Moving in Nook (Hebden Bridge): what to know first
Nook is a corner of old stone buildings where Nook Lane meets Height Road, which carries on south as Heights Road. Those two are the made-up roads; nearly everything else round the hamlet is track, among them Latham Lane, Popples Lane, Old Laithe Lane and Raw Lane, with Law Lane permissive only and Rowland Lane private for vehicles. If your home is reached by one of the tracks, tell us where the tarmac ends and how firm the surface is.
There is no street of houses here, only long stone ranges where cottage, house and barn run on under one line of roofs: Middle Nook was split into four cottages with a barn attached, and Nook Farmhouse grew from a late 17th-century cottage. The doors and the yard, not the road, decide where the van stands, so send a photo of both and say whether a long van can turn in the yard.
Nook (Hebden Bridge): the local picture
Almost everything here is old and listed. Middle Nook, a mid-17th-century house later split into four cottages, has a 19th-century barn attached; Nook Farmhouse grew from a late 17th-century cottage, with the farmhouse added in the 18th century and a barn in the 19th. Far Nook, derelict, has a timber-framed core cased in stone, and there is a second derelict house just north-east of Middle Nook.
With converted farm buildings the run from door to road is often not straight. If you live in one, send photos of the doorways and the yard, and say where a long van can stand without blocking Height Road.
How the van gets to Nook (Hebden Bridge)
Nook Lane links Height Road with the crossroads of Billy Lane, Lane Ends Lane and Popples Lane; Billy Lane runs on to Parrock Lane and Walker Lane, and Lane Ends Lane joins Sandy Gate Lane back towards Hebden Bridge. Height Road heads south to Heights Road. From Bradford it is roughly 35 to 50 minutes, through Halifax and up the valley.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 35 to 50 minutes. That is an estimate, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.
