The Appeal of our Home - The Owners Insight
When looking to downsize from my previous home, Fairlawns offered a level of grandeur which felt familiar. The security of the development is highly advantageous for a lock up and leave which is what I was looking for. The local area is wonderful, being on the doorstep of Ripon with the local corner store being Marks and Spencer, Harrogate and Northallerton are 20-25 minutes away which both offer great transport links to London.
Situation and Amenties
Fairlawns is an exclusive development which was originally a conversion of a beautiful manor on the outskirts of the village of Sharow. The popular village is a short distance from Ripon and as such benefits from having a wide range of amenities on the doorstep. Sharow is a friendly village with monthly get togethers in the village hall including family fish and chip suppers, Saturday afternoon movie viewings for the children and even a ‘pub night’. There are a range of amenities in the village including Village Hall, Cricket pitch, and primary school and the village is within the catchment for the highly sought after Ripon Grammar School. Ripon has a huge range of amenities and is only a couple of minutes drive. These include independent shops and eateries, boutiques and a number of high street shops.
