Man with a Van Upper Eastwood

Moving in Upper Eastwood: what to know first

Upper Eastwood is farmhouses, cottages and barns spread along hillside lanes, not a street of houses. The van climbs from the A646 at the valley bottom by East Lee Lane, a surfaced farm lane past East Lee Farm, then uses Staups Lane, Eastwood Road or the made-up end of Eastwood Lane. These lanes serve working farms and the dairy's milk tanker, so expect to meet farm traffic and give way. Give the house name as well as the postcode, and say where you usually pull in.

Not every house has a road to the door. Grey Stone Lane is a short service road that ends as a footpath, and the upper part of Eastwood Lane is a bridleway where only vehicles with a private right of way may drive. If your house is along one of those, send a photo of the gate and the track and say how far the door is from the last place a car can reach, so the carry is known when the price is agreed.

Upper Eastwood: the local picture

Many of the buildings here are listed. Upper House Farmhouse is late 17th century with a porch added in 1716, and the barn south-west of it has a round window set with four keystones over the cart entry. Chapel House Cottages were once a single house used for worship and are now four cottages; Chapel House Farmhouse next to them is an early 18th-century laithe house, with home and barn under one roof. Whiteley Royd Farmhouse and the long range at Grey Stone, house, cottages and barn together, complete the group.

These are 17th and 18th-century houses with mullioned windows, so a tall wardrobe or a deep sofa is worth measuring against the doors and stairs before the day. East Lee Farm below the hamlet has a working dairy, with a space kept for the milk tanker, so farm vehicles share the lanes. Staups Dam and the Great Rock viewpoint are close by, next to Rock End Moor.

How the van gets to Upper Eastwood

The van leaves the A646 Halifax Road for East Lee Lane, then takes Grey Stone Lane or Eastwood Lane. Part of Eastwood Lane is a bridleway track with private vehicle access only, so tell us which house it is and how you normally drive to it. From Bradford the suggested route crosses the moor by Denholme and Oxenhope to Hebden Bridge and turns west along the valley, 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.
