2 bed cottage to rent

Heald Wood Road, Stockport SK6

Nestled away from passing traffic, this charming cottage is full of character and history, being the birthplace of renowned classicist and historian Sir Ernest Barker. Steeped in heritage yet offering modern comforts, the property benefits from gas central heating and a peaceful semi-rural setting, while still being within easy reach of local amenities and transport links to Manchester. Furnished as seen in the photos, it strikes the perfect balance between cosy and practical, with exposed beams and period-style windows adding to its inviting feel.

The ground floor features a well-equipped fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, including a tumble dryer, leading through to a spacious lounge that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is also a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, the master bedroom is generously sized, while the second bedroom provides a versatile space for guests or a home office. The large family bathroom benefits from both a bathtub and a separate shower, creating a relaxing retreat at the end of the day.

Outside, the property enjoys charming outdoor spaces, with a beautifully maintained courtyard and garden providing an idyllic setting to relax or entertain. Parking is typically at the north end of the house, as the gated driveway belongs to a neighbouring property, though a suitable arrangement is possible. With pets considered and an initial 6-month tenancy to start, this unique home presents an excellent opportunity for professionals seeking a tranquil yet well-connected place to live, rich in both character and local heritage.
