Thought You’d Never Want A Kitchen Upstairs? Wait Until You See What They’ve Done With This One…The glass-lined middle floor offers light and open-plan living - linking the kitchen, lounge and landing in a way that feels sociable and seriously impressive. This together with 4 bedrooms, three bathrooms and a heap of other modern day conveniences, this is one not to be missed.

If you’ve always dismissed the idea of living spaces on the middle floor, this 2017 Redwaters Homes detached property will change your mind - probably before you’ve even made it to the top of the stairs.

Because the moment you reach the 1st floor landing, everything opens up before you. 

Full-height internal windows bring light through from both sides of the house, connecting the landing, kitchen and lounge in a way that feels light, bright and completely unexpected. 

At the front, the kitchen-diner combines sleek integrated appliances with practical touches like a walk-in larder cupboard with its own power supply. To the rear, the lounge opens onto a large balcony through bi-fold doors, with leafy views over the hillside garden.

And the effect of it all - light bouncing off every surface, views stretching in both directions, rooms that feel connected rather than closed off - its something you really have to experience in person. It’s an inspired layout that just works.

Downstairs, the ground floor adds flexibility with a fourth bedroom (currently used as a cinema room / snug) that has its own en suite and access to the lower garden. It’s ideal for teens, guests, or even as a separate work-from-home zone.

Upstairs, the top floor has three more bedrooms, including the main with its own en suite, plus a stylish family bathroom. There’s built-in storage on the landing and a fully boarded loft with pull-down ladder, light and power.

Outside, the garden offers a couple of choices: there’s the first floor balcony, connected to the lower terrace by a spiral staircase and an upper wild area with huge potential for landscaping - you could take inspiration from the neighbours a few doors down who’ve built a decked seating area at the top of the garden.

The front offers driveway parking and two EV chargers - a high-powered one outside, and one inside the built-in single garage which can be accessed internally.

Vale Court is a peaceful riverside cul-de-sac within walking distance of Ripponden village. The tennis courts, bowling green and park are all just minutes away, but the setting itself is blissfully quiet, with no through traffic and greenery and the faint sound of the river all around.

So if you’ve ruled out three storeys in the past, this is the one that might just make you change your mind. Because when a layout feels this light, this open and this well connected - you stop worrying about what floor you’re on, and just start enjoying the space.
