House For Sale £190,000
Cragg Vale is set in a stunning valley looking out onto a picturesque and dramatic landscape of hills, farms and moorland. Located just three miles from Hebden Bridge, the bbc is about to put it well-and-truly on the map with an adaptation of The Gallow's Pole, a true story of the infamous Cragg Vale Coiners. The lovely semi-rural location belies it's convenient position - just 25 minutes drive from the M62 and 1.5 miles from the railway station at Mytholmroyd it's very well-connected by road and rail to Leeds, Manchester and beyond. And with super fast fibre broadband this could be your dream working-from-home location. There are two good pubs in the village and Craggies, a brilliant farmshop / cafe, is just a short walk away. If you love the great outdoors there's magnificent walking straight from the door, and Hebden Bridge is just a 10 minute drive or 20 minute bus ride away.
Victoria Buildings dates from 1885 and was originally built to house workers from the nearby Victoria Mill (now demolished). Being slightly built into the hill, there's a short set of steps up to an outside walkway at ground floor level, meaning the living accommodation is nicely elevated above the road, further improving the brilliant views from every room. While the house itself is enormously appealing, the real jewel in the crown here is the delightful rear garden. Set over several terraces behind the house it's beautifully landscaped and a great size, enjoying wonderful views over the house itself to the hills and moors beyond.
The front door opens into a small lobby area, with the stairs up ahead and a doorway to the left taking us into the welcoming living room. You'll immediately be struck by how light and bright this spacious room is. Being south-west facing it enjoys sunshine throughout the day and the large window has a great view out onto woodland opposite. But the main feature here is the stunning stone fireplace, housing a Jotul gas stove for fantastic looks combined with maximum convenience. There's clever lighting hidden away behind the stove to illuminate the stonework and create a gorgeous night-time ambiance. With plenty of room for a couple of sofas this is a wonderfully cosy place to escape the elements. After a long day simply light the stove, put your feet up and relax with a box set and hard-earned drink. What could be better?
From the living room a door opens onto the dining-kitchen to the rear of the house. It's all been recently refitted and the stylish handleless units pair with aquamarine splashbacks and LED lighting to create a very contemporary feel. Cooking is taken care of with an integrated induction hob and double oven, and plentiful workspace and storage means there's everything a budding Masterchef could need. There's room for a small table, a glazed door out onto the lower tier of the garden, and also a door opening onto stairs down to the cellar. This is a really useful extra space - dry and a good size, with original stone-flagged floor - and is used by the current owners as a laundry room and for storage. It's also the ideal spot for drying out muddy boots after a day's walking in the hills!
Back to the front door and up the stairs to the first floor, where you'll find two good bedrooms and a lovely shower room, all with contemporary decoration. Starting with the main bedroom, like the living room this is a large, sunny room. Modern wardrobes are fitted into each side of the chimney breast, giving excellent hanging and drawer space, and there's plenty of room for a large double bed plus additional furniture. The second bedroom is smaller, but there's still space for a double bed and furniture, plus the room enjoys an outstanding view out onto the garden where you can watch the birds gathering around the feeders outside. If you work from home this room would be a perfect office / guest room, although you might struggle to get much done with an outlook like that!
Also on the first floor you'll find the shower room. This is another room which has been recently re-fitted, and it's been beautifully done. It's a well-lit space thanks to the large window, with a quality suite, Karndean-type flooring, a glazed shower cubicle and useful drawers under the basin.
Finally, accessible by drop-down ladder from the landing, there's an excellent loft space, which is fully boarded with light and power. Ideal for hiding away life's inevitable clutter, or possibly for conversion into a hobby room, if you wish.
But now back to that wonderful garden! It really is idyllic, with woodland to the rear and enjoying stunning valley views and a good amount of sunshine. Divided into three main terraces linked by a wandering path of stone steps and gravel it's a magical space. There are zones laid out for enjoying a BBQ or simply sitting out in the sunshine, each with high levels of privacy thanks to thoughtful planting. The current owners clearly have green fingers, as the garden is beautifully colourful year-round. Being so close to the woodland behind it's no surprise that it's also a wildlife haven, with regular visits from a huge variety of birdlife, foxes and deer.
A few further basics: There's plenty of on-street parking close by the house. All windows are UPVC double-glazed and heating and hot water is provided by a combination boiler in the cellar.
So, to summarise, this semi-rural location offers a great-value alternative to living in the valley bottom. The house has been beautifully maintained, has lovely views and an idyllic sunny garden, all within close reach of commuter links and Hebden Bridge. It's a brilliant place to live, especially if you enjoy the great outdoors. Call now, 24/7, for further information and to book your appointment to view on our open day, Sunday 5th December.
