About

Poynton West sits within the wider town of Poynton, characterised by residential streets that branch out from the central shopping area. The housing is primarily a mix of interwar and later 20th-century developments, offering a range of property styles. The area is bordered by green corridors, including the Middlewood Way, a popular traffic-free route for walking and cycling along a former railway line.
