4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Ley Hey Road, Marple, Stockport SK6

A Beautifully Extended Family Home on One of Marple's Most Sought-After Roads. Private viewing event Saturday 20 June 11:30AM - 3PM - By appointment only

Ley Hey Road has long been regarded as one of Marple's most desirable residential addresses and it's easy to see why. Attractive homes on generous plots and a peaceful setting, all within easy reach of excellent schools, local amenities and transport links.

With exceptional kerb appeal, this home has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners over recent years to create a contemporary and welcoming family home with plenty of future potential.

A storm porch opens into a beautiful wide entrance hall, setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. The living room is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home; a wonderfully proportioned space centred around a striking stone fireplace with marble hearth housing a wood burner, a room that is both elegant and inviting.

To the rear, the dining room also features a log burner and with bi-fold doors opening onto the patio with views of the garden, it’s the ideal entertaining space.

The kitchen has been extended to create a light, bright and spacious hub of the home, benefitting from dual-aspect windows and French doors leading directly outside. Fitted with quality cabinetry, quartz work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances including Bosch ovens, induction hob, dishwasher and wine fridge, it offers both style and practicality for modern family living.

A downstairs WC and internal access to the garage complete the ground floor. The garage is also accessible externally via electric roller doors installed at either end.

The first floor provides four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double overlooking the rear garden, whilst the second bedroom is an equally impressive double featuring a bay window to the front.

Bedrooms three and four offer flexibility as children's bedrooms, guest accommodation or home office space. A shower room sits adjacent to bedroom three and there’s scope for a redesign here.

The family bathroom is dated but clean and perfectly functional as it stands but importantly, the layout presents an exciting opportunity for a future owner to reconfigure and perhaps create an en-suite to the principal bedroom if desired.

Further potential exists within the loft space, which is accessed via a pull-down ladder from the landing. Subject to the necessary permissions and building regulations, there may be scope to create additional accommodation and further enhance the property's value.

Outside, the south-west facing rear garden is a particular highlight. Mature and well-established, it features lawned areas, a pond, fruit trees and multiple seating areas designed to capture the sunshine throughout the day before enjoying spectacular evening sunsets. To the front, a driveway provides ample parking alongside a lush lawned garden that contributes significantly to the home's appeal.

Additional benefits include a recently installed boiler, the majority of windows being fensa-certified replacements, and a unique through-garage with electric doors at both ends, offering excellent storage, workshop potential or secure parking.

Beautifully presented, extended and occupying one of Marple's premier addresses, this is a home that offers immediate enjoyment whilst still presenting exciting opportunities for future enhancement.

Living in Marple

Marple offers that increasingly rare balance: Close enough for an easy commute into Manchester, yet firmly rooted on the edge of the Peak District with open countryside right on your doorstep.

Ley Hey Road is a leisurely stroll to the heart of the town centre, placing day-to-day amenities and Marple’s growing independent scene within easy reach. The high street has evolved into a vibrant mix of cafés, bars and restaurants, complemented by a monthly Maker’s Market and a calendar of community events that give the town its welcoming, village-style feel. The Marple Community Hub is due to open within the next few months with a brand new leisure facilities including a swimming pool, cafe and incorporating the library. The Regent Cinema — one of the last remaining independent cinemas in the UK — remains a cherished local landmark.

Families are well served by highly reputable schools in the area and the catchment schools are Ludworth Primary and Marple Hall High School, with St Mary’s Catholic Primary in nearby Marple Bridge and Brabyns Prep just a two minute drive. Marple Sixth Form College lies on the edge of the town centre.

For commuters, transport links are excellent. Marple and Rose Hill railway stations offer regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes, while frequent bus routes connect to Stockport, Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop. By car, the A555 provides a direct link to Manchester Airport, the A34 and popular shopping destinations including Cheadle and Handforth Dean.

Outdoor life is a major draw. The Memorial Park offers open green space and a popular skate park, while nearby Brabyns Park and Etherow Country Park provide everything from weekend sport and dog walks to sailing. Lyme Park, Roman Lakes and the Garden House community farm are all within easy reach, offering a variety of scenic walks and family-friendly days out.

The Middlewood Way follows a former railway line south towards Macclesfield and is a favourite with walkers, runners and cyclists, while the historic Peak Forest Canal passes through Marple via its iconic flight of 16 locks — a beautiful backdrop for waterside walks with far-reaching views towards the Peaks.

In short, Marple combines strong community spirit, excellent connectivity and outstanding access to the outdoors — making it one of the area’s most sought-after places to call home.
