Beech Farm Drive, Macclesfield, SK10

Situated in a highly convenient location for accessing the town centre and railway station, this spacious three-storey townhouse home offers excellent value for money.

Beech Farm Drive is a quiet residential area nestled equidistant to, and almost neighbouring the fabulous Middlewood Way and Bollin Valley. These two peaceful countryside walking routes link Macclesfield to Marple and Prestbury respectively.

Macclesfield's vibrant town centre is conveniently located close by and can be reached by foot in under fifteen minutes. Popular schooling lies within easy reach, including neighbouring Tytherington secondary school, and further distant Marlborough Primary. 

Number 80 Beech Farm Drive was a modern design of living originally conceived in the late 1960's as a radical shake-up of earlier traditional two-storey accommodation. The real advantage of three-storey construction is the obvious increase in the living space that this extra floor creates. 

The ground floor provided the fabulous convenience and practicality of a huge integral garage and workshop area, in an era where proud car owners parked their vehicles under cover, whilst at the same time having the ability to enter the living space from the convenience of actually being able to park in the home! Garages and all important workshop space were only accessible externally before this radical shake-up in architectural design. The relevance today is simply the provision of a vast amount of floor space to potentially create even more flexible use living accommodation [subject to any consents that may be required to permit alteration], whilst retaining an element of useful storage space.

The ground floor presently retains the original garage floorplan, which sees the garage extend the entire length of the property and includes door access to the rear garden and reception hallway. This space could be enhanced and redeveloped to provide two spacious rooms - possibly a ground floor bedroom, as the hallway currently benefits a downstairs WC facility which has the potential to be utilised as an en-suite shower room. Other conversions could include a home office, gym, studio, utility room, or a combination of any two potentially.

The location of the main living space to the first floor benefits lovely views to the rear from an elevated vantage point. A full-width open-plan dining kitchen offers great potential and lots of cooking and cabinet storage space; as well as providing practical room for informal dining. The kitchen area boasts lovely views over the south-facing rear garden and neighbouring open playing fields. Situated to the front of the first floor accommodation, a roomy living room benefits full-width windows which allow lots of natural light to flow through this great space.

From the first floor landing, a staircase leads to the second floor where three good bedrooms and a bathroom are provided. The bedrooms enjoy further-extended hill and countryside views from this elevated position.

To the rear of the property, there is a lovely lawn-laid garden which benefits a sunny south-facing orientation, along with a lovely private aspect over the river Bollin and open school sports fields as a backdrop. To the front, there is a small lawn garden and a private driveway, which provides ample parking, whilst leading to an integral double-length garage.

Offering deceptive living space, this is a perfect opportunity for a new owner to cosmetically improve the accommodation whilst potentially adding further value by doing so.

Flexible viewing appointments both within and outside of working hours are welcomed by the sole estate agent, Simeon Rains in association with The Good Estate Agent Macclesfield. Our Macclesfield offices are conveniently located directly opposite the railway station at 52 Waters Green, SK11 6JT.
