5 bed detached house for sale

Hill Croft, Dob Lane, Sowerby HX6

With The Whole Calder Valley Laid Out In Front Of You, Even The Washing Up Becomes A Joy. A versatile family home, comprehensively updated and designed to make the most of the valley views. On a large landscaped plot in a handy hillside location, just a short walk down to the shops and schools in Sowerby.

Everyday jobs feel different when the Pennine hills fill the kitchen, dining room and large lounge windows. Pour a coffee, open the patio doors and the Calder valley is right there in front of you.

Hill Croft is an extensive, stone-built chalet-style bungalow, perched high above Sowerby Bridge and Luddenden Foot. It’s a short walk down to the shops and schools in Sowerby, with the M62 within easy reach if you’re heading east or west across the Pennines.

The recently updated kitchen-diner has a gorgeous centre island that’s big enough to cope with homework at one end and cooking at the other. A multi-fuel stove warms the dining area.

Next door, a separate utility room has plenty of storage, a sink unit and a wine cooler.

The sitting room stretches 27ft, with patio doors and windows (views) to two sides. There’s another multi-fuel stove in here for cosy winter evenings.

There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, two doubles and a single. One has its own stylish en suite and the smallest is used as a home office at the moment.

The updated four piece family bathroom has a modern freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower.

Upstairs, a second reception room at the top of the stairs has a Juliet balcony and more of those views. It makes a great teenage den or a large main bedroom. Two further bedrooms and another bathroom complete the first floor in addition to plenty more storage space within the eaves.

Outside, the landscaped lawns wrap around three sides of the house, with well stocked borders and mature ornamental trees. A wide sun terrace runs along the front, and there’s a paved terrace at the back for long summer suppers.

The recent update has substance as well as style. Solar panels and triple glazing are already in place, with a new central heating system to match.

There’s plenty of off road parking too, and the built-in lower ground floor garages take upto three cars or provides additional workshop space as well as parking.

The main double garage has an electric door and an EV charger, and a stone outbuilding in the garden has power and an alarm.

Sowerby sits just above Sowerby Bridge - it’s a little bit quieter than town, with a genuine village feel. There's a convenience store, sandwich shop, chippy and a lovely traditional pub which is a short stroll away.

You’re well served for local schools. Trinity Academy St Peters primary school is only a 10 minute walk away, with Ryburn Valley High School only three minutes further away.

A regular bus service runs to Halifax and Sowerby Bridge, and if you do need the car, it's only a five minute drive down the hill into town.

If you want to take the Calder Valley with you every time you head from the lounge into the kitchen-diner, this updated and much improved family home is well worth a look.

It’s spacious and versatile, in a handy hillside spot - i’m expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
