Directions from Henbury to our base
Henbury is a small village on the west side of Macclesfield, past Broken Cross and before the road runs on towards Chelford. It is not an estate. Houses sit near the church and along lanes, some close to Chelford Road, some set back behind hedges. You get stone and brick family homes, a few cottages, and drives that can be gravel, short, or shared.
From 34 Market Pl the practical route is west through the town and out along the Chelford Road. It is a short drive. The main road is simple. The address may not be. If the last section is a lane with grass in the middle, or a drive that ends at a gate, we need to know before we send a large van. A man and van is sometimes the better tool for a modest list on a tight approach. A full house still wants a proper crew. The vehicle is chosen for the lane, not as a guess.
Parking on the main road is not a place to unload for long. We look for the drive or a safe verge that does not force other drivers onto the wrong side of a bend. Tell us about low branches and a gate that needs opening. Photos help.
There is no shop parade or library in the village. Whirley Primary, back towards Broken Cross, is the nearby school many families look at, and you should check admissions with the school and Cheshire East rather than assume a place. West Park is the town park if you want a playground. The station and hospital are in Macclesfield. Bins and council tax start with Cheshire East as soon as you have the completion date.

Moving in Henbury: common questions
Is Henbury the same as a Macclesfield estate?
No. It is a small village on the west side, with lanes and houses set apart, not a grid of closes.
Which postcodes should I quote?
Use your full postcode. Henbury sits among SK10 and SK11 addresses on this side of town, and the full code is what the van follows.
Can you bring a smaller van for a lane?
Yes, when the address needs it. Say if the road is single track or the drive is short.
