Affordable homes for long-term security

Hatters Yard offers a genuinely affordable housing mix, with homes available through both social rent and Rent to Buy. This dual approach ensures that residents at different life stages can access a secure, high-quality home that meets their needs. Social rent provides stability and certainty for those seeking long-term affordability, while Rent to Buy supports those working towards home ownership. Together, these options create a more inclusive community, helping more people stay in Stockport, put down roots and build a stable future in a place they can truly call home.

A new neighbourhood by the River Mersey

Hatters Yard will create a new area to live in within Stockport town centre, formed of two adjacent apartment buildings. With enhanced public realm, creating pedestrianised access to the River Mersey, the development opens up new connections and brings life back to this part of Chestergate. Positioned alongside Weir Mill and close to the emerging Stockport 8 neighbourhood, it will help shape a vibrant place to live and spend time. Excellent access to the Interchange and town centre amenities ensures residents are well connected, supporting the area’s transformation into a thriving, active community.
