Huddersfield's homes, by the numbers
Kirklees in the 2021 census: 177,989 households, 87% houses, 13% flats.
Between the town centre and the Colne and Holme valleys, better than three households in ten in a terrace at Crosland Moor, Netherton, Golcar and Ashbrow. In a terrace or a valley cottage the staircase rises directly out of the room or the hall, in full view of whatever floor is laid there.
Huddersfield’s Victorian stone heritage is striking, grand civic architecture, honey-toned gritstone terraces and villas in Marsh and Lindley, and characterful weavers’ cottages throughout the Holme and Colne valleys. A university town in the Pennines, it blends period stone homes, student rentals and desirable village properties in Holmfirth and Kirkburton.
Whether the hard floor stops at the bottom step or carries on up the flight is a decision most people make by default. It changes how the stairs sound, how they grip underfoot and what the junction at the bottom has to look like — so it is worth making deliberately.
