Welcome to Norbury Drive. Located just a stone’s throw from Rose Hill Primary school and the bustling centre of Marple, this attractive semi detached home sits on a generous plot and offers great potential to extend and modernise to create a beautiful contemporary family home.

The property comprises: Three bedrooms and bathroom to the first floor and to the ground floor, entrance hall, living room, dining room and kitchen. There is no vendor chain.

Externally to the front there is a block paved driveway with parking for multiple vehicles and an attached single garage. Inside, the entrance hallway is spacious and welcoming with handy storage located under the stairs. Just off the hall to the right is the lounge which features a large bay window that fills the room with plenty of natural light and a gas fire in feature surround for additional warmth when needed.

Sliding doors open into the dining room with pleasant views of the rear garden and a door leading in to the kitchen.

There’s a cupboard for storage and this also houses a modern combination boiler.

Living in Marple

Marple is one of those ‘best of both worlds’ locations. Close enough to the city and transport links for commuters yet sits on the edge of the Peak District with rolling countryside on the doorstep.

Norbury Drive is a sought after location, just half a mile from the centre of Marple and incredibly convenient for the local amenities. In recent years, Marple has welcomed numerous independent retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants giving residents superb choice for their leisure time. Marple is home to a family run traditional independent cinema, the Regent, and it is one of the last remaining in the UK.

Rose Hill Primary School is just 0.3 miles from the property and Marple Hall Secondary school is approximately 1 mile away on foot or by car. There are two railway stations in the locality - Rose Hill (0.5 miles) and Marple (1 mile), each with regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes. Buses run regularly into Stockport and out to Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop and there's a circular service covering Romiley, Marple and Bredbury.

Children can enjoy the many well-equipped local parks including a skate park in the centre of the town, part of the Memorial Park. Many of these parks enjoy fabulous views of the surrounding hills. Etherow Country Park in Compstall plays host to a sailing club, Brabyns Park in Marple is well used for weekend sporting activities and by dog walkers and Lyme Park, owned by the National Trust is just a few miles away. The Roman Lakes leisure complex is popular with walkers, horse riders and anglers and more recently volunteers have sought to preserve the remains of Samuel Oldknow’s historic mill. The Middlewood Way is a cycle path, popular with runners and walkers which follows the former Macclesfield, Bollington and Marple Railway line south from Rose Hill to Macclesfield.

The Peak Forest Canal runs for 15 miles between Ashton under Lyne and Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire, passing through Marple through the famed flight of 16 locks, separating the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ parts of the canal. Follow the canal path and take in the breathtaking views of the nearby Peak District; you are never far away from some outstanding walks.

There is a real sense of community and a number of local events are organised including Marple Carnival and the Food and Drink Festival. All in all, it’s a great place to live.
