4 bed cottage for sale

Duke Street, Halifax, West Yorkshire HX2

On the outskirts of Luddenden Village, tucked away on the charming Duke Street, sits this Grade II listed, double fronted cottage which is as captivating in character as it is deceptively spacious in layout. Extended to the rear and brimming with a plethora of features, this beautiful period home boasts stone fireplaces, exposed beams, mullion windows and extensive hillside views, alongside a large rear garden that rolls back toward open countryside. Step inside and you'll discover a home that combines historic charm with modern practicality, offering an enviable position within the sought-after Luddenden Valley.

Entering via the L-shaped hallway, you're greeted by exposed beams, wood panelling and exposed stonework, with space perfectly designed for hanging coats and storing shoes. To the left lies the first of the reception rooms, currently used as a child's playroom, where mullion windows, a stone fireplace housing a multifuel stove (never used by the current owners), and a window seat with views to the front create an inviting atmosphere. Shelving to the alcove and a useful understairs cupboard provide ample storage. Continuing to the rear, the extended kitchen feels light and bright, with views across the garden and field beyond. Fitted with a range of cupboards and drawers, generous worktop space, a Quooker instant hot water tap, integrated slimline dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, fridge and freezer, it is both practical and stylish. Skylight windows flood the space with daylight, while a glass panel looks through into the living room, maintaining a sense of connection. There's space for a table and chairs, and a door leads directly into the rear garden. Adjacent is a utility room and downstairs WC, complete with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer.

The second reception room, accessed from the entrance hall, is a large split-level living space, rich in character with exposed beams, exposed stonework, mullion windows and another stone fireplace with multifuel stove. A window seat looks out to the front, and an external door provides direct access to the street. An internal door from here leads to an additional reception room, ideal as a hobby space, home office or even a ground floor single bedroom, having been used as such in the past.

Upstairs, the landing—with its exposed beams—gives access to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. Bedroom one is a generous double to the front, complete with exposed beams, stonework, mullion windows, a stone fireplace and a window seat. Bedroom two, also to the front, features a built-in wardrobe, mullion windows, a decorative fireplace and another window seat. Bedroom three is a double to the rear, enjoying views over the garden and exposed character features, while bedroom four is a single room with similar rear-facing views and detailing. The family bathroom is spacious, fitted with a white three-piece suite including WC, basin and a double shower over the bath, complemented by exposed stonework.

Outside, the large rear garden is a real highlight—tiered with a patio and two lawned areas, enclosed and backing directly onto open fields. It offers wonderful hillside views, a wood store and a shed, making it a perfect space for relaxation or entertaining.

Luddenden Village itself is steeped in history and community spirit, with a picturesque church and the well-known Lord Nelson Public House at its heart. A short stroll takes you to Jerusalem Farm, a nature reserve ideal for families and walkers, and Bob's Tea Rooms, a local favourite. The property sits within a short walk of a well-regarded local primary school, and countryside walks begin quite literally from your doorstep.

Perfectly positioned between Sowerby Bridge and Mytholmroyd, you'll have easy access to an array of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets and train stations, while the vibrant market town of Hebden Bridge is just a little further down the valley, offering even more in the way of culture, arts and leisure. This is a home that truly offers the best of both worlds—historic charm and rural tranquillity, yet with everything you need close at hand.
