Cross Lane, Marple, Stockport SK6

Are you looking for a family home you can put your own stamp on?

This extended three-bedroom semi-detached home has been in the same family for many years and is now ready for its next chapter. A much loved home, the property would benefit from cosmetic updating, however, offers the new owner a superb opportunity to modernise and create a home tailored to their own style. ND0151

To the front, a smart brick block-paved driveway provides space for two vehicles and leads to the storm porch and spacious hallway. The ground floor layout includes a bay-fronted lounge with decorative fireplace, French doors to the dining room and a conservatory overlooking the rear garden. The extended kitchen enjoys views of the garden and provides excellent storage and integrated appliances.  From the kitchen, there’s a separate WC and access into the attached garage, ideal for storage and also houses the boiler.

Upstairs on the first floor, there are three good sized bedrooms – two doubles and a large single – all with fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is generous in size and features both a bath and shower cubicle, and next to the bathroom is a separate WC with hand wash basin, a convenient feature for a busy household.

The garden is a real highlight: an attractive space with block-paved patio, expanse of lawn, and mature trees offering privacy – an ideal outdoor area for families and pets to enjoy.

This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a spacious, extended home in a sought-after part of Marple, with plenty of scope to update and add value.

The Local Area

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 the countryside on the doorstep.

In recent years, Marple has welcomed numerous independent retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants giving residents superb choice for their leisure time.  There’s a monthly Maker’s Market, the Marple Carnival held annually in June and various other events adding to the community feel. 

The Marple Community Hub is scheduled to open within the next 12 months and residents will benefit from a five lane swimming pool, library and café, fitness suite, shared community spaces and will house the Marple clinic.

Marple is home to a family run traditional independent cinema, the Regent, and it is one of the last remaining in the UK.

There are two railway stations - Rose Hill and Marple - each with regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes.  Buses run regularly into Stockport and out to Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop and there's a circular service covering Romiley, Marple and Bredbury.  Commuting by car has never been more convenient with the A555 linking Hazel Grove to Manchester Airport with the A34, John Lewis at Cheadle and Handforth Dean, home to M&S, Tesco and more, eminently more accessible.

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 Garden House is a charity-run community farm, open to the public with pigs, alpacas, Shetland Ponies and more.

From Cross Lane there's easy access to the Middlewood Way, a popular cycle path 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.
