Moving in High Bradley: what to know first
High Bradley is a small cluster of stone houses with a couple of barns, and there is no parking area anywhere in it. The van stops on High Bradley Lane or in a yard by arrangement, as the lane into the houses is private and the ways beyond are tracks.
Farmhouses of the 1670s have small, deep-set openings and mullioned windows, so a large sofa may need careful handling or may not go in at all. Measure doorways and stair turns before booking, and send a photo of the approach.
High Bradley: the local picture
Four of the old houses are listed, three of them dated. Aire View Farmhouse carries the date 1672 over its upper windows and runs to five bays; Cragg House is dated 1673 and was extended in 1791; Moor Cottage has initials and a date scratched above its chamfered doorway; and Old Hall Farmhouse, late 17th century, has an L-shaped plan with a mullioned and transomed window. The aisled barn near Far Fold Farm is older still, put at about 1500.
With houses of this age, check that a sofa or wardrobe will clear the doorway before booking. The lane into the cluster, also called High Bradley, is private, and Back Lane and New Dales Lane beyond it are gravel tracks, so agree where the van stands and whether it can turn.
How the van gets to High Bradley
High Bradley Lane, an unclassified road, runs up from Low Bradley to the hamlet. From Bradford the van comes along the A629 towards Skipton, turns off for Low Bradley and takes the lane north, roughly 35 to 45 minutes. Beyond the houses the ways are tracks, not roads for a loaded Transit.
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 High Bradley
High Bradley or Low Bradley: does it matter which I write?
It does for finding the house. Both are in Bradleys Both parish with BD20 postcodes, but High Bradley is the hamlet up the lane; writing High Bradley and BD20 9EX stops the driver hunting round Low Bradley's streets first.
Can the van turn at the top of High Bradley Lane?
Only if a yard or drive allows it. The road named High Bradley is private and Back Lane and New Dales Lane beyond are gravel tracks, so say whether your house has room for the van to turn.
Low Snaygill has a BD23 postcode. Is it still Bradleys Both?
Yes. Postcodes.io puts BD23 2UE, at Low Snaygill, in Bradleys Both parish and Aire Valley ward, although its postcode district is BD23 rather than High Bradley's BD20 9EX. Give the full postcode so the van goes to the right end of the parish.
