A beautiful home that boasts period charm, five large bedrooms and a gorgeous garden has come up for sale in Stockport. What can only be described as a dream home for a family, the stunning property has been put on the market for the first time in 13 years.

The semi-detached home last sold for £480,000 back in April 2013, but it has now been listed at £925,000, just shy of £1 million. The house sits in the desirable Heaton Moor suburb which forms part of the Heatons – an area that was named amongst The Sunday Times‘ Best Places to Live in the UK in 2025.

Nestled between Stockport and south Manchester, Heaton Moor has pretty tree-lined streets lined with Victorian and Edwardian properties, high-rated schools and lots of green space making it an ideal place for families to settle.

The average price for a property in Heaton Moor in the last 12 months was £440,340, according to Zoopla, with the average semi-detached home selling for £492,912.

Light filled, and with a wealth of period charm, this stunning five bedroomed home stands proud on a prime Heatons Road, close to Heaton Moor Park, and the village.”

Spanning 3,577 square foot, the home is much bigger than the average semi-detached home in the area. Heading inside there is a large 24 foot hallway with doors on the right leading to a gorgeous bay-fronted living room with a contemporary multi-fuel fire.

On the other side of the hallway is an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining area which is the central hub of the home and spans the full length of the house. The dining area has a walk-in bay window, a multi-fuel fire inset to the chimney breast and ample space for furniture. The kitchen has bespoke units and sleek worktops, with bi-fold doors which lead out into a raised decking area idea for alfresco dining and socialising.
