4 bed detached house for sale

Cross Lane, Marple, Stockport SK6

Set back on the ever-popular Cross Lane, this beautifully presented four-bedroom home offers flexible, well-balanced living space in a location that works effortlessly for family life, commuting and everything in between.

From the moment you step inside, the layout immediately makes sense. Two separate reception rooms provide that all-important choice — a more formal dining space to the front, perfect for entertaining or family occasions, and a generous triple-aspect living room that spans front to rear. Bathed in natural light and opening directly onto the garden, this is a comfortable family friendly space designed for everyday living as well as relaxed evenings and weekends at home.

The kitchen sits to the rear with a practical adjoining utility area, keeping day-to-day life organised and clutter-free. Well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out, it connects easily with the garden — ideal for summer dining, children coming in and out, or simply keeping an eye on things while cooking. And speaking of the practical, a ground floor WC can be found off the hallway.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a calm retreat, filled with light from its dual-aspect windows and complemented by a modern en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms offer excellent flexibility, whether you need space for children, guests, or a dedicated home office, and the family bathroom is clean, fresh and well presented. Additional storage is provided via a loft space and landing cupboard, helping keep the home feeling tidy and uncluttered.

Outside, the westerly-facing rear garden is a real highlight. Fully enclosed and secure, it enjoys afternoon and evening sun and offers a mix of lawn and patio — perfect for children, pets, entertaining or simply unwinding. Mature planting, fruit trees and a greenhouse add character with discreet bin storage and access to the front along the side of the house.

Behind the property is a garage with parking space for added convenience.

Cross Lane places you within easy reach of Marple’s independent shops, schools, canal-side walks and two railway stations offering direct links into Manchester. It’s a spot that suits busy professionals, growing families and anyone looking for a move-in-ready home with space to adapt as life evolves.

A well-maintained, versatile home in a location that will always be in high demand.

The Local Area

Marple is one of those ‘best of both worlds’ locations. Close enough to the city and transport links for commuters yet sits on the edge of the Peak District with the countryside on the doorstep.

In recent years, Marple has welcomed numerous independent retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants giving residents superb choice for their leisure time. There’s a monthly Maker’s Market, the Marple Carnival held annually in June and various other events adding to the community feel.

The Marple Community Hub is scheduled to open within the next 12 months and residents will benefit from a five lane swimming pool, library and café, fitness suite, shared community spaces and will house the Marple clinic.

Marple is home to a family run traditional independent cinema, the Regent, and it is one of the last remaining in the UK.

There are two railway stations - Rose Hill and Marple - each with regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes. Buses run regularly into Stockport and out to Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop and there's a circular service covering Romiley, Marple and Bredbury. Commuting by car has never been more convenient with the A555 linking Hazel Grove to Manchester Airport with the A34, John Lewis at Cheadle and Handforth Dean, home to M&S, Tesco and more, eminently more accessible.

Children can enjoy the many well-equipped local parks including a skate park in the centre of the town, part of the Memorial Park. Many of these parks enjoy fabulous views of the surrounding hills. Etherow Country Park in Compstall plays host to a sailing club, Brabyns Park in Marple is well used for weekend sporting activities and by dog walkers and Lyme Park, owned by the National Trust is just a few miles away. The Roman Lakes leisure complex is popular with walkers, horse riders and anglers and more recently volunteers have sought to preserve the remains of Samuel Oldknow’s historic mill. The Garden House is a charity-run community farm, open to the public with pigs, alpacas, Shetland Ponies and more.

On the doorstep of Eastwood Drive is the Middlewood Way, a cycle path popular with runners and walkers which follows the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway line south from Rose Hill to Macclesfield.

The Peak Forest Canal runs for 15 miles between Ashton under Lyne and Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire, passing through Marple through the famed flight of 16 locks, separating the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ parts of the canal. Follow the canal path and take in the breathtaking views of the nearby Peak District; you are never far away from some outstanding walks.
