Station Road, Marple, Stockport SK6

A deceptively spacious 1920s mid-terrace home with four double bedrooms on the ever popular Station Road in the heart of Marple town centre.

If you’re familiar with the area, you'll know the location is a real winner here. You're literally a stone's throw from Marple Memorial Park and a children's playground, and just a short stroll from the brand-new Community Hub that's due to open next year. Everything you need — schools, shops, cafés and countryside walks — is right on your doorstep, making this an ideal spot for anyone who wants to feel properly connected to Marple life.

Inside, the house has a lovely flow and a contemporary feel throughout. The rear dining room features a beautiful fireplace and views out to the garden. It's open through to the lounge at the front, with another stunning fireplace and a large bay window with plantation shutters brings in plenty of natural light. Period features such as coving, picture rails and original doors along with traditional wood effect bring the character of the home to life.

The kitchen-breakfast room has modern painted shaker style cabinetry with integrated fridge, dishwasher and two ovens.  French doors open straight out to the rear patio and there’s a utility area with pantry storage under the stairs and a ground-floor WC.

Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms:

• Bedroom One – a double room to the rear with a decorative feature fireplace, picture rail, traditional radiator and garden views.
• Bedroom Two – another good double at the front with a lovely bay aspect and traditional radiator.
• Bedroom Three – a double to the rear with the former airing cupboard providing useful storage.
• Bedroom Four – currently used as a home office but still fits a double bed, making it flexible space for families with older children or anyone needing extra room to work from home.

The bathroom is gorgeous and beautifully appointed with a freestanding bath, Victorian-style tiles, a black-framed shower cubicle, tiled floor and even an artificial plant wall for a dash of personality.

The loft, accessed from the landing, has a pull-down ladder, part boarding and insulation.

The rear garden is designed for ultra low maintenance, with an extensive patio area, raised beds, a shed and pergola combined to create an outdoor entertaining space for all weathers.

The garden is fully enclosed and so there's rear access via a gate, with rights across the neighbouring garden as needed.

At the front, there’s a handy porch and a imprinted concrete driveway big enough for two cars.

Family Life In Marple:

Marple is a town within the Stockport borough and a true ‘best of both worlds’ location; it's close enough to the city and transport links for commuters yet sits on the edge of the Peak District with acres of countryside on the doorstep.

Marple is the IDEAL location for families with an excellent selection of independent retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants; as well as it’s own theatre and the Regent, an independent family run cinema where you can still enjoy an ice cream during the interval!  There’s plenty of community events such as Park Run, the Marple Carnival, the Marple Bridge Street Party, the Food and Drink Festival and a monthly Makers Market to name but a few. 

Construction is underway for the Marple Community Hub which is scheduled to open soon housing a five lane swimming pool, fitness suite, library, café and shared community spaces.

There are two railway stations - Marple (just down the road) and Rose Hill - 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.  Within the complex is the Garden House, a charity-run community farm, open to the public with pigs, alpacas, Shetland Ponies and more.

Runners, walkers and cyclists use the Middlewood Way, a path following 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.
