Atkinson Drive, Macclesfield, SK10

Tucked away in a quiet and rather privelidged position within a small development of recently constructed homes on the former Kings School playing fields, known as The Kings Quarter; this attractive detached family home provides spacious and well planned accommodation, finished to a high specification.

The property occupies one of the premium plots on a quiet edge of the development, benefitting a lovely open aspect adjacent to the stunning Bollin Valley Way. 

This is a perfect location for the whole family. Popular primary and secondary schools lie within easy walking distance, as do the town centre, with its eclectic mix of shopping, dining, and host of other amenities. Macclesfield's mainline Manchester Piccadilly [23 minutes] to London Euston [1.45 hours] train staion can be reached on foot in less than 15 minutes. The Bollin Valley Way lies on the doorstep - a 25 mile recreational walkway starting here and ending in Partington, after passing Prestbury and further afield, Manchester airport. The Middlewood Way, a former railway line, offers walkers, joggers and cyclists the opportunity to enjoy some of the best scenery and views along the course of its 11 mile length. This stunning pathway can be accessed in under ten minutes and connects Macclesfield to Bollington, Adlington and Poynton before finishing some 11 miles distant in Marple. Running almost directly alongside the Middlewood Way, Macclesfield's beautiful canal towpaths offer the indulgence of some quality peace and tranquility, and the ability to travel outward via one route, and return by another.

Number 17 Atkinson Way is a thoughtfully designed and well specified home. The two-storey accommodation is perfectly balanced, matching great sized living space to the ground floor with roomy bedrooms and the benefit of two bath/shower rooms to the first floor - ideal for those busy family periods where timing efficiency is all important.

The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully designed to incorporate a welcoming reception hallway which provides a perfect separation of the two main family living areas, as well as providing cloaks and storage space. The hallway incorporates convenient internal access to the integral garage - an ideal space for family storage, or having the possible potential to convert to further living acommodation [subject to any necessary consents and building approvals being sought & granted]. 

From the hallway, and located to the front of the property, an incredibly roomy, and yet snug bay-fronted lounge, provides a perfect environment for combined family living, larger gatherings, or perhaps a more formal reception room, favoured by the creation of designing a more informal family and entertaining hub around the spacious diner kitchen, located to the rear of the property.

The forementioned diner kitchen, offers great flexibility of use due to this fabulous space running almost the entire length of the rear elevation in a highly popular open plan design. The kitchen features a contemporary-style of dove grey finished kitchen cabinets, which offer great storage, whilst also incorporating a comprehensive range of integrated kitchen appliances. This living space is naturally bright due to the southerly aspect, and is served by two sets of French doors which amplify natural light to this particular area, as well as opening to the rear garden for al freso dining or entertaining during those lovely summer days and evenings. The dining area provides ample space to accommodate large gatherings to dine, or the flexibility to create a perfect family snug alongside the convenience of the kitchen area.

A separated area facilitates a handy utility room, allowing the kitchen to be free of laundry equipment and washing duties to be confined to an entirely separate space. A most necessary family facility, a downstairs WC; is provided for and located to the rear of the utility room - ideal for family and guests, whilst also located in close proximity to the outdoor garden space.

From the hallway, a staircase rises to the first floor gallery-style landing - this is a spacious area that is central to all the first floor rooms and incorporates a handy laundry and airing cupboard, along with access to good loft storage space.

The master bedroom offers great space and includes integrated wardrobes with good hanging and clothes/shoe storage. An ensuite facility incorporates a luxurious oversized walk-in shower, and is presented in a fabulous contemporary finish.

Three larger than expected bedrooms provide more than enough space for larger sized families, or offer perfect work from home office space for those requiring such. The main bathroom incorporates a bath and shower, which are served by the main heating system. 

Moving to the outside; the rear garden benefits a southerly aspect, allowing sun to embrace the garden for the majority of the day. For sun worshipers, this orientation will prove perfect! As previously mentioned, the garden is accessed from the diner kitchen via two sets of French doors - ideal for entertaining, whilst also convenient for family and guests to access the close proximity of the downstairs WC facility, without the need to walk through the main accommodation to do so. The garden also has access to the front of the property externally, however, the garden boundaries can be secured for the wellbeing and security of children and pets. The main garden area is laid with lawn, perfect for children to play, whilst to the immedite rear of the kitchen diner, a spacious flagged patio provides ample space to entertain or simply relax. The boundaries are fully enclosed by a combination of sectional fencing & brick walls. To the front, there is a small lawn area, whilst a double width driveway provides convenient access to parking for two vehicles. The front aspect is most pleasant as it overlooks open land. Atkinson Drive is  not a main throughfare, therefore is a quieter environment, especially for older children to enjoy the green expanses of communal space this particular area provides.

To encompass this opportunity; this is a perfect location for busy families who wish to benefit from a highly convenient, but yet, quiet location. This is very much a fringe of town location with all the conveniences this offers, however, and quiet rarely, this is also an environment shared with open parkland and green leafy spaces - possibly hard to replicate? The development is just five years old and is still covered by the developers 10 year building warranty (we advise exact details are confirmed by interested parties legal representitive] This should prove ideal for those searching for a home with lower maintenance and running costs.
