Charming Two-Bed Period Cottage with Garden Backing onto Fields

A beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage dating back to 1870, set in a peaceful countryside setting on the edge of Marple. This characterful home blends period charm with modern comfort, ideal for a couple or small family seeking a quieter, nature-led lifestyle within easy reach of the city.

The property features a cosy living space with a wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen overlooks a stunning private garden, complete with a vegetable plot, greenhouse, and open views across surrounding fields, offering a lovely outdoor space to enjoy.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, with the second currently set up as a home office but easily adaptable as a bedroom. The property includes a bathroom with access via both bedrooms.

Externally, the home benefits from off-road parking, a private garden with shed, greenhouse, and a barbecue which will remain for tenant use. There is also a small shared access/garden area.

The property is offered furnished, excluding the main bed, allowing tenants to provide their own. A small double bed can be provided for the second bedroom if required. The property also includes a Starlink dish installation, enabling tenants to arrange their own contract for high-speed broadband.

Ideally located, the home is approximately a 20-minute walk from Strines railway station, offering direct links to Manchester Piccadilly station and Sheffield. The vibrant centre of Marple is just a short distance away, known for its independent shops, restaurants, and cinema. The property is surrounded by scenic countryside, with a network of footpaths and walking routes accessible directly from the doorstep, as well as a popular local pub, The Nightingale, within walking distance.
