OPEN EVENT Sunday 19th July | Garden Terrace, Marple

Garden Terrace is a lovely little row of pretty cottages in an idyllic spot, almost perfectly positioned between both Marple and High Lane.

This beautiful cottage has been completely renovated by the current owner and spread over three floors, offers loads of character, plenty of quirky features and, quite simply, some incredible views.

Being one of just three cottages and positioned at the end of the row, it enjoys windows to three sides. To the rear you've got views across the surrounding farmland and countryside, with more open views to the side and even glimpses across to Kinder Scout from the front.
If you enjoy getting out and about, the canal is only around a five-minute walk away, while Strines railway station can be reached in around 25 minutes on foot through some really scenic countryside. Both Marple and High Lane Village centres are within minutes in the car.
The character starts as soon as you close the garden gate with a beautifully crafted timber stable door. The living room is a lovely cosy space, centred around an exposed brick fireplace with a cast iron log burner. With windows to both the front and side, it's a really bright room too.

To the rear is the kitchen, and it's beautiful! Hand-built, beautifully designed and finished to a really high standard, it strikes a great balance between looking fantastic and being incredibly practical. There's a central island, Belfast sink, Quooker boiling water tap and a really useful walk-in pantry tucked away beneath the stairs, which also houses the LPG boiler.

Head up to the first floor and you'll find two good-sized bedrooms. The views get even better from up here, and the bathroom provides more than you'd expect, complete with a bath, separate walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.

A further staircase takes you up into the converted loft offering the best views in the home. Windows to three elevations, including a Juliet balcony overlooking the surrounding countryside, make it an amazing space to spend time in. There's also plenty of built-in eaves storage, making it practical as well as a fantastic room. Useful to know, but the owner also used this as a second sitting room at one point!

Outside, you’ve a lovely cottage style front garden, and to the rear a self-contained easy maintenance garden, complete with self-watering plant system!
