Macclesfield Road was closed to traffic in both directions, north of Woodbrook Road, earlier today following a house fire.
One fire engine from Wilmslow and one from Macclesfield were called to Edgecroft at 11.17am where they discovered a small fire in a rear bedroom of the property.
Fire crews wearing full breathing aparatus used one hose reel to extinguish the fire and positive pressure ventilation to clear the house of smoke.
Phil Kiljour, Station Manager at Stockton Heath, said "The fire was contained within the bedroom but substantial smoke damage has been caused to the rest of the house.
"The cause of the fire is unclear. We have a Specialist Fire Investigating Officer currently on route.
"One female occupant has been transferred to Wythenshawe Hospital for precautionary checks for smoke inhalation. Nobody else has been hurt."
Update: This article was updated to reflect that the road had since reopened.
