Oakdene Road, Marple

Welcome to Oakdene Road, a detached dormer bungalow offering a wealth of potential for updating and remodelling, located in a highly desirable area just a short stroll into the bustling centre of Marple.

With over 1,300 sq ft of living accommodation, the property currently comprises;

• Ground floor - entrance hallway; dual aspect living room; kitchen diner, dining room;  two bedrooms and bathroom
• First floor – third bedroom with eaves storage, WC and dressing room/study/optional fourth bedroom

To help you visualise the potential and to truly demonstrate the opportunity, we have teamed up with the specialists at Peek Home (as seen on Kirstie & Phil’s ‘Love It Or List It’) to create sketch plans and a 3D video walkthrough – which you will find further details of in the gallery.   Careful consideration has been given to the approximate costs of the work in relation to the asking price and the ceiling price achievable for properties of the style and type in the location.

A full video tour of the property as it is today is also available.

A spacious entrance hall welcomes you in to the property and to the right, the living room is light bright and spacious with dual aspect windows to the front and rear.  The décor is neutral and a coal effect gas fire and surround forms the centrepiece of the room.  

The kitchen sits just off the hall, to the rear of the property and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, double oven and gas hob with space for a breakfast table and chairs.  There is access to the rear garden from the kitchen, with a block paved patio area immediately outside. Given the L shape of the property at the back, we think there is great potential to ‘fill in’ and extend the kitchen/living accommodation.

The dining room sits just off the hallway with a large window looking out to the front aspect and stairs lead up to the first floor.  

Towards the rear of the property, there are two bedrooms and the family bathroom which is fully tiled with WC, hand wash basin and bath with overhead shower and screen.

Heading up to the first floor, there is a large bedroom with dormer window and an abundance of eaves storage.  A WC room sits adjacent to the bedroom and across the landing is another smaller room, currently utilised as a study which could also be a dressing room, nursery or fourth bedroom.  Subject to the necessary consents, the first floor could become a fantastic and sizeable master suite or guest accommodation.

The rear garden is accessible from the front of the property at either side and is fully enclosed making it a safe haven for pets and children.  The garden is laid mainly to lawn with a block paved patio and surrounded by mature hedges giving a sense of privacy and security.

The integral garage has an up and over garage door and can also be accessed internally through the house.  The driveway can comfortably accommodate more than one vehicle and the property is set back from the road with hedging to the front for privacy.

Oakdene Road is a highly desirable Marple address and No. 32 has the most incredible potential to become a truly stunning contemporary home.

WHY LIVE IN MARPLE?

Marple is one of those ‘best of both worlds’ locations.  Close enough to the city and transport links for commuters yet sits on the edge of the Peak District with rolling countryside on the doorstep.

Oakdene Road is well located for good local schools and sits within the catchment for both Ludworth Primary and St Mary’s Catholic Primary and Marple Hall Secondary School. (Source: Stockport.gov).  Stockport centre is approximately 5 miles (8km) by car and buses run regularly into Stockport and out to Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop and there's a circular service covering Romiley, Marple and Bredbury.

Marple railway station is circa 800m (0.5 miles) away with regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes or out to Sheffield via the Hope Valley line.

In recent years, Marple has welcomed numerous independent retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants giving residents superb choice for their leisure time.  Marple is home to a family run traditional independent cinema, the Regent, and it is one of the last remaining in the UK.

Children can enjoy the many well-equipped local parks including a skate park in the centre of the town, part of the Memorial Park.  Many of these parks enjoy fabulous views of the surrounding hills.  Etherow Country Park in Compstall plays host to a sailing club, Brabyns Park in Marple is well used for weekend sporting activities and by dog walkers and Lyme Park, owned by the National Trust is just a few miles away.  The Roman Lakes leisure complex is popular with walkers, horse riders and anglers and more recently volunteers have sought to preserve the remains of Samuel Oldknow’s historic mill.  The Middlewood Way is a cycle path, popular with runners and walkers which follows the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway line south from Rose Hill to Macclesfield.

The Peak Forest Canal runs for 15 miles between Ashton under Lyne and Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire, passing through Marple through the famed flight of 16 locks, separating the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ parts of the canal.  Follow the canal path and take in the breathtaking views of the nearby Peak District; you are never far away from some outstanding walks.

There is a real sense of community and a number of local events are organised including Marple Carnival and the Food and Drink Festival. All in all, it’s a great place to live.
