Property Description

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO TOUR

Welcome to Bonington Rise.  Ideally located just a stone's throw from Ludworth and St Mary's Primary Schools and the picture postcard village of Marple Bridge, this modern detached home is beautifully presented and well maintained with an abundance of outdoor space set to a woodland backdrop. 

The property comprises: four bedrooms, ensuite to master and family bathroom to the first floor and to the ground floor, an entrance hall, living room, dining room, dining kitchen, utility in garage and ground floor WC.  Externally there is driveway parking and extensive gardens with patio areas to the rear.  

Offered to the market with no onward chain.

Stepping in to the entrance hall, this lovely home has a warm and welcoming feel.   To the right is the living room with electric fire in feature surround and triple bay style window and this is open to the dining room with patio doors leading to the rear garden.  The dining kitchen is contemporary in style with a good range of wall and base units.   Integrated appliances include the double oven, brand new gas hob and dishwasher plus space for a full height fridge freezer.  There's room enough for a four seater table and chairs, ideal for casual dining or a quiet morning coffee whilst enjoying the views.

Beyond the kitchen, the garage serves as both storage and a utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer plus the boiler. Heading back to the hallway, a handy WC is located by the front entrance.

To the first floor, the master bedroom has a triple bay effect window, fitted furniture and ensuite shower room.  There are three further bedrooms, two of which are doubles and one large single room.  The main bathroom has a contemporary feel with white suite and large walk-in shower which has replaced the bath.

The gardens to the rear are something very special, gently sloping downwards towards trees and ending at the stream. The rear patio at the top spans the width of the house and is accessible through french doors from both the dining room and the kitchen.  In the height of summer, the retractable awning provides welcome shade from the afternoon sun.  As the evening draws in, the patio situated a little further down the garden offers wonderful views of the sun setting over Brabyns Park.  The garden is mainly lawned with mature shrubs and plants with well tended borders.  There is a good quality shed and patio towards the lower end of the garden and beyond, down a steeper bank, is a stream. 

To the front, there is driveway parking for two cars and access to the rear of the property down one side.

The owners say, "We have loved our time at No. 13 and whilst we move with a heavy heart, we know it will be a wonderful home for the new owners.  The house has served us well, particularly as we love to have friends over for food and drinks, and often have family to stay.  We have enjoyed our garden most of all and we will miss watching the sun set over Brabyns Park."

Marple Bridge

Bonington Rise sits at the lower end of the 'Artist's Estate' in Marple Bridge, a popular and charming village on the outskirts of Stockport.  It’s 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.

The property is within catchment of both Ludworth Primary and St Mary’s Catholic Primary Schools (both of which are located just 300m from the front door) and Marple Hall Secondary School. (Source: Stockport.gov).  

Stockport centre is approximately 5 miles (8km) by car and buses run regularly into Stockport and out to Hayfield, Mellor and Glossop and there's a circular service covering Romiley, Marple and Bredbury.

Marple railway station is circa 800m from the property with regular passenger services into Manchester Piccadilly in under 30 minutes or out to Sheffield via the Hope Valley line.

Marple Bridge is home to a small selection of independent cafes, public houses plus independent shops, a post office, chemist, and healthcare services including both a GP and dental practice. Marple town centre is circa 1.5 miles (2.4km) where there is a wider offering giving residents super choice for their leisure time.  Marple is home to the Regent, a family run traditional independent cinema that is one of the last remaining in the UK.  Marple has recently been awarded funding for a brand new Community Hub which will incorporate the library and leisure centre, due to open 2025/26.

Children can enjoy the many well-equipped local parks in the area with Mill Brow recreation ground a pleasant stroll away along Hollins Lane.  A skate park forms part of the Memorial Park in Marple with play facilities for primary age children and a bowling club - and you can 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.

Those that enjoy walking or cycling will be hard pushed to find a better location with plenty of delightful areas of countryside to explore and you are just a short journey away from the Peak District.  A walk into the hills will allow panoramic views of both town and countryside encompassing Edale and Kinder to the east and Greater Manchester to the west and on a clear day, as far as Runcorn.

There is a real sense of community in Marple Bridge and it’s a great place to live.
