Its outside spaces must be highlighted: the large gardens and grounds and terraces are a safe haven, ideal for families with young children ideal for any age group or gardener, as the grounds provide a spacious environment to socialise with friends and family. The gated driveway offers exterior parking for multiple cars, and there is a large detached double garage. The huge plot which extends to a massive 0.5 acres abuts fields and farmland, offering pleasant rural views, with immediate access onto The Gritstone Trail and The Staffordshire Way offering safe and beautiful walks to such destinations as Rudyard Reservoir and the National Trusts, “The Cloud”. It is also easy walking distance to the popular Knot Inn public house and an excellent local bakery.
Rushton Spencer is a sought-after rural village, which boasts some local amenities, in particular its own FIRST school, classed as "outstanding" by Ofsted, with the centres of Congleton, Leek and Macclesfield just a short drive away.
Macclesfield is a thriving market town that provides a comprehensive range of shops, varied social and recreational amenities and good schools for children of all ages. For the commuter, Manchester International Airport and its connection with the North West motorway network are approximately thirty minutes away by car and the railway station in Macclesfield provides fast and frequent Intercity and commuter links with Manchester, London and the surrounding business centres.
The traditional centre of Leek is close by with its well-preserved architecture and historical links with the Napoleonic Wars and the Arts and Crafts movement make it a popular destination for an interesting town walk.
Highlights include buildings associated with writer, artist and designer William Morris, who came to Leek to study dyeing and printing techniques in the 1870s, plus stained glass designed by Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones in the Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor.
Close by is the area known as 'Petty France', where former French prisoners of war brought to the town in the early 19th century lived and were later buried in the parish graveyard.
The unspoilt town centre offers a refreshing alternative to from modern shopping malls and has a wealth of independent shops, including former silk mills housing antique and reproduction pine centres, as well as traditional and contemporary furnishings.
Delicious local produce can be found in abundance at traditional butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delicatessens, and cafes. Leek is also home to speciality producers of condiments, confectionery, preserves, wine, whisky, craft beers and the traditional Staffordshire oatcake.
Traditional markets abound, both indoors in the beautifully restored Victorian Butter Market and outdoors in the Market Place, offering everything from general goods, antiques and collectables to fine foods and special 'Totally Locally' Sunday markets. And when it comes to wining and dining, you can choose from a tempting selection of cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.
Further afield, you'll find the unique, tooth-like rock formations of The Roaches, Rudyard Lake with its picturesque setting and narrow-gauge railway and Tittesworth Water, a popular and accessible attraction for visitors of all ages. Or catch up on industrial history at Brindley's Mill and Cheddleton Flint Mill.
