Upper Hibbert Lane, Marple, Stockport, Greater Manchester, SK6 Property for sale

A rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire a distinguished piece of history. Dating back to 1686, this enchanting Grade II listed mid terrace cottage enjoys an idyllic setting in the highly sought after Hawk Green, just moments from both Marple village and the picturesque surroundings of Marple Bridge.

This exquisite stone built home effortlessly combines timeless elegance with heritage charm, thoughtfully enhanced by subtle contemporary refinements. The property previously had planning permission to extend the ground floor to the rear, offering the potential for further modern enhancement.

Set back from the road behind a mature and well-established front garden, a charming stone pathway leads to the entrance, creating an immediate sense of privacy and distinction.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into an impressive open plan living and dining space, rich in character and architectural detail. Original chamfered stone mullioned windows fill the room with natural light, complemented by exposed stone walls, striking ceiling beams and elegant parquet flooring. A feature log burning stove provides a warm focal point, enhancing the refined yet inviting atmosphere, while a traditional wooden staircase leads gracefully to the first floor.

To the rear, the bespoke country style kitchen offers both charm and functionality, with thoughtfully designed cabinetry, generous work surfaces and tranquil views over the rear courtyard.

The first floor continues to showcase the home’s exceptional character. The principal bedroom, accessed via a traditional thumb latch door, offers a serene retreat with an original mullioned window, charming period fireplace and exposed stonework. The second bedroom is equally inviting, featuring wooden flooring and a delightful outlook over the courtyard. Completing the accommodation is a beautifully appointed bathroom, boasting an elegant claw foot roll top bath with shower, alongside a WC, hand basin and bidet, all finished with classic wooden flooring.

Externally, the property features an unusually large stone paved rear courtyard, providing a private and peaceful sanctuary, ideal for al fresco dining or quiet relaxation.
