Semi-detached house for sale in Middlehills, Macclesfield SK11

A Traditional Semi-Detached Home Offering Extended Family Living Accommodation & Situated In An Enviable Location With Privileged Elevated Views Over The Cheshire Plains. Quiet Cul-De-Sac & Just 5 Minutes' Drive To Macclesfield Town Centre. 3 Bedrooms & Attic Room With Extended Open-Plan Kitchen. No Chain.

Middlehills is a quiet cul-de-sac set on the fringe of stunning open Peak District countryside. With privileged panoramic elevated views over almost the entire Cheshire Plains - the environment is simply peaceful.

Considering the tranquil location neighbouring open countryside, one may mistakenly form the opinion the location could be rather isolated; however, Macclesfield town centre and the mainline Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston railway station can be reached in just five minutes by car, or approximately twenty-five minutes by foot.

This is a perfect location for those searching for a slightly quieter lifestyle - a perfect environment for lovers of the outdoors. Teggs Nose, Macclesfield Forest, and the surrounding rolling hills offer almost limitless access to walkers, joggers, and cyclists.

Number 8 Middlehills is a traditional-style semi-detached home, which benefits from a ground floor extension to provide a contemporary-designed open-plan diner kitchen and separate utility room. The accommodation extends over three floors to include a useful attic conversion with stunning open countryside views. This useful additional space has been utilised in the past as an occasional bedroom, whilst presently serving as a home office.

The property occupies a good-sized plot, lending itself the potential to extend the accommodation further if so desired. There is also space to the side to create further parking or hardstanding.

The accommodation is entered via an enclosed entrance porch to the front, or by the utility and boot room which is located to the side of the property - both usefully provide space for coat and shoe/boot storage before entering the main living space. A second, original front door, is surrounded by stunning original art deco-era stained and leaded glass panels, beautifully depicting a summer sunrise. The door opens from the front porch to reveal a welcoming and naturally bright reception hallway, featuring natural pine skirting boards and door frames.

A roomy dining room, complete with the original chimney breast and focal cast iron fireplace features an almost full-width bay window with top lights replicating the beautiful stained panel sunrise in the hallway. This is a room full of character with a fabulous curved bay window and tubular 'deco-style' central heating radiator.

Adjoining the front reception room but separated by the original dividing wall, a cosy family living room also retains the original chimney breast and cast iron fireplace, whilst benefitting from French doors which open to an elevated rear garden decked balcony.

To the rear end of the reception hallway, a contemporary-style fully fitted kitchen opens to an informal extended dining area with a magnificent vaulted ceiling, incorporating three Velux skylights and oversized sliding patio doors; all combining to flood this super kitchen area with natural light. A separate utility and boot room is located directly off the kitchen and dining area and provides independent access directly to the front elevation - ideal for outside laundry drying, or following a wet and muddy dog walk perhaps!

To the first floor, a double-sized master bedroom enjoys incredible elevated views over the Cheshire Plains and towards Manchester city centre and the airport. A second double-sized, bay-fronted bedroom benefits from a comprehensive range of floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, whilst a third bedroom also features a built-in wardrobe and a built in bed with 3 large storage drawers under. A spacious family bathroom incorporates both a bath and walk-in shower facility; a practical solution for adults, younger children, and teenagers alike.

From the landing, an enclosed, bespoke crafted staircase, rises to a converted attic room with dormer windows, which has been used as an occasional bedroom and home office. The attic room enjoys incredible views over open countryside to the front aspect and panoramic views over the Cheshire Plains and as far as distant Welsh hills to the rear.
