Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, England

Our Grade II listed house is located two minutes from the heart of Hebden Bridge, a stunning and historic market town in West Yorkshire. The house, dating from the early 19th century, sleeps up to seven in three bedrooms (one en suite) and has views across the heavily wooded Calder valley, with the river at the bottom of the garden and the canal a stone's throw beyond that. The house is typical of a style unique to the area, with rooms across five floors and a small, colourful back garden. We have TV, DVD, an Xbox, high speed internet, central heating and a wood burning stove in the living room. We have two children who are happy to share their toys and a great selection of board games and books.

About the location

Hebden Bridge is a thriving town, with plenty of pubs, cafes and restaurants, an excellent independent cinema showing everything from children's blockbusters to foreign arthouse movies, and a music venue recently voted one of the best for its size in the country. One magazine called Hebden the 'fourth funkiest town in the world' and there is no doubt that the town punches above its weight in terms of things to do. There are also markets twice a week and a farmer's market twice a month.

But it's the local area that makes the town extra special. It is set in a wooded river valley and stunning walks begin five minutes from the town centre. The area is also a magnet for cyclists (the Tour de France came through Hebden Bridge a couple of years ago), mountain bikers and fell runners. Howarth, hometown of the Bronte sisters, is a 15 minute drive away. You can take the train from Hebden direct to buzzing Manchester and Leeds (35 and 50 minutes) and historic York (90 minutes).
