Upper Hibbert Lane, Marple

Property Description

Welcome to Upper Hibbert Lane.  Set in the heart of the Hawk Green community, with Marple just a few minutes away, this terrific two double bedroom terraced home is ideal for first time buyers, downsizers, investors and smaller families.

This lovely home is set back from the pavement with a pleasant gated front garden and large bushes for privacy.  There is an entrance vestibule so you and your visitors can remove shoes and coats before stepping inside the living room.  Plenty big enough for two sofas and furniture, you'll enjoy many a winter's evening curled up in front of the electric stove in feature brick surround.  The large window in the living room allows the natural light to flood in making it a super bright and welcoming space.

To the rear of the house you will find the kitchen diner; this is the heart of the home and a great space for entertaining friends and family.  The fitted kitchen units flank two walls and there is storage along the other wall (ideal as a pantry) leaving you plenty of space for your dining table and chairs in the centre.  You could add more units under the stairs or close it off entirely to gain further storage space.  The double oven and electric hob are built in and there's space and plumbing for your washing machine.

To the rear is a small yard, currently housing a lock up shed (very handy for storage) with enough room left over for a bistro table (or an egg chair like the current owner has) and a few planters - it's a great space to enjoy coffee in the morning sunshine.

To the first floor is the landing with access to the two double bedrooms and the family bathroom.  The master bedroom is a spacious king sized room with two large windows looking out to the front aspect.  The rear bedroom also comfortably houses a double bed and there is built-in storage for your belongings.

The bathroom features a white three-piece suite comprising a bath with shower over, basin and WC with tiled floor and part-tiled walls. 

There is access to the loft from the landing; handy for additional storage space.

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.

Upper Hibbert Lane is situated in the Hawk Green area of Marple with an abundance of green space on the doorstep and The Crown public house with restaurant is just around the corner.  The property is less than a mile from the centre of Marple which has, in recent years, 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.

All Saints Church of England primary and Marple Hall Secondary schools are the catchment schools and both are under 1 mile away on foot or by car.  Marple is served by two railway stations - Rose Hill and Marple - both offering 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.
