Moorside Road, Bradford, BD2

A Rare Victorian Villa of Distinction in a Historic Village Setting

Occupying a prominent position within the heart of Eccleshill's recently designated Conservation Area, this exceptional Grade II Listed Victorian villa offers over 3,200 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation, combining period grandeur, modern comfort and remarkable lifestyle flexibility.

Built in 1862 as the residence of a local mill owner, the property stands among a small collection of distinguished heritage homes that define the character of this historic Yorkshire village. Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, the house blends elegant Victorian architecture with the practical requirements of modern family and professional life.

What makes this property particularly special is the combination of heritage, lifestyle and connectivity that is increasingly difficult to find. Residents enjoy the charm and convenience of village living, with pubs, café, independent shops, pharmacy, GP services and everyday amenities all within a short walk, while Leeds Bradford Airport is approximately 15 minutes away, Apperley Bridge railway station is 7 minutes within easy reach and excellent road links connect Leeds, Harrogate, York, Manchester and the wider UK, easily.

Equally rare is the property's setting. The beautifully landscaped, truly south-facing garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day and views from the house include the well-maintained Eccleshill Recreation Ground, creating a wonderful sense of openness, with

generous greenery and community while retaining privacy. Few homes combine a quiet village setting with this level of accessibility and convenience.

Behind its impressive stone façade lies a magnificent 31-foot reception hall with soaring ceilings, original stained glass and exquisite period detailing. Three elegant reception rooms provide superb entertaining and family living space, while the recently installed bespoke dining kitchen is a particular highlight, combining handcrafted solid ash cabinetry, oak worktops, flexible feature-lighting, premium appliances and even a traditional AGA to create a warm and highly functional heart of the home.

The accommodation extends across four floors and offers six bedrooms, with the majority of living space on ground and first floors, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with outstanding flexibility for home working, guest accommodation or multi-generational living. All bedrooms have plumbing provision already in place to offer straightforward opportunities for additional en-suite bathrooms, if desired.

The substantial basement level presents exciting future potential, with excellent head height and scope for conversion into a gym, cinema room, studio, annexe accommodation or further leisure space, subject to any necessary consents.

One of the property's most exceptional features is its beautifully landscaped, truly south-facing garden. Rare for a home of this period, the garden enjoys sunlight throughout the day and provides a private oasis for relaxation and entertaining. Generous patios, a summer house, mature planting and a feature pond with fountain create a wonderful, peaceful outdoor environment.

Seconds from the garden gate lies the well-maintained Eccleshill Recreation Ground, offering open green space, handmade seating and planters, separate bowling green facilities, dog walking and there’s a genuine sense of community. This unique combination of village life, heritage surroundings and open outlook is increasingly difficult to find within close commuting distance of Leeds.

The property has been extensively improved and maintained by the current owners, including a luxury bespoke kitchen installation, engineered oak parquet flooring, recently upgraded electrical systems, enhanced security measures, window refurbishment and comprehensive decorative improvements. Despite its listed status, the home has proven straightforward and economical to maintain during the current ownership of the 22 years.

Offering character, scale, connectivity and lifestyle in equal measure, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Eccleshill's landmark residences – a home that combines the elegance of a bygone era with the convenience and flexibility demanded by modern living.
