautiful original folly. To the back corner of the garden is a greenhouse and a timber framed barn made from French green oak, while there's also a veg garden for those who fancy growing their own.

Pinehurst is, somewhat aptly, located on Palace Road, Ripon and is on the market at offers in excess of £2m.
