Spouthouse Farm dates from the 17th century and was originally an isolated farmhouse. It was a stagecoach stop on the main Stockport to Sheffield Stage Coach route. The three-storey property on the right was originally weavers cottages.
The adjacent barn on the corner of Tatton Street, piggeries and hayloft were converted in the 1970s into residential accommodation.
