About
There is something particularly special about a period home that has been so lovingly cared for over the years and this family home on Ley Hey Road is a wonderful example.
Well presented throughout, with a wealth of beautifully preserved original features, generous rooms and a truly delightful garden, this is a home with warmth, character and an unmistakable sense of quality.
Ley Hey Road has long been regarded as one of Marple's most desirable residential addresses and it's easy to see why.
Attractive homes on generous plots and a peaceful setting, all within easy reach of excellent schools, local amenities and transport links.
AT A GLANCE Well presented semi detached period home Wealth of original features including timber doors, wooden floors and picture rails Two generous reception rooms with attractive bay windows Bright rear reception room with log-burning stove and garden views Casual dining area and separate kitchen Two spacious double bedrooms and a single-sized third bedroom Family bathroom, separate 1st floor WC and GF WC Stunning south-west-facing garden with mature planting and patio Greenhouse, three garden sheds and gated side access Driveway parking and convenient location for Marple's amenities As you step inside, the original timber doors, wooden staircase, skirting boards and picture rails create a lovely first impression.
The wide and welcoming hallway leads to two generous reception rooms; at the front, an attractive bay window has views of the garden to the front, while the living room to the rear has built-in cabinetry, a log-burning stove in a fireplace with exposed brick work and Welsh slate hearth and charming views across the garden The dining area adjacent to the kitchen provides a charming and practical space for casual dining with built-in storage.
The galley kitchen enjoys plenty of natural light and direct access outside. A WC is located at the ground floor underneath the stairs. Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive.
Both principal bedrooms are beautifully proportioned, light-filled doubles with attractive bay windows and fitted storage.
The third bedroom is a genuinely useful single room, with space for a bed and desk, making it ideal for a child, guest or home office.
The family bathroom is complemented by a separate WC, while additional cupboards and a partly boarded loft provide valuable storage.
The rear garden is an absolute delight and undoubtedly one of this property's greatest assets.
Enjoying a south-westerly aspect, it has been thoughtfully planted and meticulously maintained to create a beautiful outdoor space that changes with the seasons.
Mature trees, including a fruit tree, established borders and a wildlife pond all contribute to its peaceful, private feel.
There is a lovely patio for outdoor dining and relaxing which enjoys the afternoon and evening sunshine.
Three garden sheds and a greenhouse provide plenty of practical space for keen gardeners, with gated side access and a convenient area for keeping bins out of sight.
To the front, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with a driveway providing off-road parking. OUR THOUGHTS What really stands out to us about this home is just how beautifully it has been looked after.
There is a real sense of pride in its presentation and we love that so many of the original features have been retained rather than replaced.
The rooms are generous, the layout is practical and the whole house has a lovely, welcoming feel.
Both reception rooms are beautiful spaces, and having three genuinely usable bedrooms, along with a downstairs WC and separate upstairs WC, makes it particularly well suited to family life.
And then there is the garden. It is quite simply gorgeous.
The planting is mature and thoughtfully arranged, the south-westerly aspect is a real bonus if you love the sunshine and a wonderful place to spend time throughout the warmer months.
There's scope to extend (subject to planning) and for buyers looking for a traditional family home with character, space and a beautiful garden, in a convenient Marple location, we think there is an enormous amount to love here.
