Description
A UNIQUE HOME WITH UNBEATABLE COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS
Elevated above the surrounding landscape in sought-after Ripponden, Heather Bank is a detached home where uninterrupted, far-reaching views across fields and hillsides take centre stage. Generous accommodation, a wonderfully bright sunroom with extensive views, and a tiered rear garden combine to create a home with plenty of space and potential.
The setting is a standout feature, with the surrounding countryside providing a beautiful backdrop to everyday life. Some updating would allow a new owner plenty of scope to make their mark.
INSIDE THE HOME
ENTRANCE PORCH
A glazed front door opens into the entrance porch, where etched glass doors lead through to the hallway. There is useful space for coats and shoes, while the elevated position offers an immediate glimpse of the outlook that makes Heather Bank so appealing.
HALLWAY
The hallway connects the entrance with the principal living accommodation, providing a practical introduction to the house. Three small steps lead up to the bedroom accommodation.
OPEN-PLAN SUNROOM, LOUNGE, AND DINING ROOM
SUNROOM
The spectacular sunroom is the highlight of the home. Chalet-style windows frame spectacular views across the surrounding hillsides, while the Velux skylights draw additional daylight into the room, creating a bright and uplifting space in which to enjoy the changing landscape.
“We rarely watch TV – the view is so incredible that we just sit and watch the world go by.” – Current tenants
LOUNGE
Generously proportioned, the lounge provides plenty of room to relax, with plush carpeting and an electric fire creating a comfortable focal point. Its open connection with the dining area and sunroom gives the principal living space a natural flow and a stunning outlook.
DINING ROOM
The dining area offers a sociable setting for family meals and entertaining. A Velux skylight brings in natural light, while a glazed wall opens the space towards the kitchen, maintaining a sense of connection between the rooms.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is fitted with wooden wall, drawer, and base units, complemented by contrasting worksurfaces and a Velux skylight. A glazed wall looks into the dining room, allowing light to travel between the spaces.
Integrated appliances include a NEFF double oven, Montpellier dishwasher, fridge freezer, and ceramic five-ring hob. The washing machine can also be included in the sale. A glazed stable-style door provides direct access to the garden at the rear.
---
DOUBLE BEDROOM
A generous double bedroom, the principal bedroom enjoys a picture window overlooking the far-reaching views. Extensive fitted furniture includes bedside tables, cupboards, drawers, wardrobes, and a vanity desk, providing excellent built-in storage.
WALK-IN WARDROBE ROOM
A separate walk-in wardrobe offers further fitted wardrobes, drawers, and cupboards.
DOUBLE BEDROOM
The second double bedroom, with ensuite, looks towards the rear garden and also benefits from extensive fitted furniture. Bedside tables, cupboards, drawers, wardrobes and a vanity desk provide useful storage while leaving plenty of room for a double bed and additional furnishings.
ENSUITE
The ensuite comprises a shower, WC, and wash basin set within a floating vanity unit, together with a heated towel rail.
OFFICE/SINGLE BEDROOM
An additional room, perfect for use as a home office or additional single bedroom, with a window framing uninterrupted hillside views.

EXTERNALS
DRIVEWAY AND CARPORT
The elevated setting continues to impress outside. A substantial driveway and carport provide parking for approximately five cars, with sweeping stone steps leading up towards the front entrance.
GARAGE AND OIL STORE
The single garage and adjoining oil store provide valuable additional space. The garage has a tiled floor and is currently used for storage by the tenants. Subject to the requirements of a future owner and any necessary consents, it could offer potential for alternative uses, such as a games room or home gym.
GARDEN
A pathway runs along the side of the property, bordered by vegetable beds, before continuing around to the rear garden and back round to the front.
Arranged over two levels, the rear garden offers a combination of patio and lawn, with the patio providing an excellent vantage point from which to appreciate the far-reaching views across the surrounding fields and hillsides. Established flowers and shrubbery add colour and structure, while a greenhouse and shed provide useful garden storage. An outdoor tap adds further convenience.
