Barlow Wood Drive, Stockport, SK6

A one-of-a-kind, luxuriously designed true bungalow, perfectly situated near the canal. Boasting impressive views and in a prime semi-rural location, this exceptional home combines a beautiful living space, quality fittings & complete privacy

Property

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac of just eight homes, this beautifully refurbished bungalow stands out as something truly special. The current owner has meticulously and opulently updated the property to an extremely high standard, creating a home that combines style, comfort, and beautiful surroundings.

The spacious living room is an absolute highlight, opening into a large conservatory that offers superb views of the surrounding area. With its solid oak herringbone flooring, a striking marble fireplace, and a log burner, this space is both elegant and inviting, a definite feature of this property that you won’t likely find elsewhere!

From the living room, two routes lead to the rest of the home. One side provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. On the other side, you’ll find a bright kitchen-diner and an additional large bedroom with an en-suite.

There’s also a flexible room off the main living area that could serve as a fifth bedroom or be used as a formal dining room, depending on your needs.

Outside

The property is set on a generous plot, featuring a spacious block-paved driveway at the front, bordered by a charming cottage-style garden. From here, gates open into an entrance courtyard, creating a welcoming transition between the outdoors and the home.
The rear garden, accessible via a pathway along the side of the property, is thoughtfully designed. It includes a large wooden deck, perfect for outdoor seating or entertaining, with a rope gate that leads to a terraced garden. One of the standout features of this space is the stunning view, which stretches across Mellor and the surrounding countryside, offering a unique backdrop.

Location

Barlow Wood is a hidden gem of a cul-de-sac in Strines, perched above Strines Road and just a few minutes’ walk from the scenic Peak Forest Canal. This property is perfect for those seeking a private home with glorious views - enjoyable even on cloudy days - and a love for outdoor living.

For those feeling adventurous, a walk to The Ridge in Marple offers even more stunning scenery. Alternatively, Marple town centre is just a 20-minute stroll along the canal, combining convenience with tranquillity.

Agent Comment

This home is a rare combination of elegance, privacy, and thoughtful design. From the moment you step inside, the 22’ x 22’ living space makes an immediate impression with its grand proportions. It’s not just the size of the room that stands out - it strikes a perfect balance between spaciousness and comfort. The warmth of the fireplace adds a cozy touch, creating an inviting atmosphere to enjoy.

The rest of the property continues in the same vein, with tasteful décor, stylish fittings, and well-proportioned rooms throughout. A standout feature is one of the main bedrooms, which boasts a large fireplace with a log burner and a sleek, modern en-suite shower room.
The exterior is equally as impressive. The rear offers far-reaching views and complete privacy, while the front is framed by a delightful cottage-style garden, adding to the home’s charm and character the minute you pull upto the driveway
