2 bed cottage for sale

Mill Cottage, Heathfield Terrace, Halifax, West Yorkshire HX3

Every now and then, a property with true wow factor comes to market and this delightful Victorian cottage is exactly that. Dating back to the Victorian era and set within the sought-after Conservation Ward of Skircoat Green, once the favoured address of wealthy mill owners, this home blends timeless character with contemporary style to stunning effect.

Owned and lovingly upgraded by the current vendors for over 17 years, this stone built detached property is a rare find, perfectly balancing restored period features with modern finishes.

Entering through the light filled Kitchen, you're welcomed by dual aspect windows, two Velux style rooflights, and original oak beams. A sleek range of Taupe units is topped with contemporary quartz worktops and complemented by stylish tiling. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with gas hob and extractor, dishwasher, and space for a tall fridge-freezer. A handy breakfast bar offers the perfect spot for morning coffee.

The Dining/Family room sits at the heart of the home, featuring a dual fuel burner set into the chimney breast with tiled hearth and oak mantel. Stone mullioned windows, exposed beams, and carefully chosen décor create a warm yet luxurious ambience. This versatile space easily accommodates both a dining table and seating area.

From here, a restored original door leads into the hallway, where bold green tones enhance the mullions, skirtings, and architraves. Off the hall you'll find a stylish Contemporary Family Bathroom and a practical Utility Room. At the end of the Hallway lies the Living Room, a generous space with French doors opening onto the private garden, ideal for relaxing or entertaining.

A feature staircase rises from the Family Room to the First Floor, where bold block colours lend a modern edge to the landing.

The Master Bedroom is a truly beautiful space, with dual aspect mullioned windows, fitted wardrobes, and ample room for a king szed bed. Floral feature wallpaper and panelling add a refined touch.

The second Bedroom is unique and full of character, featuring a striking wall mural, bold accent tones, and a clever mezzanine level currently used for storage. Restored beams and exposed trusses add to its charm, while dual aspect windows flood the room with light.

Completing this floor is a contemporary Cloakroom, serving both bedrooms.

The charm of this home continues outside. To one side of the property, by the Kitchen, is a lovely Yorkshire stone seating area, perfect for a bistro set where you can enjoy the sunshine. To the other side lies a garage, with an additional adjoining area of equal size currently used for keeping chickens.

The home enjoys two paved Garden Areas, both accessible from the Living Room as well as via a gated entrance from the cobbled road. Directly outside the French doors, a Yorkshire stone patio offers a cosy spot for morning coffee, while a couple of steps lead up to a more generous garden terrace. Here you'll find ample room for outdoor furniture and a superb garden room/home office, ideal for home working or entertaining.

From its cobbled approach and stone mullions to its restored beams, contemporary styling, and versatile outdoor spaces, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Skircoat Green's history—lovingly updated for modern living. Private, full of character, and undeniably stylish, it's a home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
