Moor Side (Oxenhope): what to know before moving day
The best-known building on Moorside Lane is the former Hawksbridge Baptist Church and Sunday School, a listed stone chapel of the early to mid 19th century. Its congregation dwindled, it was sold in 2012, and the conversion was shown on Channel 4's The Restoration Man in 2016. A little further on, Mould Greave is a listed house dated 1742, with 18th-century cottages and an older barn beside it, and Dunkirk Mill and its mill house stand by Dunkirk Beck and Dunkirk Bridge.
Bishop's Wood and Silver Wood lie close by, and West Shaw Lane and Hawksbridge Lane are the smaller lanes that branch off nearby. The listed buildings here are farmhouses, cottages, a mill and a chapel rather than long terraces, so the thing to describe is the approach: a shared yard, a gate, a track to the door or a barn with a wide opening. That tells the driver where the van can wait while it is loaded.
How the van gets to Moor Side (Oxenhope)
From Bradford the route data follows the B6144 through Cullingworth into Haworth, then Bridgehouse Lane (B6142) and Sun Street to Marsh Lane. Marsh Lane passes the hamlet of Marsh and the Methodist chapel there before it reaches Moorside Lane and Lee Lane at Moor Side, so a driver coming this way sees Marsh first.
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.

Moor Side (Oxenhope): questions before you book
Is Moor Side in Haworth or Oxenhope?
Oxenhope. Postcodes such as BD22 9QZ fall in the civil parish of Oxenhope, in the Worth Valley ward of Bradford Council, even though the quickest way in from Bradford runs through Haworth.
The old Hawksbridge chapel is now a house: can the van reach it?
The converted chapel is on Moorside Lane, a tertiary road, so the van can come along the lane itself. Converted chapels can have unusual doors and stairs, so send a photo of the entrance and the route to the rooms when you ask for a price.
