Stockport’s best kept secret

Cheadle Hulme has a rich history that includes connections to the Bronze Age and the Anglo-Saxons. There is mention of the area in the Domesday Book from 1086, when the area was a large estate. In the early 14th century, the area was split into southern and northern parts, creating Cheadle Hulme and Cheadle. The area was formed from a number of hamlets, many of which have held on to their names as neighbourhoods within Cheadle Hulme.

Unlike many villages in England, Cheadle Hulme didn’t grow around a church. Instead it grew from several hamlets in the area. Many of the names of the hamlets still exists but in the form of road names, such as Smithy Green, Lane End, Gill Bent and Grove Lane. The names of the farms that once covered the area live on in the schools that have since been built in their place.

There are still a number of buildings and landmarks that date back to the 16th century, and of course Bramhall Hall which dates from the 14th century. There are many Victorian buildings dotted around the area too. Bramhall Hall is a Grade I listed building and is black and white timber-framed Tudor manor house that sits between Cheadle Hulme and neighbouring Bramhall. It sits on 70 acres of pretty parkland that includes lakes, gardens and woodland. The house and the gardens are open to the public throughout the year.

Today, Cheadle Hulme has over 26,000 residents and combines spectacular scenery, excellent transport links with great shopping opportunities and highly rated schools. There is a railway station in the village, along with bus routes and the area is close to Manchester Airport and the busy A34.

There are a large variety of business that serve the village. The busy shopping precinct can be found on Station Road and is home to charity shops, supermarkets, hairdressers, clothes shops and a number of restaurants. More restaurants can be found along Station Road along with other shops.

Bruntwood Park provides a whole host of activities for people of all ages. From orienteering, to an 18-hole golf course, football pitches, archery club, children’s play areas and a BMX track. Bruntwood Hall is a Victorian gothic building that was built in 1861 and after being used as the town hall, it is now used as offices.

Cheadle Hulme is a popular place for visitors, but although the village is often bustling with activity, it doesn’t feel overcrowded. It has grown into a popular modern village, but visitors can still appreciate the area’s wonderful charm and history.
