Summary - 61 THE RIDGE MARPLE STOCKPORT SK6 7ER
4 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Victorian stone cottage, large garden, parking and panoramic views — scope to improve energy performance.
Four bedrooms plus converted basement living space
A four-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage with striking elevated views across Manchester, set on a decent plot within walking distance of Marple village. The house blends period character — exposed brickwork and high ceilings — with a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area, bifold doors to the garden and a versatile converted basement. Off-street parking for multiple cars and a large rear garden offer scope for family life and potential extension (subject to planning).
The interior is well-presented in parts: a contemporary kitchen with marble-effect worktops and Lamona appliances, two log burners, an ensuite to the master bedroom and useful utility room. The basement conversion provides additional living or home-office space and built-in storage, increasing the property’s practical footprint for modern family use.
Buyers should note material running costs and improvement needs: heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are likely uninsulated stone, and the current EPC rating is F — significant insulation and heating upgrades will be needed to improve energy performance. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, which may affect frequent remote workers.
Well-suited to families or buyers seeking a character home with scope to personalise, this freehold cottage sits in an affluent, low-crime area close to good primary and independent schools, canal and countryside walks, and local amenities. The house offers immediate comfortable living with realistic potential for energy-efficiency investment and physical extension.
