4 bed detached house for sale

Jessop Drive, Marple, Stockport SK6

If you've outgrown your current home but don't want to compromise on location, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Tucked away on one of Marple's most popular residential developments, just a short walk from excellent schools, Ley Hey Park and everything that makes Marple such a brilliant place to bring up a family, No.6 Jessop Drive is a home that's been designed to make everyday life that little bit easier.

Extended and remodelled over the years, it now offers an impressive 1,773 sq ft of beautifully balanced accommodation. Big enough for a growing family, yet with a layout that still feels warm, welcoming and easy to live in.

The ground floor works exactly as you'd wish. A generously sized living room provides the perfect place to unwind - working well as two zones in one - seating to the front and play room to the rear.

Off the living room and spanning the rear of the house is the spacious open plan kitchen diner, with storage and plenty of space for everyone to gather no matter what time of day. It's bright, sociable and enjoys a lovely connection with the garden, making it easy to keep an eye on children playing outside whilst getting on with everyday life.

There is also a separate study or hobby room, ideal for anyone working from home or simply needing a space that's their own, together with a downstairs WC and plenty of practical storage can be found in the garage; accessed internally (as well as externally), this also houses a utility area.

To the first floor, all four bedrooms can comfortably accommodate double beds, with the principal bedroom impressing as it should. Created as part of the front extension, it's a genuinely grand room with windows to two elevations, fitted wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. It's the sort of bedroom you usually only find in much larger homes.

The remaining bedrooms are equally versatile, whether they're needed for children, guests or home working. One even incorporates bespoke fitted furniture with a cleverly concealed Murphy bed (a bed that folds up to the wall), making it a brilliant multi-purpose room.

The family bathroom is equally generous, offering both a bath and separate shower to help your busy mornings run that little bit more smoothly.

Outside, the south-east facing rear garden is private, established and enjoys sunshine for much of the day. There's plenty of room for children to play, summer barbecues with friends or simply somewhere to sit with a coffee after work.

Practicality has clearly been high on the agenda too. The garage provides excellent storage as well as the utility area, while the adjoining lean-to offers even more space for bikes, gardening equipment and all those things every family seems to accumulate over the years.

Location is another major draw. Families love this part of Marple for its quiet surroundings, excellent schools, nearby parks and easy access to countryside walks, whilst Marple and Marple Bridge are both within easy reach for independent shops, cafés, restaurants and rail links into Manchester.

It's increasingly difficult to find a home that genuinely ticks so many boxes; four proper double bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, excellent storage, two bathrooms plus WC on the ground floor, a garden with a sunny aspect and a location where families tend to stay for years.

A Word from the Agent:

"One of the standout features of Jessop Drive is you've got somewhere for everyone to come together, but equally everyone has somewhere to disappear to (if you know, you know!). And then, the main bedroom is such a good size—far bigger than you'd expect—and all four bedrooms can be doubles, which is surprisingly hard to find. Add to that the schools - it's catchment for mhs and within reasonable walking distance and and overall area it's easy to see why people love this part of Marple."

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.

Jessop Drive is under a mile from the heart of the town, 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 feel. The new Marple Community Hub is set to provide first-class leisure facilities including a swimming pool, café and library, while the Regent Cinema—one of the last remaining independent cinemas in the UK—remains a much-loved local landmark.

Families are well served by reputable schools including Rose Hill Primary School and Marple Hall School, with St Mary's Catholic Primary School in nearby Marple Bridge and Marple Sixth Form College on the edge of the town centre.

For commuters, transport links are excellent. Marple and Rose Hill railway stations provide regular services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes, whilst frequent bus routes connect to Stockport, Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop. By car, the nearby A555 links directly to Manchester Airport, the A34 and popular retail destinations including Cheadle and Handforth Dean.

Outdoor enthusiasts are spoilt for choice. Memorial Park offers green open space and a popular skate park, while nearby Brabyns Park and Etherow Country Park provide everything from scenic walks and sailing to family days out. Lyme Park, Roman Lakes and The Garden House community farm are all within easy reach.

The Middlewood Way follows a former railway line towards Macclesfield and is popular with walkers, runners and cyclists, while the historic Peak Forest Canal passes through Marple via its famous flight of sixteen locks, creating one of the area's most picturesque settings.

In short, Marple combines outstanding connectivity, a thriving community and exceptional access to the countryside, making it one of Greater Manchester's most desirable places to call home.
