Chorltonville is a garden village dating from 1911 within Chorlton, in Manchester, North West England. It retains much of its original character, including architecture inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement.
The Chorltonville estate comprises 262 houses in twelve streets, centred on a "village green", The Meade. It measures about 500 metres east-west by 260 metres north-south—around 10.5 hectares. The estate is separated from the central part of Chorlton on the north by Chorlton Brook, and on the south side borders the Hardy Lane residential area and the fields of Hardy Farm in the Mersey Valley Countryside area. Vehicular access is via Claude Road (east) or Brookburn Road (north), and there is a footpath to Hurstville Road on the south side and another towards Hardy Farm to the south-west. The estate and an adjoining football field (owned and occupied by West Didsbury & Chorlton Football Club) are one of Manchester Council's 32 conservation areas. The designation was made in 1991.
