Ella Mews, Chinley, SK23
<u> OWNER COMMENT:</u>
“This was our first home, and it's where we've made so many of our happiest memories. We've got married, started our family and watched our lives change while living here, and the house has been brilliant for every stage. We've loved being part of Chinley too, particularly having such lovely neighbours who've always looked out for us. Being able to walk to the station in a couple of minutes has been fantastic for work, and having the countryside so close by is something we've never taken for granted. We'll be genuinely sad to leave.”
<u> LOCAL AREA:</u>
There's a lot more to Chinley than just a convenient location. Surrounded by the hills of the High Peak, it's a village with a long history. Once known as Maynestonefield before the arrival of the railway helped establish the name Chinley and transformed a small rural settlement into an important railway connection, with direct services to Manchester and Sheffield from a station just two minutes' walk from here at Ella Mews. Though the village itself has plenty of rural charm and character, with The Old Hall Inn and The Paper Mill some of the favourite places for locals to spend an evening.
For families, the sought-after Chinley Primary School (Ofsted: Good) is within walking distance, the countryside is close enough for an evening walk after work, Mam Tor and Combs offer plenty of reasons to head out at the weekend, and for the weekly shop, both Aldi and Morrisons are around five minutes away by car in neighbouring Chapel-en-le-Frith. It's easy to understand why people put down roots here, and rarely leave the village once they've settled.
<u> AGENT'S DESCRIPTION:</u>
Built in 2008 and thoughtfully updated by its current owners, 2 Ella Mews is a beautifully presented, three-bedroom home offering 822 sq ft of contemporary living in the heart of Chinley. The open-plan lounge and dining room is a comfortable space to spend time together, whether that's a quiet evening on the sofa or having friends round for dinner, with a large front window bringing in plenty of natural light. The modern kitchen, featuring an integrated dishwasher, electric oven and gas hob, is smartly finished with Herringbone LVT flooring matching throughout the ground floor. There's multiple spots of useful storage too, along with a separate ground-floor WC.
Upstairs, two double bedrooms are joined by a third bedroom currently used as a nursery, to perfectly accommodate a growing family, or equally, the third could make a dedicated study for those working from home. The bathroom was completely renovated in 2022, with marble-effect tiling, a spacious walk-in shower and fitted vanity storage. New flooring, carpets and internal doors have helped give the whole house its fresh, contemporary feel. A replacement boiler installed in October 2025 and a boarded loft with ladder mean this home isn't just beautiful, it's practical too.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is somewhere children can play safely, dogs can enjoy being outdoors securely and summer evenings can be spent around the table or a barbecue with friends and family. A paved patio and artificial lawn keep maintenance to a minimum, with a gated pathway leading to a further elevated lawn above the stone retaining wall. At the front, a private driveway provides parking for two cars, complete with an EV charging point. And with Chinley station only a two-minute walk away, leaving the car at home for the daily commute is a realistic option.
For its current owners, this has been far more than a first step onto the property ladder. It's where they've celebrated getting married, started their family and made years of happy memories. Now ready for somebody else to begin their own chapter, Ella Mews offers the chance to move straight into a home that's already been cared for and improved, with enough space to grow into and a village they'll be proud to call home.
