Westbrook Drive, Macclesfield, SK10

Tucked away in a peaceful environment, just off highly popular Westminster Road area of Macclesfield, this traditional semi-detached home benefits extended accommodation and a simply wonderful garden with an open woodland backdrop.

This particular area has historically proved popular due to the close proximity to all the amenities the town has to offer. The location is quiet, especially considering the town centre can be reached in just over five minutes by foot. West Park, the Bollin Valley and the Middlewood Way, are all within easy walking distance too, making this a perfect location for those keen on exercise, or with dogs to walk. For those needing to commute, Macclesfield's mainline Manchester Piccadilly [23 minutes] to London Euston [1 hour & 50 minutes] railway station, can be reached by foot in a little over ten minutes. A Sainsburys Superstore is conveniently located just a five minute walk away, whilst a choice of popular primary and secondary schools also lie within easy walking distance.

Westbrook Drive is a small and quiet neighbourhood, predominately occupied by 1930s-era semi-detached homes which neighbour the towns second largest park, the 15 acre West Park. Number 47 is a handsome family home, architecturally wonderfully art deco-era inspired and thankfully still retaining much of the original period charm.

The original floorplan has been adapted and enlarged in recent times, in order to reflect a more modern living style. The ground floor retains its welcoming reception hallway and separated bay-fronted lounge, however, the original dining room located to the rear of the accommodation now adjoins the extended kitchen to create a far more usable and versatile, open plan living space. The kitchen is of clean and contemporary lines, featuring a comprehensive range of high-gloss fitted cabinets and a range of integrated appliances. The dining area provides adaptable space for either dining, or perhaps to create a cosy family snug. 

To the first floor, there are three bedrooms, with the bay windowed master bedroom featuring Hammonds bespoke crafted wardrobes. The family bathroom was completely remodelled in a contemporary style in 2022 and features a bath with monsoon rainfall shower and stunning porcelain tiling.

The present owners recently gained successful planning consent for the addition of a further kitchen extension, to enable the creation of a further expansive open plan kitchen, dining area, utility room, downstairs WC and family snug area. A second floor hip-to-gable loft conversion has also been approved and has been designed as a studio office, although this could be utilised as a further bedroom or alternative. Planning link: 

The separate bay-fronted lounge retains the original chimney breast which now incorporates a fabulous cast iron woodburner, making this character room a snug and cosy place to relax and enjoy during those colder months of the year.

The rear split-level gardens are without doubt the jewel in the crown here. With a backdrop of mature woodland and open parkland, the gardens are totally unexpected for such a close to town location and will serve as a glorious area to relax, entertain, or simply for children and pets to play and explore. A useful garden store provides space for bicycles and other items. The area to the front of the property remains as a garden as it was originally designed - the majority of neighbouring residents have converted their front gardens into driveways, and this is of course a possibility to replicate, if so desired. 

For those searching for a home to move straight into without the need to carry out renovation improvements, this home with certainly prove of interest. The accommodation is well presented throughout and is ready for new owners to just move in, unpack and  add their own personal stamp.

Viewing appointments are of course welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate all on offer - in the first instance, please direct all interest and any queries to the sole selling estate agent, Simeon Rains in association with The Good Estate Agent Macclesfield.
