Strines Road, Marple, SK6 7BT

Dating back to the 18th Century, The Lime Shed formed part of the famed industrialist Samuel Oldknow's lime kilns complex, the ruins of which can still be seen today and part of this area's rich industrial past. Still bearing many original features, including exposed timbers and stonework, this impressive property was originally constructed as a dispatch building and narrow boats from a now extinct branch of the Peak Forest canal had direct access into the building for loading and unloading. Now a family home, the accommodation briefly comprises; entrance hall, lounge with stonework showing the historic narrow boat entrances, games room, dining kitchen, shower room, study, dining room, again with feature stone work, opening to the conservatory and downstairs WC. There is access via a utility room to a further WC, storage areas and the substantial double garage with electric powered doors. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the master with en suite, and two further bathrooms. Externally, the property is set well back from the road and two paved driveways provide ample off-road parking, one of which also provides access to the attached garage. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with well stocked borders and hedging to the boundaries and there is a very pleasant secluded rear garden which mainly comprises a patio area, ideal for al fresco dining. There are stunning views to the front over green space opposite the property towards the hills of Derbyshire in the distance and Kinder Scout. The many facilities of Marple village centre are within easy reach, including the new multi-million-pound leisure complex, scheduled to open in the Memorial Park in December. Also close by, is the picturesque Peak Forest canal, as are many pleasant walks in the open countryside just on the doorstep of this most attractive property.
