About Chorlton
Chorlton’s name probably means Ceolfrith’s farmstead. Victorian developers added ‘-cum-Hardy’ after the railway first arrived in 1880, and the area became part of Manchester in 1904. It sits around three miles south-west of Manchester city centre.
Homes grew up around the Barlow Moor Road and Wilbraham Road crossroads, attracting commuters into Manchester. Chorlton Green and Chorltonville are conservation areas, and the Bee Gees spent much of their childhood here before moving to Australia.

Is Chorlton
a good place to live?
Chorlton offers a genuinely strong community feel, independent shops and cafés, green space along the Mersey, well-rated schools and quick tram links. The £100m-plus redevelopment of the old precinct will add 262 homes, shops and a new public square.
The trade-offs are rising house prices, with the average up 9% in a year, and building work on the precinct site, which has meant hoardings and road closures. Competition for the best family homes near Beech Road can also be intense, so register early.
