Vale Close, Heaton Mersey, Stockport, SK4

About

Bleachers Cottage is a truly special Heatons home.

Set along the picturesque cobbled Vale Close within the heart of the Heaton Mersey Conservation Area, this delightful two double bedroom property offers an idyllic ‘Where Town Meets Country’ lifestyle.

From the moment you arrive, the character of the property is immediately apparent. A beautiful stained-glass entrance door opens into an inviting open-plan dining area, where exposed character and contemporary styling sit effortlessly together. A contemporary multi-fuel fire, inset within the chimney breast, creates an attractive focal point, while the open-plan arrangement leads naturally through to the rear living area.

Here, French doors open onto one of the cottage’s most impressive features: a wonderful west-facing Juliet balcony. Enjoying exceptional views over the surrounding landscape, this elevated position provides a delightful place to pause and take in the changing seasons. The mature grapevine adds further charm, creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting.

A single-flight turning staircase descends to the lower ground floor, where the accommodation continues with a bright and spacious double bedroom positioned to the front. The room benefits from an en-suite shower room and useful inset storage, while direct access to a small external area provides an additional dimension rarely found in a property of this nature.

The bright and spacious kitchen is beautifully appointed with modern units, high-quality integrated appliances and complementary work surfaces. Generously proportioned, the room also provides sufficient space for a small table and chairs, creating a relaxed and practical setting for everyday dining.

The rear veranda is another particularly appealing feature. Finished with a contemporary steel structure, it provides a lovely space for a table and chairs, creating an ideal setting for morning coffee, summer entertaining or relaxed alfresco dining.

The first floor completes the accommodation beautifully, with a luxurious 12-foot square bathroom offering an impressive sense of space. Floor-to-ceiling fitted cupboards provide excellent storage, complemented by a modern white suite. The principal double bedroom is equally appealing, featuring its own Juliet balcony, superb west-facing views and a useful walk-in storage cupboard.

Internally extending to approximately 894 square feet, Bleachers Cottage has been thoughtfully arranged to maximise both space and natural light, while retaining the warmth and individuality expected of a period home.

Outside, formal gardens surround the property, with a pathway leading gracefully towards the entrance. To the rear, the gardens are particularly secluded and mature, with an abundance of established shrubs, plants and borders creating a peaceful and private environment. Together with the elevated balconies and views, the gardens provide a rare opportunity to enjoy a genuine connection with the outdoors while remaining within easy reach of the amenities of Heaton Mersey and Didsbury.

Vale Close is a prestigious cobbled street positioned just off Didsbury Road, occupying a highly sought-after location within Heaton Mersey. The cottage is just moments from Heaton Mersey Park, providing immediate access to open green space and picturesque surroundings. The location is also well placed for a number of reputable local schools, including St Winifred’s and Didsbury Road, while transport connections are excellent. East Didsbury Metrolink, the nearby M60 and regular bus services provide convenient links across Greater Manchester and beyond.

For everyday life and leisure, the neighbouring villages of Didsbury and Heaton Moor offer an enviable selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs and stylish bars. Despite its convenient connections, Vale Close retains a wonderfully peaceful and seclude...
