A Unique Three Storey Family Home Which Combines Self-Built Sustainability, Style And The Ease Of Ripponden Village Life. What’s so special about underfloor heating, a stove and two terraces? Toasty socks, firelit Sundays and alfresco wine with a view…

Homes like this feel different from the moment you walk in. There’s a real sense of care in every small detail - smart design, generous space and a layout that fits real life. Add in village views and energy-saving tech, and it’s a rare kind of find.

Built by the current owners in 2015, this energy-efficient eco home delivers almost 2,000 sq ft of space across three light-filled levels, all just a short stroll from the heart of Ripponden village.

The top floor is all about calm and comfort, with two large double bedrooms tucked beneath the eaves, plus a stylish shower room in between. Whether you need teenage hideaways or quiet guest rooms, there’s flexibility up here for whatever life brings.

Down on the ground floor, there are two more bedrooms - ideal for multi-generational households or working from home - along with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, utility room and plenty of storage. 

The double garage has an electric door and direct access indoors, so muddy boots or deliveries won’t ever be a hassle.

But it’s the middle floor where everything really comes together. 

The stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the heart of the home. It’s spacious, welcoming and warmed by underfloor heating and a stove that’s perfect for cosy winter evenings. 

The gorgeous kitchen’s thoughtfully kitted-out, with top quality integrated appliances and even a boiling water tap.

Two sets of bi-fold doors lead out to a terrace and garden area on one side, while another door opens to a second terrace on the other - both with views across the village rooftops towards the church. Morning coffee, evening drinks, weekend BBQs… it’s all right here, just a few steps away.

The house has been built with sustainability in mind - there’s solar panels on the roof, an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout, making this a smart choice for your future as well as your lifestyle.

You’re less than 10 minutes’ walk from Ripponden’s independent shops, cafés and pubs - including the ever-popular Bridge Inn, set by the river and church for one of the prettiest pint spots in West Yorkshire.

Excellent private schools like Rishworth and Heathfield are both walk-able, plus a great choice of primary and comprehensive secondary schools and you’re within easy reach of Sowerby Bridge, Halifax, Huddersfield and Rochdale when you need bigger shops or restaurants. The M62 is close by too, for commuting or weekends away.

It’s rare to find something so well designed, energy-efficient and full of personality, especially this close to the village. Whether it’s space you need, views you’re after, or a better lifestyle you’re craving - this home ticks all three.
