'Why wouldn't you live here?': Greater Manchester suburb once in rich neighbours' shadow now among Britain's 'most desirable'
The importance of the railway station in the history of the Stockport suburb of Cheadle Hulme should not be underestimated. Its arrival in the mid-19th Century set into motion the village’s transformation from a collection of small hamlets into a suburb of nearly 30,000.
On the corner of Church Road and Ravenoak Road sits Cheadle Hulme’s oldest pub. The Church Inn, formerly a couple of 18th century cottages, feels like a country boozer with its oak panelling, open fire and cosy nooks, and is run by landlord Edward Bromley. For Inventery’s General Manager Ben Kendrick, 21, who has lived in Cheadle Hulme his whole life, it’s the convenience the village offers that makes it an attractive place to move for commuters and families. “We’re right next door to the airport, we’ve got hospitals close by, outstanding schools, and direct links to Manchester - you’re only ten minutes from everything you could need,” says Ben.
“I’m also really surprised,” adds Linda, who’s lived in the area for more than 50 years. “When I was growing up here there were loads of green spaces and fields and it is now so residential, all the green spaces are gradually disappearing. It’s a sentiment echoed by Mike and Mandy, Bramhall residents, who visit the precinct - home to coffee shops, pet stores and supermarkets - on almost a daily basis. “The beauty of this area is that it has everything you need, all the transport links, the airport, all the shops that you could possibly want, multiple cinema complexes within ten minutes, and every retail outlet within a very short distance, so it’s very convenient,” says Mike.
Fortunately, it doesn’t boast the same house prices either. According to Zoopla, the average sold price for a property in Cheadle Hulme in the last 12 months was £399,851. The average sold price for detached in the suburb was £564,774, while semi-detached was £395,524, and terraced was £289.305. “We’ve got a fantastic and loyal customer base, and there’s a real community feel to the place. I've been here 35 years so I’ve seen families grow up here.”
