It forms a semi rural area of mainly ribbon development with open aspect to the Southern Section of the Pennines and the Peak District National Park.

Bordering the Cheshire countryside, the majority of the area is laid out to the farming community.

Good access is provided to countryside and villages, shopping centres, towns, both state and independent schools, Manchester Airport, and a bypass to Motorway links. All of which are close at hand but fortunately not intrusive upon the area.
