Hurst Dene and South Dene

Steeped in local history and instantly recognisable, Hurst Dene is one of Hebden Bridge’s most iconic Victorian homes, originally built as the developer’s own residence and designed to impress at every turn. Today, it remains a home of rare presence, where grand proportions, exquisite period craftsmanship and far reaching views combine to create something truly special.

What sets this property apart even further is South Dene, a beautifully appointed, fully self-contained one bedroom apartment beneath the main house. Whether you are seeking an income stream, multi generational living or a dedicated workspace, it offers complete flexibility without compromising the integrity of the main home.

From the moment you step inside, the sense of character is undeniable. The entrance hall is a showpiece in itself, with original Victorian tiled flooring, intricate panelling and a striking spindled staircase rising through the home. Stained glass windows cast soft light across the space, including delicate apple and pear motifs, while a rare William Morris panel within the front door adds a distinctive finishing touch.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both sociable and beautifully considered. Generous in scale, it blends warmth and practicality with underfloor heating, a log burning stove currently bioethanol and a bespoke window seat perfectly positioned to take in the sweeping valley views. A central breakfast bar anchors the space, ideal for everything from busy mornings to relaxed evenings with friends.

The adjoining dining room is made for entertaining. Elegant yet inviting, it showcases decorative plasterwork, a feature fireplace and a large bay window with stained glass, creating a space that feels equally suited to formal occasions or everyday family life.

The living room continues the theme of comfort, centred around an ornate Arts and Crafts carved fireplace. High ceilings and generous proportions enhance the sense of space, while more beautiful stained glass adds colour and character, offering a room that feels both impressive and wonderfully homely.

Upstairs, the home unfolds across two further floors, each offering flexibility and charm. The first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal suite with elevated views and its own en suite shower room. A second double bedroom features a character fireplace and built in wardrobe, while the third provides an ideal guest room, nursery or home office.

The family bathroom is a rare gem, retaining its original bath and striking period tiling, a beautifully preserved nod to the home’s Victorian heritage.

The second floor offers even more versatility, with two further rooms connected by a Jack and Jill shower room. One is a very spacious double bedroom with access to a small balcony, perfect for fresh air and quiet moments, while the adjoining room is currently used as a workspace, bathed in natural light and enjoying far reaching hillside views.

Outside, the lifestyle continues. A private sunken garden, finished with Italian tiles, creates a sheltered retreat ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Above, the unique upper lawn balcony, complete with astro turf and soft lighting, offers a magical setting for summer evenings overlooking the valley.

South Dene adds a completely different dimension to the property. Finished to a high standard, it features oak flooring throughout, a spacious living room with stone fireplace, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a well proportioned double bedroom. A second flexible room provides space for a study or dressing room, alongside a stylish bathroom. With its own utilities and identity, it is currently tenanted, offering immediate income, yet could easily adapt to suit a wide range of needs.

Homes of this calibre, offering such a seamless blend of character, scale, flexibility and income potential, rarely come to market. Positioned within easy reach of Hebden Bridge town centre, yet enjoying elevated views and a sense of privacy, plus three allocated parking spaces on the deeds, Hurst Dene is a home that delivers both connection and escape in equal measure.
