About Heaton Mersey
Where to stay in Heaton Mersey
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Heaton Mersey keeps its beds few. The Grove and St Johns Road carry the listed houses and the quiet that goes with them, so a stay on those streets suits anyone happy to walk across the boundary into Didsbury for the evening. Highfield Park opens on one side.
If you need choice rather than calm, Stockport town centre and the Manchester side hold far more rooms, and Burnage lies close enough to make either an easy base.
About Heaton Mersey
What are the main landmarks in Heaton Mersey?
Two churches head the list. The Church of St John the Baptist stands within Heaton Mersey, while the Church of St Nicholas, Burnage sits just over the boundary in the neighbouring suburb. Parrs Wood House is listed too.
Park House and Park End House keep their grounds, Pine House and Beechwood hold their own frontages, and the houses at 1, 15 and 17 The Grove make a listed group.
What is the history of Heaton Mersey?
Heaton Mersey grew at a boundary. The suburb belongs to Stockport, in Greater Manchester, yet its streets run straight up against Didsbury and Burnage, both of which sit inside the City of Manchester, and that line still decides which authority the ground answers to. Parrs Wood House keeps its name on that edge.
Listed frontages on The Grove, at 10, St Johns Road and at Highfield Park record the building that filled the ground between the two boroughs.
Where is Heaton Mersey?
The suburb sits on the north-western border of Stockport, next to Didsbury and Burnage, both of which fall inside the City of Manchester.
