2 bed terraced house for sale

East Drive, Stockport SK6

East Drive is a small cul-de-sac tucked away in Hawk Green, with plenty of local favourites within an easy walk. You’ve got Tawny Stores, Goyt Mill, The Crown and Hawk Green itself close by, plus the canal and easy access into both Marple and Marple Bridge.

The house itself is immaculate from top to bottom. The current owners clearly have a good eye for detail, so while everything looks great, there are some really nice practical and character touches too, think shutters, stripped floors and a log burner.

Step through the front door and you’re into a small entrance vestibule. Nothing complicated, just a really useful spot to kick off your shoes, hang up your coat and keep the weather out of the main living space.

From here, you step into the living room, where the exposed brick chimney breast and log burner immediately grab your attention. There’s plenty of character in here, with cornicing and stripped flooring, while the shutters to the front add a slightly more premium finish.

Through the living room is the kitchen, and it’s surprisingly spacious. There’s plenty of storage from the wall and base units, solid worktops, fitted appliances and a Belfast sink positioned perfectly to look out over the garden. Just outside the back door, the old outbuilding has been converted into a really handy utility space, with room for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Upstairs, the main bedroom sits at the front and is a really good size. Again, there’s plenty of character with stripped flooring and a cast iron fireplace, alongside shutters to the window. The outlook is worth mentioning too, as you’re not directly overlooked.

The second bedroom is at the rear and makes really clever use of the space. You can fit a double bed in, while a large built-in wardrobe takes care of the storage. The current owners have previously managed to fit a desk in here too, so it’s a surprisingly versatile room.

Finally, there’s the recently refitted bathroom, complete with a decent-sized bath and shower above.

Outside, East Drive has plenty of on-street parking, while the rear garden is incredibly easy to maintain and, importantly, a real sun trap.

All in all, this is one of those homes where there really isn’t much to do. It’s immaculate, packed with character, has loads of useful storage and sits in a brilliant little spot in Hawk Green
