5 Beech Bank, Macclesfield, SK10

Brock Cottage is a highly individual, hand-crafted 'Potton' oak-framed detached home, located in the bountiful gardens of the current owner's former family home; Brocklebank and Newly constructed in 2005 of solid oak, clad in Cheshire brick, the property features fabulous exposed oak timber beams and posts throughout - a modern adaptation of original medieval architecture, but with state of the art mod cons. Presented in impeccable condition throughout, this stunning home offers deceptively spacious accommodation, ideal for a family, as well as providing a home-based work solution for the growing population requiring home working space.

Beech Bank is a quiet and rather select neighbourhood; the former Brocklebank garden is shared by less than a handful of individual residences, to include a now fully restored Brocklebank. The location is a perfect balance for both convenience and privacy, situated just a stones-throw of the town center and the fabulous Riverside Way, Bollin Valley and Middlewood Way. A selection of sought-afterprimary and secondary schools are all within easy walking distance, as are Macclesfield's mainline Manchester to London railway station, and all the amenities the town centre has to offer.

Tucked away behind a traditionally built Peak stone wall, the residences within Beech Bank occupy individual plots, each accessed via an attractive brick-block-laid shared entranceway. Brock Cottage stands proudly to the far end of Beech Bank, nettling behind mature hedges and attractive brick walls and approached via a private driveway with wall and pillar entrance borders. The driveway opens to both the front and one side of the property, offering plenty of parking options for several vehicles, whilst also leading to a spacious detached double garage.

The accommodation and focus to detail have been incredibly well thought through. It is not just the practical, economical and cosmetic detail, but also the quality of finish that have all combined to create this most stunning and luxurious family home.

Approached via an open entrance porch, the solid oak front door opens to reveal a magnificent and spacious reception hallway, featuring exposed solid oak beams and intrecut timber framework. The inclusion of an all-essential cloakroom and downstairs WC, also features, as do a very useful deep cloaks and storage cupboard. The centrally located hallway connects the entire accommodation and features a focal solid oak half-turn staircase, which rises to a fabulous, gallery landing with vaulted ceilings, Velux roof light and exposed timber beams. The entire living space is of a bespoke design, providing truly spacious and naturally bright accommodation, enhanced by finger latch solid oak doors and oak framed double glazed windows throughout.

A most impressive living room, which is located to the rear, is very much reminiscent of a manor house style. Exposed oak beams and posts are perhaps overshadowed by the most spectacular, bespoke hand crafted brick open inglenook fireplace. French doors to one side, open to a bright quadrant-shaped sunroom, which affords open views and access to the mature surrounding private gardens. The neighbouring formal dining room, provides the perfect space for both entertaining and large family gatherings.
