This 17th‑century Grade II listed cottage combines authentic period character with modern comforts. Exposed beams, stonework and a striking stone fireplace with a multifuel stove create a warm, characterful living space, while the fitted oak kitchen and modern family bathroom (with underfloor heating) meet everyday needs. Large windows and a dormer provide impressive valley views from front and rear.
Set in the popular Old Town hillside above Hebden Bridge, the cottage is well placed for rural walks, a highly regarded local primary school and basic village amenities. A regular bus links to Hebden Bridge and Halifax, while the vibrant town centre is a short journey away. The property is freehold, has low flood risk and a cheap council tax band.
Practical points to note: Grade II listed status and location within a conservation area may restrict alterations and could complicate permissions. Access is via an unadopted lane; parking is on‑street. Room sizes are generally compact and the house is not suitable for wheelchair users. Broadband is average, though mobile signal is good.
This cottage will suit those seeking a historic, character home or a lock‑up‑and‑leave country base rather than buyers requiring easy vehicle access or large, adaptable living spaces. It also offers appeal to buyers wanting strong village schooling and countryside lifestyle, while buyers planning extensions or major alterations should factor listed building constraints into their plans.
