Move to Chorlton for its quirky independents, trendy eateries and a touch of real community spirit..

This fashionable suburb with its leafy roads is an ideal place to shop, dine, drink and relax…

Cool and quirky are terms often associated with vibrant suburb Chorlton-cum-Hardy, where just a single wander down the high street will leave you feeling as though you’ve hit the jackpot with independent businesses.

Its relaxed vibe and quirky independent feel offers a lovely home (although quite pricey) for those who don’t fancy the full Manchester lifestyle, but who don’t want to be too far away – hop on a tram and you can travel between the two within about 15 minutes.

The leafy Beech Road is a hit for shoppers and diners who enjoy trendy bars and restaurants, and every third Saturday of the month you’re in for a treat with the Chorlton makers’ market. You’ll certainly never have a sleepy Saturday here…especially if you have a love for all things authentic.

When it comes to where to live, Eddie Ellis, owner of JP and Brimelow, says: “Chorlton is a property hotspot lying at the very heart of Manchester’s most fashionable suburb, a village community amongst leafy roads with all of the local amenities you could wish for in close proximity to Manchester city centre.

“My office is situated in the centre of Chorlton village, sandwiched between High Lane and Wilbraham Road. A short stroll from nearby Beech Road, where there is an abundance of lively bars, restaurants, artisan shops and independents to choose from. Once you’ve walked down Beech Road and arrived at Chorlton Green, you instantly feel like you’ve left the city far behind.

“Chorlton Green also has fantastic access to the countryside as well as urban parks. Meandering through the tree-lined paths of Chorlton Ees Nature Reserve you’ll discover meadows and lakes perfect for dog-walking or running along the river Mersey.

“From here you can link up to a network of off-road cycling paths that take you across the city and into Cheshire. Chorlton is a place like no other.”
