Welcome to Craig-Y-Don - A Very Special Semi-Rural Retreat

The ideal home for lovers of the great outdoors offering fresh air and open space with spectacular countryside views in a location where you can truly connect with nature yet still within easy reach of Marple’s fabulous independent shops, cafés and train stations.

Hollinwood Lane is a single track no through road off Ridge Road on the outskirts of Marple. A quiet community with just a handful of homes enjoying unobstructed views stretching across the Cheshire countryside and towards Kinder Scout.

Originally built in 1913, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom family home has been sympathetically renovated ensuring its soul and character remains with stone flooring, exposed brickwork, timber beams, cosy nooks and light-filled spaces designed to make the most of the spectacular outlook.

Parking and a double garage are located at ground level and stone steps lead up to the patio terrace and front entrance. From the terrace, the panoramic views are simply unforgettable — whatever the season and whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, a relaxed supper or a glass of wine at sunset.

The formal front entrance leads in to a long hallway with stairs to the upper floors and a door leading to the expansive open plan living dining and kitchen space.

The living area boasts the obligatory log-burner set beneath a reclaimed wooden mantle and stone hearth and framing the glorious views, there are bifold doors opening onto the terrace. Towards the centre of the room, a dining area with plenty of room for a dining table, a breakfast bar and a charming bench nook.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with traditional cabinetry and integrated appliances, plus a Belfast sink, slimline wine cooler and inset space for an American-style fridge freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room with storage units, a sink and plumbing for appliances and a stable door leads out to the rear garden. Also off the utility is a convenient WC.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three bedrooms; two of these enjoy views over the garden and land to the rear, whilst the principal bedroom features a large window to the front, framing picture postcard views and a contemporary ensuite shower room.

The family bathroom serves the other bedrooms and includes a large walk-in shower, separate jacuzzi bath and vanity basin.

A further double bedroom with en-suite shower room occupies the second floor — ideal for guests or older children.

Externally to the rear, there's a patio outside the utility and kitchen which is perfect for summer teatimes. Steps lead up to the stable block, summerhouse, lawns and large pond with a rewilded area to the north west of the plot which is understood to extend to almost half an acre.

Location:

Hollinwood Lane is situated on the edge of Marple, a town within Stockport and a true ‘best of both worlds’ location; it's close enough to the city and transport links for commuters yet sits on the edge of the Peak District with acres of countryside on the doorstep.

In recent years Marple has welcomed numerous independent retailers, cafes, bars and restaurants giving residents superb choice for their leisure time. There’s a monthly Maker’s Market, the Marple Carnival held annually in June and various other events adding to the community feel.

Construction is well underway for the Marple Community Hub, scheduled to open within the next few months and residents will benefit from a five lane swimming pool, library and café, fitness suite and shared community spaces.

Marple is home to a family run traditional independent cinema, the Regent, and it is one of the last remaining in the UK.

There are two railway stations - Rose Hill and Marple - 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. Commuting by car has never been more convenient with the A555 linking Hazel Grove to Manchester Airport with the A34, John Lewis at Cheadle and Handforth Dean, home to M&S, Tesco and more, eminently more accessible.

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 Garden House is a charity-run community farm, open to the public with pigs, alpacas, Shetland Ponies and more.

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.
