2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Cumberland Court, Cumberland Street, Macclesfield SK10

Tucked away within a small, gated development right in the heart of the town centre, this converted stable offers something quite rare — a real sense of privacy and calm, despite being just moments from everything you need.

Accessed via a private cobbled road, the setting immediately feels tucked away from the outside world. Once through the gates, you’re welcomed into a communal cobbled courtyard, creating a charming and well-kept environment for residents. Here, you’ll find allocated parking along with additional visitor spaces, all within a setting that feels both secure and low maintenance.

The property itself forms part of a historic stable block, believed to have originally served the Grade II listed residence on Jordangate — a detail that gives a real sense of history and purpose to the building. You can still see hints of that past today, particularly in the front elevation, where large double opening doors lead into the lounge, and the kitchen is accessed via a traditional stable door, framed by full-height windows with an arched window above — likely the original access point for horses.

Inside, the space is immediately noticeable. The ground floor has been designed to feel open and connected, with the lounge and dining kitchen arranged as separate but open-plan spaces, allowing for a natural flow between the two. The lounge centres around a log burning stove set on a stone hearth, creating a warm focal point, while still feeling sociable and linked to the kitchen — ideal for both day-to-day living and having people over.

The kitchen is supported by a separate utility room, providing additional storage and space for appliances, with access through to a downstairs WC — a practical layout that works well for everyday living.

Upstairs is where the property really stands out. The landing and both bedrooms feature vaulted, beamed ceilings, creating a real sense of volume and character that you don’t often find. The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a separate bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests, giving the layout a practical balance that works well day-to-day.

It’s worth noting that the property doesn’t come with formal private outside space. However, the position within the courtyard means there is scope to place a small table and chairs directly outside, creating a simple spot to sit out and enjoy the setting.

From a practical point of view, the property is double glazed throughout and warmed via electric heating, making it a straightforward, low-maintenance option — ideal for anyone looking for ease without compromise.

The location is another key part of the appeal. Being right in the town centre means shops, cafés and everyday amenities are all within easy reach, yet the gated setting and courtyard position create a clear separation from the busyness outside.

Offered for sale with no onward chain and having been owned by the same person since its original conversion, this is a home that would suit someone looking for something a little different — a property with character, generous space and a private, tucked-away feel, all within a small and friendly community setting.
