Man with a Van Hawks Stones

Moving in Hawks Stones: what to know first

The homes at Hawks Stones are single houses and farmhouses standing on their own beside Kebs Road, known by name rather than number, so give the house name with the postcode. Kebs Road is a fast moor road with no village street to pull into, so the van should load in your drive or yard rather than on the road. Tell us whether there is room to turn a long van at the house or whether it will need to reverse in.

The lanes off Kebs Road are another matter. Sagar Lane and Delf Lane are bridleways, partly dirt and grass, where only vehicles with a private right of access may drive, so the van will not use them without your say-so. If your house is reached along one, send a photo of the track and say how far the door is from Kebs Road, so the carry is part of the agreed price.

Hawks Stones: the local picture

Kebs Road is an open moorland road under the national 60 mph limit, and the houses sit beside it on their own, with names rather than numbers: Hawk Mount, Hawkstones Farm, and Hawk Stones West, a listed mid-19th-century laithe house in stone with a slate roof and mullioned windows, house and barn in one range. Sunnyview Kennels and Cattery shares the OL14 8SB postcode. Further off, Hartley Royd Farmhouse is early 17th century.

Around the road the rest is moorland and bridleways. Sagar Lane, Stony Lane and Delf Lane are bridleways, Delf Lane open only to vehicles with a private right of access, and the junction called Four Lane Ends keeps a name from the Ordnance Survey's First Series maps. Redmires Water is the stream nearby.

How the van gets to Hawks Stones

On the suggested route from Bradford the van reaches Hebden Bridge by Denholme, Oxenhope and the A6033, turns up Badger Lane and follows the Long Causeway through Blackshaw Head onto Kebs Road. Along Kebs Road, at the Eastwood Road junction, a listed early 19th-century milestone gives the distances to Burnley and Halifax. Allow roughly 50 to 60 minutes.

The drive from Bradford is roughly 50 to 60 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
