3 bed cottage for sale

Towngate, Heptonstall, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire HX7

Nestled on a historic cobbled street in the heart of Heptonstall, this exceptional Grade II listed property offers an enchanting blend of rich heritage and sophisticated modern living. The property has undergone extensive renovations since 2024, transforming it into a seamless turn key home that beautifully balances historic character with contemporary luxury. Arranged over four floors, the accommodation retains its stunning original features, including classic stone mullion windows and exposed architectural details, while offering a fresh, high end finish throughout.

Stepping inside through the inviting entrance hall, you are greeted by a magnificent dining kitchen that serves as the heart of the ground floor. This space features beautiful exposed beams, rugged stonework, a classic stone fireplace, and a Mandarin Stone tiled floor that flows seamlessly throughout. The newly fitted oak kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, offering a thoughtful combination of drawers and cupboards, an induction extractor hob, an electric oven, and fully integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washer dryer machine. The room includes a generous dining area with ample space for a large table and chairs, making it perfect for entertaining, while large glazed aluminum doors frame views of the garden and open wide to invite the outdoors in.

From the kitchen, a staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, revealing an impressive vaulted living room with its own independent external access to the front of the house. This cozy yet spacious retreat is anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace housing a multi fuel stove, and features a charming window seat built into the thick stone walls, creating the ultimate spot to curl up with a book.

Moving upstairs, the first floor landing leads to a large, characterful double bedroom boasting exposed beams, feature stonework, and a traditional fireplace. Across the landing is a striking, spacious bathroom that feels like a boutique hotel spa. It features a premium white suite including a wash basin, a low level w/c, a separate corner shower cubicle, and a magnificent roll-top, claw-foot bath positioned under the window.

The journey continues to the second floor, where the landing connects two further bedrooms, both brimming with character. The second bedroom is a large double featuring beautiful exposed wooden floorboards and historic stonework with views over the hills, while the third bedroom is a smaller double room, also showcasing matching exposed floorboards and rugged stonework, ideal for guests or a home office/studio. There is also access to a fully boarded loft space via a telescopic ladder.

Externally, the property enjoys an enclosed, garden paved in York stone that provides a private sanctuary for alfresco dining, complete with a secure gate opening directly onto the rear lane.

Heptonstall itself is a village steeped in history, famed for its beautifully preserved stone cottages, atmospheric ruined church, and deep rooted literary connections, notably as the final resting place of poet Sylvia Plath. Perched on a high ridge above the valley, the village feels like a peaceful step back in time, yet it sits just a short distance from the vibrant market town of Hebden Bridge. Known for its bohemian spirit, independent shops, thriving arts scene, and welcoming cafes, Hebden Bridge provides a lively contrast to Heptonstall's quiet charm. The surrounding Calder Valley is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering spectacular countryside walks right from your doorstep, from the rugged beauty of Hardcastle Crags to peaceful canal side strolls.
