The 1846 tithe map shows that Cheadle Bulkeley was intertwined with Cheadle Moseley township, an unusual situation in Cheshire. The 1870s Ordnance Survey map shows that the townships each had many detached portions, several enclosed within the other. (Cheadle Moseley had 8 detached portions, and Cheadle Bulkeley had 35 detached portions.)

Together, the two townships were bordered to the west by Stockport Etchells, to the north by Heaton Norris, to the east by Bramhall and Stockport and to the south by Handforth.
