Miles Hill: what to know before moving day
The main part is the Miles Hill estate of 1920s council houses, brick semi-detached pairs and terraces, on streets such as Miles Hill Crescent, Bank View and Stainbeck Walk. If the path to your door is long, stepped or shared, tell us when you ask for a price.
To the west is Beckhill, a smaller 1970s estate of mainly brick terraced houses. It has only one way in by car, from Stainbeck Road, with ginnels linking it on foot to Potternewton Lane from Beckhill Gate. If you live deep inside Beckhill, the van comes in from Stainbeck Road, and it helps to know how far your door is from the nearest spot a long van can stop.
Scott Hall Leisure Centre is on Scott Hall Road just north of Potternewton Lane, with a row of shops nearby, and makes an easy landmark. Mill Field Primary Academy on Potternewton Mount replaced the old Miles Hill Primary School, which was demolished in 2008.
How the van gets to Miles Hill
Scott Hall Road, the A61 dual carriageway, runs up the east side of Miles Hill from Sheepscar towards Moortown, with a guided bus route along it. Potternewton Lane forms the southern edge and Stainbeck Road the northern one. From Bradford, the van can reach Scott Hall Road through the city centre or from the A6120 Ring Road at Moortown. Scott Hall Leisure Centre is an estimated roughly 25 to 40 minutes from Bradford.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 40 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
