Your Chance To Live Out Your Own Period Drama - In A Sought After Spot, Just A Short Walk From The Shops. You get the larger portion of this imposing Victorian villa but can enjoy all of the gorgeous stained glass and timeless details, combined with stylish modern upgrades and a south-facing private garden.

This is a unique opportunity to own a one of a kind period property In Elland, quite unlike anything else.

The entrance hall does it first - pilasters, a crystal chandelier, original cornicing and a staircase that draws your eye straight up to one of the most romantic windows you'll find in any home in West Yorkshire.

In 1872, the original owner Frederic Crossley had it installed as a wedding gift for his new wife, Margaretta Isabella. It depicts Isabella and the Pot of Basil - a story from Boccaccio's Decameron - and it has been looking down on this staircase ever since.

From that moment, you know this is going to be a very different family home.

The two formal reception rooms sit to one side of the entrance hall. To the rear, the lounge has original cornicing, a cast iron open fireplace, a beautiful bay window overlooking the garden and ceiling height that makes the whole room feel different from anything built in the last hundred years. To the front, the dining room has the same quality - with a warm wooden fireplace surround with working coal fire, and another beautiful bay window frontage.

The living kitchen at the back of the ground floor is where the modern upgrade really lands. It's a proper cook's kitchen - gloss-fronted units running the full width, a curved central island with dark granite worktops and bar seating, integrated appliances and a hexagonal tile splashback. From the living area the French doors open directly onto the drive and garden areas so in summer the back of this house opens right up, and there's also a separate cloakroom and rear lobby off the back.

Upstairs, the landing is wide enough to use - and the current owners do, with a desk and armchairs making it a proper working space. The main bedroom at the rear has bay windows looking out over the garden and rooftops to open sky beyond and there is an adjoining en suite to keep the house bathroom free for the kids or guests.

The second double is another substantial room with high ceilings and arched sash window. The third bedroom is smaller but the arched sash window gives it real character - and a view worth waking up to. The house bathroom has a gorgeous freestanding bath, a separate enclosed shower and a timeless finish that won't date quickly.

Below ground is worthy of note. There are four rooms on the lower ground floor - all with power and heating already in place. It’s currently used as storage and utility space, with one having its own external door to the garden. At 744 sq ft, it's a serious footprint that lends itself well to a home office suite, an annexe or something more ambitious. Worth a conversation with local architect?

Electric gates open onto a large private driveway with space for several cars and a detached garage and workshop. The south-facing garden is well-kept and well-thought-through - a wide lawn, a paved patio with outdoor dining under a pergola and a covered hot tub area with bar seating.

It’s surprisingly private and gets the sun all day.

Victoria Road puts Elland's bars, restaurants and the Rex cinema within easy walking distance, along with schools and everyday amenities. Halifax and Huddersfield are both a short drive away, and the motorway network is close enough to matter for commuters heading further afield.

A comprehensively restored Victorian villa of scale and quality, in a town-centre position, with a garden like this and a lower ground floor that still has its best chapter ahead of it - properties like this don't come up very often.
