When the homes were built
What the age of Pateley Bridge homes means for your front door
49.3% of the 2,190 properties around Pateley Bridge centre were built before 1919, well above the 21% average across the towns we cover. Those roughly 1,100 houses were built with solid timber panelled doors; some survive, and many have been swapped for uPVC or composite.
14.2% of properties date from 1945 to 1972 and 21.5% from 1973 to 1999: 35.7% together, about 780 homes, below the 45% average for those decades. Many of the 1,100 or so older homes here have had their doors replaced with uPVC as well, and a yellowed white uPVC door takes a Kolorbond-certified respray with a 10-year guarantee.
13.2% of properties, about 290, are post-2000, below the 17% average; on those a builder-fitted composite or GRP door is likely, and composite doors respray from £200.
For comparison, 47.2% of properties in Summerbridge (3 miles away) and 48.1% in Kirkby Malzeard (7 miles) pre-date 1919, so Pateley Bridge has a similar share of period housing. Since 2000 the figure is 13.2% here, 17.0% in Summerbridge and 18.5% in Kirkby Malzeard. For the uPVC-era decades from 1945 to 1999 the shares are 35.7% here, 35.2% in Summerbridge and 33.4% in Kirkby Malzeard.
Who lives in Pateley Bridge, and what that changes
73.6% of the 1,960 households in Pateley Bridge live in detached or semi-detached houses, against 58% across all our towns, and with 49.3% of properties pre-dating 1919 many of them are older houses. On a period front the door is often the one painted surface on show, so a colour that sits with the stone or brick around it matters more than one that matches a modern garage.
73.0% of households own their home and 18.9% rent privately, against averages of 63% and 19%. If you own, it is worth spraying the frame at the same time, while landlords of the roughly 520 rented homes here may prefer one hard-wearing colour so touch-ups stay simple.
Choosing a door colour for Pateley Bridge
With 49.3% of fronts pre-dating 1919, deep heritage shades are the natural fit in Pateley Bridge: Farrow & Ball Railings, Hague Blue, dark greens and traditional reds; see our guide to front door colours for Yorkshire stone houses.
