Chapel Lane, Rainow, SK10

Located in the heart of the lovely picturesque village of Rainow, and surrounded by fabulous Peak District countryside, this modern 4-bedroom family home is presented in lovely condition throughout. Occupying a good-sized corner plot, the property commands a rather privileged position, standing elevated over neighbouring properties and enjoying open countryside views. The current owners have carried out many improvements to the accommodation during their ownership, however, with a heavy heart, they have made the decision to relocate further south to be closer to family. 

Rainow is a postcard-pretty village, positioned within the protected Peak District National Park. The village dates from the late 13th century and lies some 3.5 miles to the north east of Macclesfield. Traditional Peak stone cottages run the length of the village, which is served by a sought-after primary school [virtually neighbouring], community chapel, and church, and also features a cosy log fire inn - The Robin Hood is located within a stones-throw of this particular property and offers a good selection of home cooked food, which proves popular with regulars and visitors alike. Manchester is approximately 17 miles to the north west, with Manchester International Airport reached in approximately 30 minutes. Both Rainow and the nearby village of Bollington, attract a wide variety of outdoor pursuit enthusiasts - walkers, climbers, joggers and cyclists, are regular visitors, enjoying the breathtaking rolling hills and valleys - this is indeed a nature & out of doors enthusiast's paradise. It is true to say that Rainow residents would generally choose no other location; the community spirit and stunning environment easily outweigh the convenience of nearby towns.

The property itself occupies a good-sized elevated plot, surrounded by gardens to all sides. The property is approached from Chapel Lane to the rear of The Robin Hobin Hood Inn, a double-width and length driveway fronts the property, and in turn, leads to a most spacious integral double garage and workshop. The front door opens to reveal a most welcoming light, and airy reception hallway which has benefitted from recent redecoration and remodeling. The lounge is located to the front, and due to the elevated position, enjoys fabulous views over nearby fields, woodland, and hills. This super reception room offers a great deal of family living space and features a chimney breast with a cosy, and most efficient, cast iron woodburning stove. Bifolding doors open from the lounge to reveal a recently installed fully-fitted dining kitchen, complete with a comprehensive range of integrated appliances and benefits from ample space to comfortably dine. A most useful separate utility room takes care of the laundry duties, and neighbours a downstairs WC and integrated garage/workshop.

The first floor landing is accessed from the hallway, by a quarter turn staircase with valuable built-in storage. The spacious double-sized master bedroom is located to the front aspect and enjoys superb countryside views. Three further bedrooms are complemented by a recently refurbished contemporary-style family bathroom. 

For those requiring a turn-key solution, this property is in 'ready to move straight in' condition and benefits from full double glazing and a gas combination hot water and central heating system. The potential exists for further accommodation to be created, if so desired - a relatively inexpensive and less intrusive conversion of one or both garages [subject to any necessary consents/approvals being sought], would create a most amazing living space, complete with lovely countryside views.

Viewing appointments are highly advised to fully appreciate the super location, along with all the features this fabulous property has to offer.
