Strines Road, Stockport, SK6

Spread over three floors and backing onto the Lime Kilns, this beautifully presented home feels completely ready for family life.

It sits in a really desirable spot too, within easy walking distance of Marple centre, the canal and plenty of green space, so it’s perfect for a family wanting space.

On the ground floor you’ve a handy porch that leads into a bright, spacious hallway. From here you can head into the living room or through to the huge dining kitchen. The living room looks out to the front and immediately shows off one of the home’s big selling points, the views.

Even though you’re on the ground floor you still get a lovely outlook across the surrounding area. It’s an incredibly spacious room and also has double doors that open through into the rear reception room.

The dining kitchen has been extended over time and now offers a fantastic amount of space, with room for dining, a breakfast bar or island and an extensive range of units. In a family home like this it really does become the hub of the house. From here you’ve access into the utility room, which also has a shower and WC, and into the rear reception room. This room has built in storage and is currently used as a music space, but given its position between the kitchen and the main living room it could easily suit lots of different uses. It also leads through into the conservatory. With its solid roof it feels much more like a proper extension of the home and works well as a fourth reception room. The current owners use it as a playroom and relaxed sofa space to sit and look out over the garden.

Up on the first floor you’ll find the main bedroom along with two further bedrooms. The main bedroom has its own ensuite shower room, and there’s also the main family bathroom on this level.

Another staircase then takes you up to the top floor where you’ll find two more really good sized bedrooms along with the final shower room.

Outside is where things get a little bit special. At the front there’s plenty of parking for multiple cars, access into a useful storage garage, and gated access down the side of the house.

The rear garden itself is a nice, simple space mainly laid to lawn, but the real twist is the gate at the back which leads straight out onto the green space behind where the Lime Kilns sit. Not only is it brilliant having a piece of Marple’s history right on your doorstep, it almost feels like an extension of the garden with a huge open space to explore.

All in all, it’s a great family home. It provides a huge amount of space from top to bottom, a versatile layout, and a home that will give the future owner a really unique position to live within Marple.
