4 bed detached house for sale

Strines Road, Marple SK6

Dating back to the 18th Century, The Lime Shed formed part of the famed industrialist Samuel Oldknow's lime kilns complex, the ruins of which can still be seen today and part of this area's rich industrial past. Still bearing many original features, including exposed timbers and stonework, this impressive property was originally constructed as a dispatch building and narrow boats from a now extinct branch of the Peak Forest canal had direct access into the building for loading and unloading.

Now a family home, the accommodation briefly comprises; entrance hall, lounge with stonework showing the historic narrow boat entrances, games room, dining kitchen, shower room, study, dining room, again with feature stone work, opening to the conservatory and downstairs WC. There is access via a utility room to a further WC, storage areas and the substantial double garage with electric powered doors. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the master with en suite, and two further bathrooms.

Externally, the property is set well back from the road and two paved driveways provide ample off road parking, one of which also provides access to the attached garage. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked borders and hedging to the boundaries and there is a very pleasant secluded rear garden which mainly comprises a patio area, ideal for al fresco dining. There are stunning views to the front over green space opposite the property towards the hills of Derbyshire in the distance and Kinder Scout. The many facilities of Marple village centre are within a five minute walk, as is the picturesque Peak Forest canal, and there are many pleasant walks in the lovely countryside which is within easy reach of this most attractive property.
