Ladstone Park is a small, high-quality residential park in the hillside village of Norland near Halifax, created exclusively for over-45s. Brand-new, single-storey park homes sit in landscaped grounds with private gardens, driveways and far-reaching views over the Ryburn and Calder Valleys. This pet-friendly community has direct access to Norland Moor and Nature Reserve, with village amenities, bus links and the towns of Sowerby Bridge, Ripponden and Halifax all within easy reach.

Description

Ladstone Park is designed as a premium, low-density development of around 28–30 luxury park homes, arranged along quiet park roads with planting, open views and space around each plot. Homes are detached, single-storey and built to modern specifications, typically with private parking alongside and manageable gardens, so day-to-day living feels more like a contemporary bungalow than a traditional park.

Set above the Ryburn Valley, the park looks out across open countryside yet sits just a short distance from Norland village and nearby Ripponden and Barkisland. Norland Moor and Nature Reserve lie directly across from the development, giving almost instant access to heather moorland, Ladstone Rock, walking trails and valley viewpoints, with traditional pubs and local services dotted along the routes. Halifax, with its wider shopping, eateries, Piece Hall and transport links, is around five miles away, and both Leeds and Manchester are reachable by road within commuting distance, traffic and route dependent.
