6 bed detached house for sale

Beech Lane, Macclesfield SK10

Most Macclesfield locals will know this home, they will have walked past it on their way to school and wondered what lay behind the pillar box red gate.

Now offered to market for the first time in 46 years, this house is like no other home on the market today.

The first dating of this home stretches back to 1816 although we are unable to obtain an exact year of build. Only ten families have held residence in that time, and now, it is time for a new family to take ownership.

Firstly, let's talk location. Beech Lane is arguably one of Macclesfields most desirable locations with superb schooling nearby, imposing homes and within walking distance to the town centre and train station with a regular service to Manchester City Centre.

Macclesfield itself is an old silk manufacturing town and there is a wealth of history and character everywhere you look. Today, we house independent stores and coffee houses a plenty, food halls, monthly makers markets and a thriving community spirit.

And now for the house itself. An imposing home, on an elevated plot. Character features adorn the exterior with a pillar box red front door, and nods to it's history through the window tax era.

The plot itself is generous. Wrapped in gardens with mature shrubs alongside a rear courtyard with exposed brick wall.

Internally 5400 Sq ft of accommodation is stretched across four floors and into an annexe/cottage.

To the ground floor, two principal reception rooms with large windows allowing for natural light aplenty, alongside a study, kitchen diner, utility, WC, and pantry with access into cottage.

Access to the cellar can be found via an internal hallway,

To the first floor, four bedrooms, all generous in size. The master has fitted wardrobes, dual aspect windows with beautiful views over the grounds and access to the Jack and Jill bathroom that has recently been refitted to offer a walk in shower, separate bath and vanity sink unit space.

Another bathroom can also be found on this floor to service the remaining bedrooms.

A beautiful feature window on the stairwell stretching all three floors casts wonderful light trails through landing spaces.

To the top floor an additional two double bedrooms both with feature windows, a spacious landing with storage and refitted shower room.

Through into the cottage space, which would be ideal for development into a multi generational living facility, studio or work from home office with a reception space to the ground floor, previously used as an entertaining space with built in bar and access into the courtyard and stairs to a first floor room - previously used as games room.

This home has such versatile space and scope for growing families or further development and is truly a privilege to market
