2 bedroom terraced house

This fabulous cottage is located in Colden with truly unbeatable views of some of the Calder valley's finest scenery. Colden is located between Heptonstall and Blackshaw Head, with a bus service every 30 to 60 minutes running from early morning until after 11pm connecting it with Hebden Bridge and the railway station – the bus stop is just a couple of minutes walk from the house. May's Farm Shop and the New Delight Inn are a 10 minute walk away, while Heptonstall offers a community shop / post office, more pubs and the village tea rooms.

The house itself has been beautifully modernised to retain its character features and offers generous space with a flexible layout. The front door opens onto the middle floor, with the house bathroom and a large room currently used as an office, which could equally well serve as a second reception room / bedroom three. Downstairs is a large open plan living room / dining room / kitchen with access onto the garden, while upstairs we'll find two double bedrooms. Each floor boasts mullion windows offering those iconic views.

Let's begin with the reception space, which takes up the entire lower ground floor. This is a spacious room and has distinctive vaulted ceilings and solid oak flooring for a cosy feel. Some of the walls have been left with the stone exposed, and a large, characterful fireplace houses a Hunter Herald multifuel stove. There's plenty of room for a couple of chunky sofas around the fire – perfect for toasty evenings in now the days are getting shorter. The mullion windows in the sitting area are a lovely feature and a door opens directly from here onto the garden terrace. Facing south this is the perfect place for soaking up the sun whatever the time of day!

Back inside, the kitchen is at the far end of the room and set out in an attractive L shape, with solid wood doors in classic shaker style. The electric oven, hob, extractor and dishwasher are all built in for a sleek look, and there's space for a fridge-freezer and washing machine too. A small table fits alongside the stairs, perfect for day-to-day mealtimes.

Moving upstairs, the middle floor offers great flexibility. The room here is accessed via an archway from the lobby and offers more of those breath-taking scenic views. The vendor uses this space as an office and it's wonderful just sitting back and watching the light change as clouds chase the sun across the valley. This large room would make a brilliant multi-function space – perhaps a second reception room with a sofa bed for guests. There's room to tuck a desk into a corner too, if you need space to work from home. Alternatively it would make a stunning full-time third double bedroom. Across the hall is a good-sized house bathroom which is neutrally decorated and fitted with a white bathroom suite with an electric shower over the bath.

Up the stairs again and we reach the top floor, which comprises two generous double bedrooms, both flooded with light. The master is especially large and again features those unforgettable valley views. Throw open the curtains and have a cuppa in bed staring at Stoodley Pike – there's no better way to start the day! There's plenty of space for wardrobes in here too, as well as a useful walk-in cupboard built over the stairs. Across the landing bedroom two is another good double, this time with views onto the hillside opposite. The Vaillant gas combination boiler is located in a cupboard here and provides heating and hot water to the property. There's also a useful loft space accessed from the landing, ideal for storage.

Back outside, to the front of the house a small paved area provides enough space for a garden bench and a few pots to add a splash of colour to the frontage. Meanwhile, the back garden is a very good size, set over three levels, and has been carefully planned using drystone walling to create a colourful haven for wildlife. There's a small pond and a wide variety of birdlife are regular callers to the feeders, while bees buzz around the flowerbeds. The area closest to the house is flagged to create a sunny south-facing seating area from which to enjoy the views, and this would be a wonderful place for a barbeque or for eating outside during the warmer months.

This special home has been beautifully maintained by the current owner and is decorated neutrally ready for the next owners to move in and make it their own. The house is an excellent size and offers highly sought after garden space, with the added bonus of those incredible views.
