A substantial Victorian detached home offering generous, flexible living across four levels — ideal for growing families who need space and character. The house provides five double bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing room and en‑suite, plus a second bedroom with its own en‑suite. Five reception rooms give scope for home offices, playrooms, formal dining and relaxed family living.
The lower‑ground open plan dining kitchen opens through bi‑fold doors onto a sun deck and a huge woodland garden that runs into the trees — a rare private plot size for Marple Bridge. Driveway parking and a garage add practical storage and parking for multiple vehicles.
This is a period property with high ceilings, bay windows and traditional features, constructed circa 1900–1929. Some fabric and energy upgrades will be needed: the cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed), double glazing was fitted before 2002, and heating is by mains‑gas boiler and radiators. These points present clear renovation potential to improve comfort and running costs.
Be aware of material considerations: the property sits in a medium flood‑risk area and council tax is described as expensive. For families seeking character, space and a large private garden in Marple Bridge, this house offers strong long‑term appeal with scope to modernise and increase energy performance.
