Now You Can Have The Cute Stone Cottage With The Valley Views, Without Taking On A Project. Updated throughout but retaining its traditional charm, don't be fooled by the outside, there’s a lot more to this than meets the eye. And it’s handy for Ripponden, Rishworth and the M62.

The appeal of a place like this is easy to understand. A proper Yorkshire stone build, with a riverside setting between Ripponden and Rishworth, with open valley views from the upstairs windows. 

But it’s the kind of home that looks like it could be challenging - either tiny or dated or mid-renovation. Or all three. Thankfully it’s none of the above.

The current owners have updated it throughout: with a new kitchen, new bathroom, freshly decorated and with new flooring. The hard work is done. You move in, you just enjoy it.

You step into the lounge from the entrance vestibule - and this is where the outside stops making sense as a guide to the inside. It's over 17 feet wide, with a beamed ceiling, a period cast iron fireplace and enough room to actually live in. 

Then you go through to the dining room, which is partially open to the kitchen, giving a relaxed flow between cooking and eating without knocking the whole thing through. 

The kitchen itself is fitted with painted shaker-style cabinetry, wood-effect worktops and under-cabinet lighting - calm, practical and easy to look after.

The lower ground floor has a proper utility room with a worktop, sink, plumbing for the washing machine and tumble dryer, shelving and heating. It's had damp proofing treatment too, and the space is genuinely useful - for bikes, boots, the overflow storage that every house needs somewhere.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has a period cast iron fireplace, two windows and the valley views the outside of the house quietly promises. There’s space for a desk and wardrobe as well as a decent-sized double bed. 

Bedroom two is a single - good for a child's room, a dressing room or a home office. 

The four-piece bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower enclosure, finished in clean white metro tiles with a vanity unit below the basin. A boarded loft with a pull-down ladder adds even more useful storage above.

Outside, there's a cute enclosed patio to the side.

You couldn’t ask for a better location. Cross the road, head down the steps and you’re on the riverbank. 

You can stroll into Ripponden for shops, bars and restaurants, or head to one of the local pubs that are within walking distance. 

A traditional butcher and Indian restaurant and café sit just across the way - you’ll never go hungry!

And if you need to head further afield, the M62 is only a five-minute drive away.

A stone cottage that looks modest from the road but opens into something genuinely surprising - updated yet still full of character - and in a handy spot.

I’m expecting plenty of interest - get in touch to arrange a viewing.
