Woodville Drive, Marple, Stockport SK6

The One With POTENTIAL

Located in one of Marple's most popular residential pockets — a firm favourite with families thanks to its community feel and sensible price points — this extended four-bedroom semi is not about perfection... it's about possibility.

Set back behind a concrete imprinted driveway providing parking for 2-3 vehicles, framed by mature trees to the front, the kerb appeal is already there. This is a proper family home — just waiting for its next chapter.

Step inside and you're welcomed by a wide entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor — the kind of space that instantly gives you a sense of proportion.

To the front, the living room features a gas fire and flows openly into the dining room at the rear, where patio doors lead out to the garden. It's easy to imagine opening that space further and creating a modern family hub.

The kitchen sits just beyond — generously sized with two windows overlooking the rear garden. It's dated, yes. But the footprint? Excellent.

Access to the garage is available externally via the side door or through the garage door at the front — offering options for conversion (subject to the usual permissions) or simply secure storage.

Upstairs, the extension over the garage has created a principal bedroom complete with fitted cupboards and an ensuite positioned to the rear. There are two further double bedrooms, a single box room, and a family bathroom with a white suite. A useful landing cupboard houses the hot water cylinder and provides additional storage, with loft access above.

The property enjoys a north-facing aspect to the rear with patio and lawn and side access to the front of the property.

Now let's be clear — this house requires full refurbishment throughout. It is very dated. But it is liveable. And for the right buyer, this is exactly the point.

This is for someone who wants to get their teeth into a project.

Someone who sees beyond the carpets and the colour schemes.

Someone who understands that buying well in the right area is where smart decisions start.

In a strong family location within Marple, extended already to create four bedrooms, and priced to reflect the work required — this is opportunity knocking.

Living in Marple

Marple offers that increasingly rare balance: close enough for an easy commute into Manchester, yet firmly rooted on the edge of the Peak District with open countryside right on your doorstep.

Woodville Drive is situated just a mile away from the heart of the town, placing day-to-day amenities and Marple’s growing independent scene within easy reach. The high street has evolved into a vibrant mix of cafés, bars and restaurants, complemented by a monthly Maker’s Market and a calendar of community events that give the town its welcoming, village-style feel. The Marple Community Hub is due to open late 2026 with a brand new leisure facilities including a swimming pool, cafe and incorporating the library. The Regent Cinema — one of the last remaining independent cinemas in the UK — remains a cherished local landmark.

Families are well served by reputable schools including Rose Hill Primary Primary and Marple Hall High School just a short walk away, with St Mary’s Catholic Primary in nearby Marple Bridge and Marple Sixth Form College located on the edge of the town centre.

For commuters, transport links are excellent. Marple and Rose Hill railway stations offer regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes, while frequent bus routes connect to Stockport, Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop. By car, the A555 provides a direct link to Manchester Airport, the A34 and popular shopping destinations including Cheadle and Handforth Dean.

Outdoor life is a major draw. The Memorial Park offers open green space and a popular skate park, while nearby Brabyns Park and Etherow Country Park provide everything from weekend sport and dog walks to sailing. Lyme Park, Roman Lakes and the Garden House community farm are all within easy reach, offering a variety of scenic walks and family-friendly days out.

Woodville Drive is just a short stroll from the Middlewood Way, a former railway line south towards Macclesfield and a favourite with walkers, runners and cyclists, while the historic Peak Forest Canal passes through Marple via its iconic flight of 16 locks — a beautiful backdrop for waterside walks with far-reaching views towards the Peaks.

In short, Marple combines strong community spirit, excellent connectivity and outstanding access to the outdoors — making it one of the area’s most sought-after places to call home.
