Church Lane, Marple, SK6

Property

Steeped in history and brimming with character, Towercroft is a stunning late-Victorian detached residence built in 1891, proudly positioned on historic Church Lane in Marple. An etched glass doorway off the decorative entrance hall, inscribed with "The Surgery," serves as a reminder of its former use as a doctor’s practice, while a separate stable block and tack room recall an era when horse-drawn carriages were essential for travel.

Towercroft is a truly unique home, retaining a wealth of original period features, including exquisite ceiling mouldings, parquet flooring, a grand mahogany staircase, and intricate stained-glass detailing. Large sash windows flood the interiors with natural light, complementing five generously proportioned bedrooms and multiple reception rooms.

Set within an expansive plot, the property enjoys mature gardens, providing a peaceful space to enjoy. A quadruple-width garage block offers extensive storage or conversion potential - whether as a workshop, studio, or additional living space.

Location

Church Lane has long been central to the town’s heritage, featuring landmarks such as All Saints’ Church, dating back to the 16th century, and the remains of Marple’s original stocks. Towercroft stands as a proud reminder of this enduring legacy, just moments from Marple’s town centre, picturesque canal walks, and excellent transport links.
