OUR THOUGHTS

Marlea has that wonderful ‘escape to the country’ feel, yet you’re still within easy reach of Marple Bridge – and we think that combination is a huge part of its appeal.

The house itself is brimming with character. We love the sociable kitchen and dining room with its British Racing Green AGA and French doors onto the garden, while the cosy front snug is exactly where we’d want to be on a winter evening.

Having been thoughtfully extended and cared for by the same owners for around 30 years, there’s a lovely balance of period charm and practical family space, with four bedrooms and a choice of reception rooms.

And then there’s the outside space. The south-facing garden is a real highlight – established, colourful and with plenty of room to sit out and enjoy the setting. Add the detached garage, generous parking and semi-rural position and, for us, Marlea offers a rather special slice of country living.

ADDITIONAL LAND

Approximately four acres of private woodland and a former quarry are also available by separate negotiation.
A superb opportunity for anyone looking for additional private outdoor space, woodland or land for leisure and nature-based use, subject to any necessary permissions and consents.

THE LOCATION

Marlea enjoys a semi-rural position on the edge of Marple Bridge, combining countryside on the doorstep with easy access to the village and surrounding amenities.

Marple Bridge is particularly popular for its independent cafés and shops, well-regarded schools and excellent access to the outdoors, with walks, cycling routes and Peak District countryside all within easy reach.

Marple railway station is approximately 1.6 miles away, providing regular services towards Manchester Piccadilly and through the Hope Valley towards Sheffield.
