2 Salterlee Villas, Shibden, HX3 6XN

A WOODLAND SETTING MEETS BOLD DESIGN AND RICH CHARACTER IN THIS VERSATILE HOME

Tucked away in a secluded pocket of Shibden that feels more like a private hamlet, 2 Salterlee Villas is a standout home that blends old and new architecture with characterful interiors. Enveloped by mature trees and overlooking a peaceful green where deer roam and birds sing, the setting alone is captivating — but step inside and you’ll find it every bit as unique, characterful, and inviting.

GROUND FLOOR

ENTRANCE LOUNGE
Inside, you're met with a wide, light-filled space framed by a stunning picture window that draws your eye straight through to the garden beyond. The exposed stone feature wall adds texture, contrasting beautifully with soft pink tones.

A Rangemaster oven with five-ring gas hob sits beneath a matching extractor, while the kitchen island includes a wine fridge and a chunky rough-cut breakfast bar. An Aduro cylindrical stove adds warmth, and full-width bifold doors create a seamless connection to the garden. A feature archway leads into the sitting room, while a separate pantry adds further functionality.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Outside, the home truly comes into its own. To the front, a flagged terrace and lawn look out over the tranquil green, framed by mature trees and rich planting — perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding.

To the rear, bifold doors from both the kitchen and lounge open onto a large flagged terrace with a tree at its centre — a natural focal point for al fresco living. A built-in bread oven and charming wendy house add whimsical charm, while stone steps rise through a rockery to a children’s play platform with built-in slide. Beyond lies a gateway into private woodland.

A raised flagstone terrace at the garden’s end features an outdoor fireplace and log store, creating an enchanting space for year-round entertaining.

LOCATION
Nestled in the wooded hillside of Shibden, this peaceful spot combines rural seclusion with excellent access to Halifax town centre and the wider Calder Valley. The Shibden Valley is famed for its scenic beauty, rich history, and welcoming community — and with woodland walks on your doorstep, it’s a perfect retreat for nature lovers.
