207 Park Lane, Macclesfield, SK11

Park Lane connects the town centre to both the south and west of the centre, and as the name suggests, it almost directly passes the largest public park in the town, South Park. Opened in 1922, South Park extends to an impressive 44 acres of open rolling parkland and boasts an extensive choice of leisure and sporting activities for all to enjoy.

The immediate neighbourhood has historically proved an extremely popular area to reside, especially so with families, due to the fabulous choice of good schools that surround this particular area of the town. Not only are there great schools right on the doorstep, but so is Macclesfield College, the town centre, mainline Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston railway station, and of course, the town's biggest park.

So, that's a quick overview of the great location of this most deceptive, garden-fronted and bay-windowed Victorian villa home, which could be more accurately described as a Tardis; boasting four stories of accommodation, that extend to an impressive eight separate rooms. This amazing space offers the flexibility to utilise as required, perhaps to create a home office/offices, bedrooms, or maybe a studio or some gym space. Further to all these individual rooms, there also features a recently installed island-style kitchen, utility & downstairs WC, and a family bathroom.

The property is set back from Park Lane behind a small enclosed garden with brick wall boundaries surmounted by stone copings and attractive wrought iron railings - Handsome stone pillars bear original coping stones with carved lettering 'Prestbury Villas'.

The accommodation is accessed via a rather grand reception hallway which features high decorative plaster cornice ceilings and ornate wall corbels. The bay-fronted reception room is presently utilised as a living room, and again retains all the original decorative plaster ceilings and deep skirting boards, a testament to the grand architecture of this fabulous period. The separate dining room neighbours the front reception room and features a useful chimney recessed storage cupboard, along with the high plaster moulded volume ceilings.

The kitchen has been totally transformed in recent times and contrasts to perfect effect an eclectic mix of contemporary flair and period style. A comprehensively fitted high-gloss island-style kitchen has become the new central hub of the family home, and adjoins a separate laundry room and a very handy downstairs WC and cloakroom.

Accessed from the hallway, a flight of stairs takes you down to a roomy converted basement, which is presently utilised as a double bedroom. This is a great addition to the overall living space and could easily be adapted to serve a number of other uses.

Back to the reception hallway, the original period staircase leads to a split-level gallery landing, where two double bedrooms, along with a further single bedroom or office, are accompanied by a recently refurbished, contemporary-designed family bathroom, complete with bath and monsoon rainfall shower feature.

From the first floor landing, an original half-turn staircase accesses the second floor, to reveal a double-sized attic room which is presently used as a guest bedroom.

The property benefits from energy-efficient and virtually maintenance-free PVCu double glazed windows, whilst the accommodation is heated by a gas combination boiler, which serves both the hot water supply and central heating.

Ready to move straight in, the internal presentation is excellent, without the immediate requirement to do any more than add your personal touch - ideal for those searching for a home 'good to go'.

Accessed from the kitchen, whilst also served by a gate to a rear resident's pathway, the rear cottage-style garden is fully enclosed and offers fabulous privacy and a calm environment for entertaining, or simply chilling and enjoying some downtime. The garden area is ideal for those who prefer time relaxing, rather than maintaining a larger garden - after all, 44 acres of manicured gardens are available almost right outside the front door!

Viewing appointments are highly advised at your convenience, and are deemed as essential in order to fully appreciate the amount of accommodation available in this truly deceptive family home.
