Thorn Bank, Station Road, Marple, SK6 6PA

Through the front door and you’re greeted by a wide hallway with those gorgeous original floor tiles that have seen generations come and go. Two large reception rooms, so you can do the classic “grown-ups’ lounge” and a playroom, or keep one as a formal dining space, they both have great fireplaces for Christmas decorations. At the back is the real heart of the home: an open-plan kitchen/snug where cooking, lounging and homework all happily collide. There’s a multi-fuel burner for cosy evenings, plenty of space for a big table, and doors out to a balcony- morning coffee spot sorted.

Down on the cellar level, the house shows off its practical side. There are four separate chambers currently working hard as a pantry, general storage, a coal/wood store and a laundry room (because who wants baskets of washing taking over the kitchen?). And then the fun bits: a cinema room for film nights and a rear gym with its own shower room. That’s bathroom number three, by the way, ideal after a workout. 

Head up to the first floor and you’ll find four generous bedrooms, each one happily takes a double bed, plus a beautiful family bathroom with a roll top bath, and a seperate shower room. The main bedroom has its own ensuite.

On the top floor are two additional bedrooms. They’re currently set up as a bedroom and a dressing room, giving you loads of flexibility—think teenager territory or a home office .However you use them, you’ve got a proper six-bedroom home.

Outside, the garden is all about simple, green calm: mainly laid to lawn with a mix of trees and bushes. At the front, a gated driveway brings welcome privacy and provides off road parking for several cars. 

And the location? You can wander to Marple and Marple Bridge for everyday bits, weekend brunch, or a riverside stroll. Schools, parks, coffee, trains, everything that makes day-to-day living easy is close enough to do on foot. The property is within catchment to Ludworth Primary School and Marple Hall School. 

In short, this is one of those rare houses that blends period character with proper, practical family living. Original features where you want them, modern spaces where you need them, and more rooms than you’ll know what to do with. Come and have a look. It just feels like home.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £45 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable
