21 Ridgewood Close, Baildon, Shipley

CHAIN FREE and PERFECTLY PLACED FOR THE TRAIN! A three-bedroom end-terrace home with two double bedrooms, on a corner plot close to Baildon train station, with a bright conservatory, kitchen diner, ground floor WC, wraparound gardens, driveway and single garage with power and lighting. Ready for a cosmetic refresh, it's a great chance to make a well-kept home your own.

If getting to work without the car matters to you, this one is well worth a look. The railway line runs just opposite the house, giving you direct trains into Bradford, or a quick change at Guiseley for Leeds. It makes the daily commute about as straightforward as it gets.

Sitting on a corner plot at the end of a terrace, the house has a neat gravelled front garden behind smart railings, with a backdrop of mature trees that look particularly lovely in autumn. It's a decent footprint too, at around 1,079 sq ft including the garage (936 sq ft of living space). Inside, it's in good order overall and ready for a cosmetic update, so you can decorate and choose finishes to suit your own taste from day one.

The accommodation

The entrance hall leads to the stairs, with a window bringing in natural light and a useful cupboard beneath the stairs. There's also a ground floor WC with a hand basin and its own window, which is always handy for busy households and visiting guests.

At almost 17ft long, the living room is a generous, light space with a window overlooking the greenery outside and a fireplace as its focal point, perfect for cosier evenings. Sliding patio doors open into the conservatory, where tiled flooring, a ceiling fan and a door straight out onto the garden make it a lovely spot for a morning coffee, a reading corner or simply watching the seasons change.

The good-sized kitchen diner is set out with white cabinets, plenty of worktop space, a gas hob with extractor above, a built-in double oven and plumbing for a washing machine. Windows on two sides keep it bright, and there's room at the far end for a dining table, so it works well for family meals and having friends round.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a single. Both doubles have a full run of wardrobes, so there's plenty of storage without eating into floor space. The single bedroom would suit a child's room, a nursery or a home office.

The bathroom has a white suite with a bath, shower over and glass screen, pedestal basin and WC.

Outside

The wraparound gardens are a real plus, making the most of the corner plot. There's a good-sized lawn, a paved patio to the rear and a long gravelled strip running along the side of the house, with established shrubs and pretty hydrangeas around the edges. A stone wall topped with fencing gives it a nicely private, tucked-away feel, so it's a safe space for children and pets to play.

There's a driveway for one car in front of the single garage, which has power and lighting, ideal for storage, a workshop or keeping the car out of the weather. For visitors, there's unrestricted on-street parking close by.

Why you'll love living here

Being so close to Baildon station is the stand-out here. Bradford is a direct ride away, Leeds is easily reached with a quick change at Guiseley, and that makes this a smart choice for commuters, first-time buyers and anyone wanting to rely less on the car.

For families, Hoyle Court Primary School is around a 10-minute walk away, and Baildon C of E Primary School is around 20 minutes on foot.

If you love the outdoors, you're spoilt for choice. Several local walking routes set off from Baildon station itself, leading through the beautiful Esholt Woods to Esholt village, famous as the original Emmerdale filming location, complete with the Woolpack pub. In the other direction, Baildon Moor offers open moorland, sweeping views across the Aire Valley and miles of trails for walking, running and cycling.

Up the hill, Baildon village centre offers a lovely mix of independent shops, cafés, traditional pubs, a supermarket, and the library. There's a real community spirit too, with favourites like the Baildon Carnival and the Scarecrow Festival, while Saltaire and Roberts Park are close by for a weekend stroll.
