Compstall Road, Marple Bridge, SK6

This substantial period property offers approximately 1,875 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation arranged over four levels, combining generous proportions with a bright, open feel that is increasingly difficult to find locally at this price point. The house has been thoughtfully maintained and improved by the current owners, retaining character while introducing practical modern upgrades.

The ground floor provides a series of versatile reception spaces that flow naturally from the main hallway. The living room is centred around a recently installed log burner, which forms a natural focal point and adds warmth (literally) and character to the space. To the rear, the house opens into lighter, more informal areas including a large dining / second sitting room, breakfast room and kitchen arrangement that benefits from excellent natural light, particularly in the evening when sunsets draw light deep into the rear of the property.

A notable advantage is the basement level, which is fully serviced with electrics and plumbing. Currently used as a dedicated laundry area housing the washing machine and tumble dryer, it frees valuable space from the kitchen while reducing operational noise within the main living accommodation. The cellar also provides extensive storage and future potential, subject to any necessary consents.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors and is a particular strength of the house. All four bedrooms are good sizes, a feature that originally distinguished the property from many newer builds for the current owners. The main bedroom occupies the top floor and provides an impressive sense of scale, complemented by extensive built in storage within the eaves. From this elevated rear position there are uninterrupted views across green spaces, creating a private and peaceful outlook. The en suite has been recently upgraded with a new shower installation completed in November 2025.

Externally, the rear garden has been landscaped to create a structured yet low maintenance environment, including a seating terrace, raised planting beds and artificial lawn, all completed in 2022. A rear balcony provides an additional outdoor seating area and acts as a natural sun trap, ideal for enjoying late afternoon and evening light. Off road parking is positioned to the rear, with space for two vehicles, an increasingly valuable feature within this setting.

Further improvements include the installation of café style shutter blinds to the front elevation, allowing for privacy without loss of natural light, along with a replacement wooden front door installed approximately five years ago.

The property enjoys a well-regarded residential setting with a genuine sense of community. Immediate neighbours are long established owner occupiers, contributing to a quiet and settled environment while maintaining individual privacy. The location is highly convenient, with bus services stopping directly outside and the train station accessible within a fifteen minute walk. Road connectivity is also strong, with the M60, M56 and Manchester Airport reachable in around twenty minutes outside peak travel times.

Surrounding amenities are a key lifestyle benefit. Etherow Country Park and Brabyns Park are both within half a mile, offering extensive green space, walking routes and family recreation areas. The canal network, Marple Aqueduct and viaduct are also walkable, reinforcing the property’s appeal for buyers seeking access to nature alongside village convenience. Marple itself sits approximately one mile away, providing a wide range of independent shops, cafés and everyday amenities, with Marple Bridge Village within easy walking distance.

The property also falls within the catchment area for well regarded local schools, including Ludworth Primary School and St Mary’s Catholic Primary School at primary level, with Marple Hall School and Harrytown Catholic High School serving secondary education. A school bus for Stockport Grammar School stops nearby.

Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable period home that combines internal volume, strong bedroom proportions, practical upgrades and a highly regarded village setting, with the added benefit of rear parking and immediate access to surrounding green space.
