Full Description
Superb opportunity to acquire a substantial detached period farmhouse with adjoining cottage, occupying an idyllic location enjoying gardens and grounds extending to approximately 2.8 acres (tbc) yet within a short distance of Macclesfield town centre and train station, which has easy commuter access to both London and Manchester.
Constructed of stone, this substantial detached property offers the discerning purchaser a versatile home, with large living accommodation over two floors, enjoying a great deal of charm and character and original features throughout. On entering the property you are immediately welcomed by a 16ft reception hall/living room with cast iron stove, family room, superb dining kitchen enjoying Shaker style units with granite worktops and built-in Aga, pantry with original stone slaps, wine cellar, playroom, boot room with hanging pegs for coats, w.c, and separate utility. To the first floor the split level landing allows access to three double bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en-suite). The fourth bedroom and en-suite can be accessed from the second staircase. An oil fired central heating system is installed. Immediately adjacent to the main house, with both external and internal access, is the cottage that can be independently enjoyed, and the accommodation briefly comprises on the ground floor: Spacious living room opening through to a large dining kitchen with built-in kitchen units, shower room, w.c, and separate utility. To the first floor there is a huge bedroom with sitting area, measuring approximately 25ft with en-suite w.c and wash hand basin. The cottage is independently heated, with an underfloor heating system run from an oil fired central heating boiler. An internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate both the house and cottage and to fully understand the versatile accommodation, along with the many original features.
The property is approached by a deep gravel driveway, which leads to a recently constructed double detached garage, which could easily be converted into separate accommodation, subject to the prospective purchaser's wishes and the relevant planning consent. There is an additional cobbled hard-standing area for a number of vehicles. The gardens are laid mainly down to lawn with well stocked borders, shrubs, mature and specimen trees. The paddock is again laid down to grass and enjoys a woodland area, superb recently constructed tree house, numerous patios and terraced areas and stone outbuildings.
The property also carries a lot of history and still has the foundations of the original house known as 'The One House', which is located approximately 100 yards from Grove Farm. Prospective purchasers who might wish to redevelop, could find it worthwhile investigating with Cheshire East Planning Department.
There is a wide range of shopping, travel, educational and recreational facilities available in Macclesfield. Access points to the national motorway network, Inter-City rail travel to London and Manchester International Airport are all within 30 minutes drive of the property.
