Moving in Cononley Woodside: what to know first
Woodside is farmhouses and a few houses around a junction of three lanes: Woodside Lane from Cononley, Stockshott Lane and the lane north to Carleton. Swires Lane, which leaves nearby, turns into a track over a wooden bridge marked for private vehicles only, so it is no way in for the van.
With farm drives rather than kerbs, loading is from a yard or the verge of a quiet lane. Say whether the van can turn in your yard, and how far the door is from where it can stop.
Cononley Woodside: the local picture
The two Woodside farmhouses give the place its name, and both are listed. Low Woodside Farmhouse is late 17th-century stone, refronted in the 19th century, and High Woodside Farmhouse, probably of the same date, has a doorway with monolithic jambs and a cambered head. A little to the south, Scarcliffe Farmhouse, with its attached barn and cart entry, is mid-18th-century.
Carleton Biggin Farm and Bareshaw Beck are the other names nearby, and the Airedale railway line passes through the fields close by. With one shared postcode covering several farms, the house name is what gets the van to the right yard. With a 17th-century farmhouse, measure sofas and wardrobes against the doorways before the day.
How the van gets to Cononley Woodside
Woodside Lane runs north out of Cononley to the junction, a little over a kilometre, and is the simplest way in: from Bradford the van comes up the A629 and crosses to Cononley by Cononley Lane, roughly 35 to 45 minutes. From the Skipton side, the tertiary lane from Carleton comes down to the same junction, and Stockshott Lane heads off south-west.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 45 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Cononley Woodside
Should I put Cononley or Carleton on the booking?
Cononley. Woodside is inside Cononley parish even though the lane north runs on to Carleton; give the farm or house name with BD20 8PE, as that postcode covers more than one property.
Can the van use Swires Lane?
No. Swires Lane becomes a track over a wooden bridge marked for private vehicles only. Come in by Woodside Lane from Cononley or by the lane from Carleton, and give the farm name with BD20 8PE.
Where is the nearest station if someone travels separately?
Cononley, on Main Street in the village a little over a kilometre south down Woodside Lane. It has trains to Leeds and to Bradford Forster Square, so anyone travelling separately can meet the van at the house.
