Homes in Morley
Morley is a former textile town south west of Leeds, with a grand Victorian town hall and a centre of stone buildings. Victorian stone and brick terraces built for workers in the woollen mills fill much of the town, and the town is popular with commuters thanks to its rail link and access to the M62 and M621.
Gildersome and Churwell are villages with stone cottages and newer homes, while Drighlington and Tingley offer inter-war and post-war semis and newer estates. Bruntcliffe has a mix of older and newer housing. Morley has seen significant new-build development on its edges. The town sits on the Yorkshire coalfield, and coal was mined in the area, so mining legacy is a consideration. Prices sit below most of Leeds, so first-time buyers are a major part of the market.
Areas we cover include Gildersome, Churwell, Drighlington, Tingley, Bruntcliffe.
