Summary - 9, Dry Soil, Blackshaw Head HX7 7JH
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Two-bedroom period home with loft room and a long private garden.
Victorian weaver’s cottage with deep-reveal windows and stone fireplace
An appealing former weaver’s cottage dating to 1810, set in sought-after Blackshaw Head with far-reaching countryside views. The living room retains period character with deep-reveal windows and a stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove; an open-plan kitchen‑diner features modern fittings and underfloor heating, opening onto a long, 35‑metre rear garden.
The house offers practical space for families or home-workers: two main bedrooms plus a converted attic/loft room with new Velux windows that works well as a guest room or office. Mains services supply water and electricity; the property is freehold and sits in a low-crime, prospering countryside area close to Hebden Bridge amenities and good local primary schools.
Buyers should note some clear maintenance and amenity considerations. The external stone walls are historic with no assumed cavity insulation; main heating relies on a boiler/radiators backed by a coal-fired multi-fuel stove and hot water from an immersion heater. Broadband is slow (around 24 Mb/s). Parking is unrestricted on-street and there are steps to both entrances, so the house is not suitable for those with limited mobility.
Overall, this is a characterful rural cottage that blends original features with useful modern upgrades, offering excellent garden space and stunning outlooks for buyers willing to accept traditional construction and some modernization to improve energy efficiency and connectivity.
