About

Cheadle Heath is a residential district situated southwest of Stockport town centre, bordering the River Mersey. The area is characterised by a mix of interwar and post-war housing, with many semi-detached homes. Its main commercial activity is concentrated along the Stockport Road corridor, which provides essential local shops and services. The presence of several industrial and business parks, particularly near the M60 motorway, contributes to the local employment base.

The area is defined by its proximity to green spaces like Abney Hall Park, which offers recreational ground along the river. Cheadle Heath is also home to the large Heathbank Hospital site, a notable local landmark. Public transport connections are provided primarily by bus routes linking to Stockport and Manchester.
