The accommodation at present comprises an entrance vestibule, entrance hall, lounge, 23 ft sitting room/family room, conservatory, kitchen, utility, shower/WC, inner hall and large workshop. To the first floor the landing allows access to three double bedrooms and a large bathroom/WC. The vendor has put in for planning to extend the property and the plans can be viewed on our website. An oil fired under floor central heating system to the ground floor and radiators to the first floor are installed but do need connecting to the boiler.
The property enjoys a magical location and benefits from approximately 7.61 acres of paddocks, mature lawns, flowerbeds, woodland, patio areas and the most picturesque pond at the bottom end of the drive adjoining Calrofold Lane. There are timber constructed stables and planning was originally obtained for a large agricultural shed.
A special mention must be made to the most amazing views over the adjoining countryside and hills beyond.
There is a wide range of shopping, travel, educational and recreational facilities available in Macclesfield and local facilities in Rainow including a good primary school and The Robin Hood public house. Access points to the national motorway network, Inter-City rail travel direct to London and Manchester International Airport are all within 10 and 30 minutes drive of the property respectively.
Directions:
From the centre of Macclesfield proceed up Hurdsfield Road adjacent to Tesco Superstore in the direction of Rainow. Just as you enter Rainow, bear right into Calrofold Lane where the property can be found set back after approximately a third of a mile on the right hand side.
