Strawberry Hill, Marple, Stockport, SK6

"Strawberry Hill" presents a rare opportunity to acquire a breathtaking Grade II listed, Jacobean Origin residence with Georgian extensions, boasting nearly 4,000 sq ft of accommodation and set amidst 9 acres of mature, picturesque grounds. Offering a perfect blend of rural tranquility and modern convenience, this home provides sweeping views of the River Goyt while remaining within easy reach of Marple's charming village amenities. With Manchester just a 30-minute train ride away, the seamless connection between country living and city life has never been more accessible.

The approach to Strawberry Hill is via a private, tree-lined road that runs parallel to the River Goyt, setting the stage for a grand arrival. Upon entering the home through an impressive oversized front door, you're greeted by a spacious reception hallway featuring original coving and a ceiling rose, exuding the historical charm of the property. A Grade II listed staircase, located in the rear hallway, ascends to the first floor. To one side of the hallway lies the elegant drawing room, where large Georgian windows allow natural light to pour in, and a stately open fireplace serves as the room's focal point. Across the hall, the sitting room mirrors the grandeur, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape—ideal for use as a tranquil library.

The heart of the home is the expansive family kitchen, which combines ample workspace, a central breakfast island, and French doors leading out into the gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room, warmed by another open fireplace, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere for entertaining. A rear porch provides access to three cellar chambers and a generously sized utility room, while the extensive garage offers space for multiple cars, with a former stabling area perfect for additional storage or development (subject to planning).

Upstairs, the first floor accommodates four generously sized double bedrooms, all adorned with period fireplaces, alongside a single bedroom currently used as dressing room. The two large family bathrooms—one with a four-piece suite and the other with a five-piece suite, both featuring free-standing roll-top baths—provide luxury and comfort.

Outside, the property’s 9 acres of grounds include pasture for horses, woodlands and orchards, offering a serene and private retreat. The southern-facing front of the home overlooks the River Goyt, creating an idyllic setting that enhances the property's unique character and charm. Strawberry Hill is a residence that truly needs to be seen to be appreciated.
