Calder Valley Vista, Sowerby Bridge, HX6 2FR

There are homes that reveal themselves immediately and others that save their best surprises until you step inside. Set beside the canal and arranged over four thoughtfully designed floors, Calder Valley Vista is very much the latter.

From the front, the contemporary exterior gives little indication of the space beyond. Inside, however, you'll find approximately 1,761 sq. ft. of beautifully presented and highly individual accommodation, including four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fabulous open-plan living space, utility room, integral garage with an entire top-floor principal suite.

The current owners have lived here since the property was built and have adapted it carefully around the way they live. Clever storage, upgraded technology and a larger, more private outdoor area distinguish this home from others within the development.

The ground floor is dedicated predominantly to open-plan living, with the kitchen, dining and sitting areas flowing together across an impressive room measuring approximately 27'3” by 16'.

This is a space made for both relaxed everyday living and entertaining. There is plenty of room to stretch out on the sofa, enjoy a film or spend time together. When friends and family visit, the open floor space gives the room a wonderfully spacious feel.

Across the rear, wide bi-folding doors draw in the greenery outside and allow the living room to spread naturally onto the deck. Open the doors during warmer weather and the entire level becomes one flowing indoor-outdoor entertaining space. It is ideal for summer drinks or simply sitting with a coffee and enjoying the peaceful canal-side setting.

The contemporary kitchen is both stylish and exceptionally practical. Dark cabinetry is paired with generous work surfaces and a large breakfast bar, creating a natural place for informal meals, conversation or a laptop while dinner is being prepared.

Integrated appliances include an induction hob, built-in fan oven with grill, built-in microwave with convection oven and grill functions, dishwasher and wine cooler. Storage has been particularly well considered, with corner cupboards featuring swing-out mechanisms, a dedicated breakfast cupboard, a swing-out spice rail and a mobile floor-to-ceiling pantry.

Alongside the downstairs WC, the owners chose to add a pantry and separate utility room, an arrangement that provides valuable additional storage while keeping laundry and household appliances away from the main kitchen.

The outdoor space is one of the defining features of this home. Wider and more private than many neighbouring plots, it wraps around the side and has been designed to be attractive without demanding hours of maintenance.

The generous composite deck feels like an extension of the living room and provides ample space for outdoor sofas, loungers, pots and a dining area. With an open outlook across established greenery and the hillside beyond, it offers a wonderful sense of separation from the everyday world.

There is a secluded side area for the hot tub, making this an inviting place to unwind at the end of the day. Two large storage sheds are discreetly positioned behind screening, while outside taps and power sockets make gardening, cleaning and entertaining much easier.

Whether you enjoy canal-side walks, outdoor dining, entertaining friends or simply sitting quietly and watching the landscape change through the seasons, this is a home that makes the most of its setting.

The first floor contains two bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedroom two connects with a separate walk through dressing room and an en-suite shower room. The open arrangement works particularly well as a guest suite, a teenager's bedroom or an alternative main bedroom. Doors could potentially be added to create greater separation if preferred.

Bedroom four is a comfortable single room. It can accommodate a single bed, drawers and a wardrobe, making it equally suitable as a child's bedroom, nursery or dedicated home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, WC and washbasin, complemented by a heated towel rail and dimmable lighting for a more relaxing atmosphere.

On the second floor, you will find the flexibility of bedroom three. Its generous length makes it particularly versatile: it could provide a spacious bedroom, quiet office, hobby room or comfortable snug.

The top floor is a genuine highlight. Rather than simply providing another bedroom, it has been designed as a private principal suite separated from the rest of the house.

The bedroom itself measures approximately 18'3” by 16'3”, with roof windows drawing natural light into the room. Its proportions allow space not only for a large bed but also for seating and freestanding furniture, creating the atmosphere of a private retreat rather than an ordinary bedroom.

A dedicated walk-in wardrobe provides organised storage without compromising the sleeping area. The spacious en-suite includes a corner shower, WC, washbasin and heated towel rail, completing a suite that feels calm, luxurious and wonderfully removed from the busier living areas below.

The integral garage is currently used as a gym and storage area. It retains its electric garage door and remote control, however, so it could readily return to vehicle use if required.

A PV electric vehicle charging point is already installed, an increasingly valuable feature for modern households.

The house incorporates a number of carefully chosen systems designed to improve comfort and efficiency.

Infrared heating panels are individually controlled, allowing different rooms to be heated according to how and when they are used. The property is serviced by an air-source heat pump, with the equipment located within the upper suite.

An annually serviced air-filtration system helps reduce allergens and manage condensation, while the windows are fitted with internal blackout blinds and external blinds to reduce solar gain. Solar-control film has also been applied to the glazing, helping the house remain comfortable throughout the summer.

Full-fibre broadband supports working from home, gaming and streaming, while the property is fully alarmed for additional reassurance. The property is serviced with a shared septic tank, a monthly charge of approx £50 covers the maintenance costs and lighting of the communal areas, ensuring the development remains clean and tidy.

This is a property that needs to be experienced in person to appreciate its scale, outlook and exceptionally well-planned layout. We are hosting an open day for viewings on SATURDAY 29th AUGUST Call now to book. Lines are Open 24/7
