Marple has some delightful pockets in which there are a combination of quiet locations and excellent views.

Therefore we have pleasure in offering for sale this five-bedroomed detached property which stands on a large garden plot in this quiet cul-de-sac in one of Marple's most prestigious areas.

During the 1970s and early 1980s the property benefitted from two extensions and looking at the property now it is hard to see where the extensions took place. As a result the property offers excellent family living accommodation including entrance porch, reception hallway, large through-lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen leading onto a utility room then onwards to the property's garage. The beauty of this area is that the utility room, garage and kitchen could be converted to provide a larger breakfast-kitchen area. The ground floor is completed by a downstairs cloaks cupboard and WC.

To the first floor the property has five bedrooms, three of which are double, whilst bedrooms four and five used to be one bedroom which has been split into two rooms. The beauty of this area is that it could be converted back to a larger bedroom which could include ensuite and dressing areas.

This floor also provides a family bathroom together with separate shower room.

To the basement there is a converted room which could be used as an office, playroom etc and leads onto two further basement areas which are mainly used for storage.

Externally the property comes into its own with beautifully manicured gardens to front and rear elevations, with the rear elevation providing views up towards Mellor church round and across down to the Strines valley.

To the outside is a concrete imprinted cobble-effect double driveway which leads to a double garage area. The garage itself could be converted into further living accommodation if required, subject to the relevant planning applications.

The current owners have kept the property to a good standard, still retaining some of the period features such as stained glass leaded windows and floor mounted period central heating radiators to name but a few.

Finally this excellent family home is located close to public transport, school catchment areas, All Saints Primary School and is on the doorstep of some of the area's most picturesque walks, yet at the same time just a short drive away from Marple town centre which links to Rose Hill and Marple railway stations and has a comprehensive range of shopping facilities.

This is a property that must be viewed.

  We would advise prospective purchasers that bedrooms 4 and 5 were in fact one large bedroom and to refer to our copy of our floor plan for further details.

• Gardens
  
• GENERAL NOTE:
  The beauty of this property is that it is set on a large plot and therefore provides ample garden space. On top of this, the current owners have manicured and kept the gardens to a high standard which is bound to please.
  
• Front Garden
  which provides a lawned area bordered by large raised well-stocked flower-bedded surrounds with an array of plants, shrubs and mature trees. Moving to the right hand side of the property, the front garden continues with mature trees and flower beds with paved patio area which has ample room for table and chairs, ideal for entertaining if required. The front garden also provides external lighting, including security lighting and pathway that links into the property's rear elevation.
  
• Side Garden
  To the side of the property there is a continuation of the flower-bedded area from the front garden, divided by a small path. The side garden has an attractive mature chestnut tree and leads onto the property's rear garden area.
  
• Rear Garden
  The rear garden is split into two main areas. To the immediate rear of the property there is a paved patio area with ample room for table and chairs and entertaining. This area provides external lantern lighting and a series of steps lead down to the paths which link to the side elevation. The path also gives access to a UPVC door which provides built-in underfloor storage, ideal for garden equipment etc. Onto the first main section of the garden there is a large lawned area, once again bordered by well-stocked flower-bedded surrounds and mature trees with a dividing hedgerow that links to the property's second garden area. The property's second garden area is a mainly lawned area, once again surrounded by hedgerow and flower beds which the current owners affectionately call "the grandchildren's playing area." The rear garden is approximately 70ft in length and is a true benefit to the property.
  
• NOTE:
  One of the major benefits of this property and its location is that there are breathtaking views. The rear elevation gives views over neighbouring greenbelt fields, whilst to the right hand side there are views towards Mellor and Mellor church and down to the front right elevation down towards the Strines valley. Even driving down Ridge Avenue towards the property gives wonderful viewing area. It is therefore pleasing to know that the current owners have manicured all the garden areas to provide an ideal situation.
  
• Paths and Driveways
  There is a concrete imprinted double driveway and path to the front elevation which is then taken over by a paved stone path to the side and rear elevations.
  
• Tenure
  The property is Freehold and Council Tax Band G.
  
• FURTHER NOTE
  There is also an alarm system and security lighting.
