Cheadle Hulme is an affluent village in Stockport, known for its excellent schools, well-regarded residential streets and desirable property values. The housing includes Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached properties in the older village area around the railway station and Hulme Hall Road, and a large number of 1930s to 1950s detached homes on the surrounding residential streets. Properties here tend to be larger than average for the area, with wider hallways and — in some cases — more complex staircase layouts than you would find in the standard terrace belt.
