Set high on the hillside above Hebden Bridge, this stone-built cottage brings genuine period character and sweeping valley views into everyday living. Two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a breakfast kitchen give flexible space for downsizing buyers who still want separate living areas. The flagged patio and small garden offer low-maintenance outdoor space, plus off-street parking and a useful shed.
Key period features are intact: stone mullion windows, exposed beams and a striking stone fireplace create warmth and character. The house has double glazing and gas central heating, making it comfortable now while still offering scope to modernise kitchens or bathrooms to taste. The cottage sits in a quiet hamlet setting with excellent broadband and mobile signal — useful for hybrid working.
Buyers should note this is a sale by modern auction (online end date 24/10/25) and the property will be sold freehold and chain free. The sandstone walls are likely uninsulated and glazing dates from before 2002, so there is potential to improve energy efficiency. The plot is small and the layout includes a long, narrow galley kitchen, which may limit some reconfiguration options.
Overall, this detached period home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, characterful cottage with great views and scope to add value through sympathetic updating. The auction route means a quick purchase is possible for prepared buyers; survey and viewings are recommended to confirm condition and any works you may wish to undertake.
