Summary: Torkington Hall Farm is a magnificent 17th Century Grade II listed four/five bed, three bath detached residence with outbuildings standing in grounds of approximately one third of an acre off Torkington Road.
Features: A simply captivating period property affording the charm, space and character of bygone eras with surprise and interest at every turn. Pleasantly located in historical, semi-rural Torkington, close to Torkington Primary School and Park, and only minutes from Stockport and Hazel Grove Golf Clubs, Hazel Grove village centre and railway station, and the semmms airport link road. House and grounds have been sympathetically restored in recent years to provide impressive, well presented family living accommodation on a near grand scale. Beamed ceilings, sash windows, stone sills, latched doors, stone and oak floors, the obligatory creak, the odd gentle slope, the cobbled courtyard with outbuildings (including garage) and the good size rear garden. It's all here. An inspection is not only 'a must', it's an experience.
Location: Good shopping, schooling, recreational and public transport facilities serve the immediate area whilst Marple, Disley, Macclesfield, Poynton, Bramhall, Stockport and Manchester centres, MediaCityUK, Manchester International Airport and access points to the national motorway network are all within comfortable commuting distance.
Directions: From our Hazel Grove office turn right onto the A6 London Road turning left at the traffic lights into Torkington Road. Follow the road round before taking the second turning off onto the right and continuing along Torkington Road. At the small roundabout turn left into Hall Farm Close with the gated Torkington Hall Farm on your right.
Accommodation: All measurements are approximate.
