House For Sale £270,000
Highfield Crescent, Hebden Bridge

Don't be fooled by their modest exteriors, these 1930s mid-terraces are always hugely popular. Located on Highfield Crescent, AKA 'the frying pan', a quiet, elevated cul-de-sac just five minutes walk from the centre of Hebden Bridge. Known for being one of the sunniest spots in town with stunning views across the valley and a super-friendly local community it's a really popular location. Even better there's the very rare convenience of having driveway parking, plus front and back gardens, all within a 15 minute stroll of the railway station.

The front garden sits beyond the drive, giving it excellent privacy and is a very good size, with a mix of mature planting, grass and a paved area close to the house. This space is a real suntrap, with lovely views over Hebden Bridge and the valley opposite meaning you'll doubtless spend a lot of time soaking up the sunshine here!

Through the front door and into a small lobby, with space to hang your coat and sling off your shoes before heading into the main living space to the left. The ground floor comprises a large sunny living room with a kitchen-diner to the rear of the house which opens onto the back garden. Both rooms retain the original pine floorboards which are in very good condition and give the house a feel of real warmth and character. The living room has an electric fire at the moment, but as the chimney remains intact there's the possibility of adding a wood-burning stove should you wish, perfect for creating that cosy cottage vibe.

The kitchen and dining room are semi open-plan, with room for a table seating six, so there's no excuse not to invite your friends around for dinner! It's an intimate space during winter, but in summer it really comes into its own - simply throw open the French doors and fire up the BBQ on the terrace outside! Back inside, the L-shaped kitchen has a sink, gas hob and electric oven plus space for a fridge-freezer. It's a light and bright space with a glass paned door opening onto the back garden.

Speaking of the back garden, this is a great asset of the property, and is a good size, fully enclosed and very private – perfect for entertaining, especially as it catches the late afternoon and evening sunshine. It's presently arranged to be low maintenance with mature planting and gravel underfoot. A gate to the rear opens onto a public footpath separating the house from allotments behind. There's a large detached stone outhouse at the end of the garden which needs work, but there's oodles of potential to create more living space here if you wish - perhaps a garden office, a workshop or playroom linked to the house via a contemporary outdoor entertaining area?

Back inside the house, and heading upstairs you'll find a well-proportioned bathroom, with a bath with shower over, basin and WC. The modern fittings are nicely complemented by more exposed floorboards. There are also two bedrooms on this level, both with outstanding views. The larger double bedroom is to the front of the house and is an excellent size with a huge window taking in the awesome valley views to the south. There are two built-in wardrobes and space for further furniture alongside the chimney breast. Next door, the second bedroom is a little smaller but also fits a double bed. The views are equally good, this time over the back garden, with the valley and allotments beyond.

From the landing a pull-out ladder gives access to the 2nd floor loft room. While the head height is rather restricted, it's a light and airy space ideal for storage and possible use as an office or meditation space. There's useful storage in the eaves accessed from here too.

So, in summary, this is a great property which just needs a tiny bit of TLC to create a really lovely home. It's in a perfect location, right on the doorstep of Hebden Bridge and just five minutes from the buzzing centre, yet with the feel of being in the countryside, with very ample garden space bathed in sunshine all day long and surrounded by those iconic valley views. The icing on the cake? Knowing when you get back home there's a parking space right outside, waiting just for you!

Some other basics: The house has UPVC double-glazing and gas central heating throughout. Ticking so many boxes, we're expecting a lot of interest in this lovely property. So don't delay - give us a call now, 24/7, and book your place to view! VIEWINGS FRIDAY 15th MARCH
