Lodge Hill, Baildon, West Yorkshire, BD17

NO ONWARD CHAIN - Hill Close provides an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached bungalow situated in one of Baildon's most prestigious residential locations. This impressive property boasts spacious living accommodation throughout with three double bedrooms. Set within mature gardens, and owning approximately 1.5 acres of natural woodland at the rear forming part of Low Crooks Wood.


Positioned within an elevated plot and owned by the same family for over five decades, this cherished home now presents a truly exciting opportunity for those seeking a spacious property with immense potential. Offering a flexible layout and generous proportions throughout, the bungalow comprises three well-sized double bedrooms, a large dining kitchen, and expansive living accommodation.

The main living room is open to a delightful sun room, thoughtfully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and perfectly frame the distant valley views to the front - creating a beautiful place to relax and take in the peaceful setting.

The house is approached via a long drive which provides a real sense on arrival, leading to a turning area and access to the large double garages, offering ample off-street for parking and practicality for daily life.

Set well back from the road, the property enjoys mature gardens to both the front and rear, providing privacy, greenery, and a sense of tranquillity. One of its most unique and valuable features is the ownership of approximately 1.5 acres of natural woodland at the rear, forming part of the scenic Low Crooks Wood. This rare asset delivers a remarkable connection to nature and offers a peaceful backdrop to the home.

The bungalow also offers considerable scope for extension or reconfiguration, featuring a substantial boarded loft space with excellent potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions. Complementing this is a large detached double garage, offering exciting possibilities for conversion into a home office, gym, studio, or ancillary living space, again subject to the relevant consents.

Importantly, planning permission has now been granted for an architect-designed dormer bungalow within the grounds, on a plot that will be marketed separately. The approved scheme has been carefully positioned to minimise its impact on Hill Close, ensuring the property continues to enjoy a high degree of privacy, generous gardens, extensive parking and direct access to its own private woodland. The development presents a valuable opportunity while preserving the unique character and setting of the main residence.

Situated in a quiet and established area of Baildon, Hill Close combines a peaceful and secluded setting with convenient access to village amenities, well-regarded schools, Saltaire railway station, and scenic countryside walks along Shipley Glen.

Baildon is a popular village which offers a wide variety of amenities including shops, restaurants and recreational facilities including a golf course, rugby, cricket and football grounds.
