Extremely large Victorian semi-detached property, approx 4,941 sq ft
An imposing Victorian semi-detached property on Arkwright Road offering nearly 5,000 sq ft across four floors and approximately 14 rooms. Set on a large plot with wraparound gardens and bay-window street presence, the building retains period features such as high ceilings, exposed brick and chimney stacks. Located a short walk from Marple Bridge, the train station and local cafes, it sits in a low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The building is currently classified and used as a commercial care home and will be sold at online auction on 24 September 2025. The property requires full internal renovation and modernisation; previous planning consent existed for a three-storey rear extension and lift shaft (Stockport Council ref DC/075911), but any conversion to residential or different uses would be subject to new planning approvals. The size, plot and layout make it a clear development opportunity for conversion to multiple dwellings, a large single residence or a care/residential scheme STPP.
Buyers should note this is a freehold, unconditional auction lot. The purchaser will be required to pay a minimum 10% deposit on the fall of the hammer, a buyer’s administration fee and complete within 28 days unless the legal pack states otherwise. The property’s renovation requirement, auction sale process and planning uncertainty are material considerations for budgeting time and costs.
Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and configuration. This lot will suit developers, investors or an owner-occupier prepared for a significant refurbishment and planning process in a prime Marple location.
