A characterful two-double-bedroom semi-detached cottage set in a semi-rural spot on Roper Lane, offering far-reaching views and off-street gated parking. The house combines original Victorian stone walls and a central fireplace with modern touches such as a neat fitted kitchen, bathroom and gas central heating for year-round comfort. The modest plot is low-maintenance and private, well suited to buyers seeking countryside feel within reach of Bradford and strong local schools.
Practical details include double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, a loft and useful store room. Unusual layout elements — a spiral staircase to the first floor and dual staircases — add character but may restrict some furniture arrangements. The property’s solid stone walls are likely uninsulated (as built) so energy-efficiency improvements could be considered.
This cottage will suit downsizers, professional couples or first-time buyers who value charm, views and a quiet neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile signal. While well-presented, there is clear scope to personalise or update elements (such as insulation and some interior finishes) to improve comfort and future resale value.
Importantly, the home sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with no flood risk and affordable council tax. For buyers wanting character, privacy and easy parking close to open countryside, this is a practical, attractive prospect with realistic modernization potential.
