Woodhouse (Keighley): what to know before moving day
The homes are on a cluster of estate streets: Woodhouse Avenue, Woodhouse Walk, Woodhouse Grove, Woodhouse Drive and Woodhouse Way, with Denby Road, Park Close, Park Drive Road, Parkway, Oak Tree Green and Beech Tree Close around them. Dawson Road and Dawson Way are close by. With so many Woodhouse street names so close together, the street name and house number matter as much as the postcode.
The one real trap is Woodhouse Road. OpenStreetMap records a six-foot (about 1.8 metre) width limit on two parts of it, so if you live on it, say so when you book and the approach can be worked out before the day. Hog Holes Beck runs past the estate, Spring Bank and Greengate are the neighbouring named areas, and Knowle Mill, a four-storey gritstone mill of 1906 extended in 1926, is a listed landmark nearby.
How the van gets to Woodhouse (Keighley)
The route data from Bradford takes the A650 through Bingley and along the Aire Valley Road towards Keighley, then Wenning Street, Thwaites Bridge, Parkwood Street and Park Lane before turning on to Hainworth Wood Road North into the estate. South Street, the A629, is a few hundred metres away on the Ingrow side.
The drive from Bradford is roughly 25 to 35 minutes. That is an estimate from route data, not a timed run, and traffic changes it.

Woodhouse (Keighley): questions before you book
Why does the van avoid Woodhouse Road?
Parts of Woodhouse Road carry a six-foot width limit on the map, so the route data leaves it out. The estate is reached instead from Park Lane and Hainworth Wood Road North. If your door is on Woodhouse Road itself, mention it and the approach is agreed before the day.
