Holly Bank Cottages, Woodley, SK6

Looking for somewhere with plenty of character, a peaceful setting and lots of outdoor space? This charming three-bedroom cottage in Woodley offers the feel of a country home while keeping local amenities and transport connections within convenient reach.

The ground floor provides a surprisingly flexible amount of living space. There is a generous lounge with exposed ceiling beams and a traditional stone feature fireplace, along with a separate dining room for everyday meals or entertaining. An additional study creates a ready-made space for working from home, reading or hobbies. The fitted kitchen includes a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, although a washing machine is not provided, so tenants will need to bring their own. There is also a useful downstairs WC.

Upstairs are two comfortable double bedrooms, together with a smaller third bedroom that could work equally well as a guest room, nursery or additional home office. The bedroom furniture shown in the photographs can be included if preferred, which may be particularly convenient given the cottage-style staircase. Alternatively, the removable furniture can be taken away before the tenancy begins, allowing tenants to use their own. Fitted wardrobes will remain in place.

The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The cottage also benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and useful fitted storage.

The outside space is a real highlight. The property sits alongside a large, established garden with lawns, mature planting and trees, creating a lovely place to relax and enjoy the quieter surroundings. A regular gardening service will be included in the tenancy, allowing tenants to enjoy the garden without taking on all of its ongoing maintenance. There is also a useful garden shed and private driveway parking for up to three cars.

Tucked away from passing traffic and close to local countryside walks, the cottage has a calm and secluded feel without being isolated. Woodley’s shops, schools and railway station are within easy reach, with straightforward road links towards Stockport, Manchester and the surrounding areas. It would make a welcoming home for professionals, a couple, someone downsizing or anyone looking for more space in a quieter setting.
