4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Marsh Lane, Blackshaw Head, Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire HX7

Positioned along Marsh Lane in the picturesque hilltop village of Blackshaw Head, just outside of Hebden Bridge, this exceptional Grade II listed semi detached residence offers a rare blend of historic character, bespoke craftsmanship, and breathtaking rural tranquillity. Tucked away within a small hamlet of properties, the home enjoys spectacular, uninterrupted panoramic views across the surrounding Pennine valleys, stretching all the way to the iconic monument of Stoodley Pike. Approached via a private lane, the property immediately sets an inviting tone for country living.

Stepping inside through the welcoming entrance porch, you arrive in a charming split level entrance hall complete with practical understairs storage. From here, a door leads into the warm and characterful living room, where traditional heritage features take centre stage. Exposed stonework, heavy ceiling beams, and classic stone mullion windows frame views out over the garden, while direct external access allows you to step effortlessly outside on warmer days. A substantial stone fireplace housing a multifuel stove creates a cosy focal point for winter evenings, flanked by bespoke built in bookshelves.

Leading off the living room is the true heart of the home: A large and deeply impressive dual aspect kitchen and dining room. Bathed in natural light through further stone mullion windows and grounded by traditional stone flag flooring and exposed timber beams, this space is designed for both everyday family life and effortless entertaining. The generous dining area flows seamlessly into a bespoke Drew Forsyth fitted kitchen, centred around a large breakfast island. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the quality appliances, including an electric oven and an integrated dishwasher, and thoughtful combination of cupboards, drawers and shelving, all set against the warmth of a second grand stone fireplace with its own multifuel stove.

Beyond the kitchen, an inner hallway provides practical everyday convenience, offering additional direct access out to the garden. This corridor leads to a well equipped utility room featuring plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, and a cloakroom suite with a white low level wc and wash basin. Also accessed from the inner hallway is a striking and wonderfully useful vaulted wine cellar, offering an atmospheric and practical space for storage.

Rising to the first floor, the landing features exposed beams and convenient loft access. The large main bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary showcasing dramatic exposed stonework, a built in storage cupboard, and soothing underfloor heating. This suite is complemented by a large and striking en-suite bathroom, also benefiting from underfloor heating, fitted with a modern roll top bath, a large separate shower cubicle, a white low level wc, and a contemporary white basin set upon a vanity unit. Across the landing, bedroom two is a generous double room rich with exposed stonework, bedroom three provides another generous double bedroom, again with underfloor heating, and the fourth bedroom is also good size, all served by a stylish family house bathroom with white three piece suite comprising low level w/c, basin set atop a vanity unit and a shower over the bath.

Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, the generous parking area easily accommodates multiple vehicles with the added bonus of an EV charging point. To the rear, the expansive garden is thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the dramatic landscape. A sheltered walled garden with established flower beds and a seating patio leads out to a second patio area, a large sweeping lawn, and a selection of mature fruit trees. A charming summerhouse provides the ultimate vantage point from which to unwind and soak in the far reaching views across the valley and across the surrounding fields.

Living in Blackshaw Head offers the quintessential Pennine village lifestyle, underpinned by a warm, active, and welcoming local community. Surrounded by rugged moorland, ancient packhorse trails, and scenic walking routes right from the doorstep, the village retains a peaceful rural charm while remaining well connected, with regular local bus services running directly down into Hebden Bridge and to Burnley.

Just a short journey down the hillside lies the vibrant market town of Hebden Bridge, renowned for its independent spirit, thriving arts scene, eclectic boutiques, cosy cafes, and traditional pubs. Despite its idyllic valley setting, Hebden Bridge is exceptionally well positioned for commuters and explorers alike, boasting a mainline railway station with frequent, direct rail links to Leeds, Manchester, Bradford, and York, alongside easy road access to the wider West Yorkshire and Lancashire networks.
