Property Description

Belgrave Avenue is a quiet cul de sac located off Fairview Drive and ideally located for the centre of Marple which is less than half a mile away.  This extended semi detached family home is very well-presented, in ‘move in’ condition and offers genuine potential to grow with you with planning permission in place to extend further.  The owners have already moved on so there is no onward chain delay.

The bay fronted living room is an attractive and welcoming space with a gas fire in feature surround for extra warmth during those chilly winter months.  Folding doors lead to the dining area which is open plan to the kitchen.  The kitchen is contemporary in design with a decent amount of storage and food prep space with integrated appliances (including a tall fridge freezer, microwave, oven and gas hob) and Belfast sink.  The understairs cupboard is ideal as a pantry for storage of additional kitchen items.  Just off the kitchen there is a good sized utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer and room to add storage for coats and boots and this works well as there is access to the rear garden from here.  The study is located beyond the utility and provides a quiet workspace with a view of the garden or you may wish to utilise it as a playroom or perhaps an alternative bedroom for occasional visitors.

To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom.  The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and drawers and features a bay window which, as with the living room, has a bespoke designed curved radiator.  There is a further double room with built in storage that looks out to the rear aspect and the single room, ideal as a nursery or alternative study, is located to the front. 

The bathroom is modern and equipped with a white suite, neutral floor and ceiling tiles and an electric shower over the bath.  Behind louvred double doors, there is a floor-to-ceiling cupboard within the bathroom, perfect for storing toiletries out of the way.

The loft is accessed via a hatch on the landing and is part boarded for storage purposes and very well insulated.

Externally, there is parking to the front and access (shared with next door) to further private parking at the rear of the property.

The rear garden has been landscaped which not only looks good but is easy to maintain with a lawn, raised beds, hard standings for two sheds, both of which will be left at the property and a tarmacked area.  Prior to landscaping, an underground drainage system was installed.

Planning

In October 2021, planning permission was granted for a two-storey side and rear extension and single storey rear extension. DC/082255  The alterations will create a spacious L-shaped open plan kitchen/dining/living room plus WC and utility to the ground floor and the first floor will be extended and reconfigured resulting in three double bedrooms, a study/additional bedroom and larger bathroom.

Permission was also granted in August 2021 for an outbuilding to the rear of the property to create additional accommodation. DC/082256

Full details of the proposed plans can be found on the Stockport Planning Portal under the aforementioned references and the permission for both projects expires in 2024.

The current owners say, “We have spent just over a decade at Belgrave Avenue and it was our first ever home together.  We were so excited when the planning for the extension was granted and couldn’t wait to get cracking but for the fact our circumstances changed.  We know that if the new owners take the plans forward, they will have a truly amazing space in which to spend time together.”

WHY LIVE 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.

Belgrave Avenue is just a stone’s throw 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 and Marple Hall Secondary schools are the catchment schools and both are under 1 mile away on foot or by car.  There are two railway stations - Rose Hill and Marple - within 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.
