Bosden Farm is a suburban housing estate with a population of around 3,000 on the edge of Offerton, bordering Marple and Hazel Grove, in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England, surrounded by land used for agricultural purposes.
Under the name of Bosden, Bosden Farm formed first a township and then, from 1866 to 1900, a civil parish in Cheshire.
Bosden was one of the eight civil parishes of Cheshire to be included in the Stockport rural sanitary district in 1875. From 1894 it formed part of the Stockport Rural District. In 1900, the parish was abolished and it instead became part of the Hazel Grove and Bramhall civil parish and urban district. [1] Hazel Grove and Bramhall Urban District was abolished in 1974 and as Bosden Farm, the area has since formed part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester. [2]
As of 2004, there is only one primary school after the closure of St. Stephen's Church of England Primary School.

It serves as an active part of the community, providing local education to the pupils in the area and also holding public events and gatherings in the main hall and grounds.
Bosden Farm Football Club was established in 2022.[ citation needed ]
