Heaton

Stone houses, cobbled streets and ancient woodland. Discover the warm, welcoming charm of Heaton.

There’s a real community feel about this part of Bradford. Perhaps that’s because, sandwiched between allotments, golf courses and the ancient Heaton Woods that separate the area from nearby Shipley, Heaton has retained its distinctiveness.

Or perhaps it’s the thriving shops, cafes, pub (the Kings Arms is real ale heaven) and the beautiful stone-built Victorian and Edwardian houses that make this feel like a piece of Yorkshire you really want to be a part of. Either way, Heaton is a sought after area of the city – and one that’s definitely worth considering if you’re looking for a great family home in a vibrant, welcoming location.
