Hillside Grove, Marple Bridge, SK6

Welcome to No. 14 Hillside Grove. A super sized semi detached house set in a peaceful family friendly location in the Cote Green area of Marple Bridge. Well-positioned for local parks and the countryside and with primary schools and the village centre within walking distance, this is the ideal home for growing families. 

Set over two floors, the accommodation briefly comprises; 

Ground Floor: Hallway, lounge/diner, kitchen, playroom/study, utility/shower room, storage-garage 

First Floor: Three bedrooms, bathroom, WC, landing

Built in the 1970s, this property has some of the great features that defined the era – large windows that allow natural light to flood in,  a through lounge dining room with serving hatch to the kitchen, driveway parking and gardens to both the front and the back. Our sellers have owned the property since it was built and have lovingly maintained it during that time and whilst there’s some areas that a new owner will want to update, the house is immaculate and very ‘liveable’ for the foreseeable future.

An enclosed porch leads into a good sized hallway with the staircase to the first floor straight ahead and to the left, a door leading to the through lounge dining room.  Large windows at either end of the rooms fill the space with light and a gas fire sits in a surround in the living room providing additional warmth during the winter months.  Both rooms look on to attractive gardens with the living room to the front and the dining room at the rear.

The kitchen has a good range of traditional shaker style units with built in oven and gas hob and a tall standard width fridge freezer will fit nicely into the alcove at the rear.  

The study/playroom room adjacent to the kitchen is a bright, airy and versatile space which could also serve as an alternative dining or sitting room with patio doors leading to the rear garden.  To the other end of the room, a door leads to the shower room which doubles as a utility room with shower cubicle, basin and WC built into storage plus plumbing and space for washing machine and tumble dryer.

A further door leads to the storage space measuring approx. 2.2m x 1.7m and set within what was the original garage (also accessible from the front of the house via a modern electric roller door).

To the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which are doubles with fitted wardrobes.  The double bedroom to the rear enjoys far reaching views towards Compstall Brow.  The third bedroom is a good sized single, not a box room and looks out to the front aspect.

The main bathroom has a cream suite including bath with shower overhead, hand wash basin and bidet.  The WC is separate from the bathroom but situated adjacent with a non-load bearing wall ripe for removal to create one large room.  There is a storage cupboard housing the hot water cylinder in the bathroom.

Externally, the rear garden is fully enclosed and facing west, you’ll be able to make the most of the afternoon/evening sunshine.  There’s a patio immediately to the rear with plenty of space for planting out colourful pots and steps lead down to the lawn, flower beds and a garden shed.

To the front, there is a low maintenance garden largely paved and stoned with mature shrubs and a driveway.  

Situated towards the end of a family friendly street, it’s the perfect place to raise children and enjoy the many wonderful perks of living in Marple Bridge.

Living in Marple Bridge

Hillside Grove is located in the popular Cote Green area of Marple Bridge, a charming village on the outskirts of Stockport.  It’s 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.

Close by are three public houses and the village centre is a pleasant stroll (c.1km) from the property where you'll find a small selection of independent shops, cafes and public houses.   A little further on is the larger town of Marple with a wider range of amenities.  Transport links are excellent and Marple railway station, with regular services to Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes, is just a short walk on from the village centre.  

Hillside Grove is within the catchment area of two Ofsted 'Outstanding' schools - Ludworth Primary School and St Mary’s Catholic Primary (walkable, even with children in tow) and for those with children of secondary school age, there is Marple Hall School or Harrytown Catholic School.

There are plenty of local parks within walking distance - a small playground at Cote Green, Etherow Country Park or Brabyns Park - any of which are great for giving the dog a run out or keeping the kids entertained.  Those that enjoy walking or cycling will be hard pushed to find a better location with plenty of delightful areas of countryside to explore and you are just a stone’s throw from the Peak District. A walk into the hills will allow panoramic views of both town and countryside encompassing Edale and Kinder to the east and Greater Manchester to the west and on a clear day, as far as Runcorn.

There is a real sense of community in Marple Bridge and it’s a great place to live.
