Built in 1968 by a Bradford engineer, The Brickworks is the kind of house the conservation area was not designed to protect and has quietly protected anyway.

The brick is laid in a stretcher bond with recessed joints that throw a line of shadow across the elevation all afternoon. The steel windows are original and were refurbished rather than replaced in 2022 — single glazed, draught sealed, and the reason the EPC is a C rather than a B.

The living room is double height with the original fireplace still in place.

The workshop at the end of the garden is insulated and serviced, and would convert to a studio without much argument from anyone.

Highlights

  • Original 1968 brickwork and steel windows, fully restored
  • Double-height living room with the fireplace as built
  • Insulated workshop at the end of the garden, with power and water
  • Ten minutes on foot from Saltaire station
