4 bed detached house for sale

Clifton Drive, Marple, Stockport SK6

Set on one of Marple’s most sought-after roads, this detached property offers space in spades, a sizeable south facing plot and huge potential for anyone looking to create their 'forever family home'. Currently extending to around 2,400 sq. Ft., it already ticks plenty of boxes – a generous driveway to the front, a good-sized level rear garden, and four double bedrooms – while also offering scope to remodel, extend, and finish to your own style.

The existing layout works well for family living. To the front you’ll find a large dining room, while the main lounge extends front to rear capturing plenty of natural light. The kitchen is arguably the highlight of the home with French doors to the garden, a utility room adjacent and a ground floor WC/cloakroom.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, plus a family bathroom and an additional WC. A staircase rises again to the loft, where you’ll find further handy rooms created at the same time the roof was replaced and these are ideal for a den, hobby space or home office – noting there's restricted head height in parts and these can’t be classed as formal bedrooms.

It’s fair to say the house is a work-in-progress, with some unfinished areas that will require attention. For the right buyer, this is an exciting opportunity; whether it’s simply finishing the existing space, extending (subject to planning), or fully reimagining the footprint; the potential here is clear.

Clifton Drive is one of Marple’s most prestigious addresses, always in high demand thanks to its leafy feel, handsome homes, and proximity to excellent local schools and within catchment for the ever-popular Marple Hall.

If you’re looking for a substantial detached home with space, location and potential, this could well be the one for you. You can contact eXp 7 days a week to arrange your viewing. Please quote reference ND0151 when calling.

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.

The Middlewood Way is 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.
