Man with a Van Brookhouse

Moving in Brookhouse: what to know first

Brookhouse is a single property in the valley of Hebble Brook, beside the Halifax Golf Club course, with no street of its own. The nearest public roads are Lane Head Lane and Rocks Lane, which runs out to the A629, while Ogden Lane to the north is a track and Stod Fold is a private gravel track. Where the van can stop, and how far it is from there to the door, are the two things to settle before we fix a price.

Send a photo or two of the track, the gate and the turning space at the house, and say whether the ground stays firm in wet weather. Keighley Road, the A629, runs at 50 mph, so the van never waits there; it comes in by Rocks Lane or Per Lane. The golf club's car park belongs to the club, so ask there before anyone relies on it on moving day.

Brookhouse: the local picture

There is just one building here, with no neighbour for roughly 300 metres, so any move here is a one-off job planned around that address. Hebble Brook and Carrs Beck both run within 100 metres of it, beside the golf course, and Middle Grain Beck is a little further north-west. The course itself is an 18-hole, par 70 layout.

Around it the landmarks are water. Ogden Water, a Calderdale Council local nature reserve round Ogden Reservoir, is about 700 metres north, and Mixenden Reservoir, which Yorkshire Water looks after, lies a similar distance south. The nearest homes in number are at Upper Brockholes, just over half a kilometre to the south-east, beside the listed Mount Sion chapel.

How the van gets to Brookhouse

Lane Head Lane passes about 170 metres from the point, with Union Lane and Rocks Lane nearby. Rocks Lane and Per Lane both meet Keighley Road, the A629, where the bus stops carry their names. Stod Fold, the track towards the brewery, is fine gravel. The run out from Bradford to this corner of Calderdale is roughly 20 to 35 minutes; tell us exactly how the property is reached from the lane before we fix a price.

The drive from Bradford is roughly 20 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
