About this property

Saltaire House is a Grade 2 listed, original mill workers cottage, resting in Saltaire Village, set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring roadside parking, an enclosed courtyard, and thoughtfully styled interiors. Built at the height of the Industrial Revolution, Saltaire is ideal for couples seeking a cultural, historical and well-connected base, this traditional home offers easy access to Salts Mill and the surrounding attractions.

Just moments away, the heart of Saltaire reveals Salts Mill, home to independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and the renowned David Hockney Gallery.

For a taste of local heritage and outdoor charm, a 10 min walk takes you to the historic Shipley Glen Tramway, a beautifully preserved Victorian funicular offering a ride upto the glen giving sweeping views over the surrounding woodland. Nearby, Roberts Park provides a peaceful escape with its landscaped gardens, open green spaces, and scenic walking routes along the River Aire and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal, perfect for leisurely strolls or a relaxing afternoon outdoors. Venture further to Skipton to discover its historic castle, bustling market, and picturesque canal routes. For literary heritage, Haworth offers the Brontë Parsonage Museum and moorland walks, while Halifax invites visits to the Piece Hall and Eureka!

The National Children’s Museum. The southern Yorkshire Dales also lie within easy reach, providing open countryside and picturesque trails. Return to the charm and convenience of Saltaire House after each day of exploration.

Settled in the heart of West Yorkshire, a short distance away from the bustling market town of Shipley, rests the Victorian model village of Saltaire. Aptly named after its founder, Sir Titus Salt, a textile entrepreneur who made his fortune in the industry in Bradford, and the River Aire in which Sir Salt built a textile mill nearby, the village was created with the purpose to relocate his business and employees. Decorated with spectacular Italianate architecture and boasting a rich history, Saltaire has since been recognised as a World Heritage Site, and is home to a collection of local amenities and attractions that welcome visitors, including a plethora of eateries, shopping opportunities and art galleries to name a few. Serviced by a train station, the nearby towns of Shipley and Baildon are both within easy reach, where guests can find a wider variety of amenities, or keep entertained with a round of golf or a scenic stroll along the Aire Sculpture Trail. The bustling city of Bradford rests slightly further afield, home to Bradford Industrial Museum, the National Science and Media Museum and the historic Alhambra Theatre, and if you time it right, you might even catch the magical water symphony at City Park Mirror Pool and Fountain. Saltaire makes an idyllic base from which to explore the delights of West Yorkshire.
