Where is the Folds situated?

The new residential development is located in Romiley, a charming village that lies within the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Furthermore, the area is home to 4 conservation areas: Barlow Fold, Chadkirk, Church Lane, and Greave Fold. The Folds boasts a prime location, nestled in the very heart of the village, right next to a diverse collection of shops and eateries. There are plenty of waterways to stroll along, coupled with amazing green spaces, such as Overdale Park.

Although shielded from the buzzing streets of the city centre by a vast green canvas, the neighbourhood has amazing transport links.
