Dale Street, Macclesfield, SK10

A simply stunning Victorian/Edwardian-era home that not only retains huge character and original features but also mixes this classic period architecture with ultra-contemporary flair to deliver an eclectic mix of truly opulent style - a truly stunning home.

Dale Street is a quiet location, tucked away just behind Buxton Road and within a stones throw of Victoria Park and the town centre. This east side of the town has become hugely popular over the past few years and a favoured location with those looking to be within easy walking distance of the town centre but also on the fringe of the Peak hills and canal. The demographical change in population of this particular area is evident by the recent establishment of trendy artisan enterprises that have sprung up in the small parade of shops by the canal - Yas Bean, Tommy's Bar & Pizza, Nomad and Early Bird Bakes, all have a loyal following and have proved highly popular with residents and visitors alike.

The area has a great diversity of architecture and style and for lovers of the outdoors, this is really the place to be. Macclesfield canal and its winding towpaths provide an almost immediate and magical escape from the daily grind. Peaceful walks can take you as far as you fancy - to the north; the villages of Kerridge, Bollington and Adlington can be reached in no time, whilst further afield, Marple lies around 11 miles distant. Walk one way by canal and return via the 11 mile former railway line, The Middlewood Way which runs alongside the canal. To the south; Sutton, Langley; Bosley and then further distant, Congleton and Scholars Green, are all walkable. The Peak District National Park can also be accessed directly from this side of the tow

Number 44 Dale Street's accommodation can only be described as deceptive. The kerb appeal could hardly be improved, featuring a pretty garden frontage and a façade that retains stained glass features, plantation shutters, and a classic period front door with antique brass door furniture - a perfect first impression and a strong hint as to what will likely lie within..

The accommodation features two good sized bedrooms, as well as the addition of a converted attic room which is currently utilised as an occassional home office working space. On crossing the threshold, a stunning reception hallway features high ceilings, deep skirting boards, decorative dado rails, classic Minton-style floor tiling, as well as an incredible ornately-cast iron radiator. An original antique pine door opens to the stunning stained glass bay-fronted living room, complete with original chimney breast and open-grate fireplace. The open-plan living room flows through to the adjoining dining room which is currently utilised as one huge living space. This space also retains the chimney breast, however, now incorporates a fabulous cast iron woodburner - perfect for cosy winter days and evenings. To the far rear, the extended dining kitchen is delightful. Fitted with a comprehensive range of classic dove grey farmhouse cabinets, the kitchen also benefits a full range of integrated appliances, to include a magnificent Aga-style range cooker. To the far rear of the kitchen, an extended dining area enjoys Velux skylight windows and French doors that open to the beautiful south-facing rear garden.

Moving to the first floor; a gallery landing provides access to a full-width master double bedroom and a slightly smaller second bedroom with the added benefit of a deep walk-in wardrobe and store. The luxury period-style main bathroom features a high chain-flush cistern WC, four-claw roll top freestanding bath, and even retains the original chimney breast and cast iron fireplace to fabulous period effect. Neighbouring the bathroom, a contrasting contemporary-style shower room and WC offers the privileged choice of bath or shower! 

From the landing, a door opens to reveal a staircase that rises to the converted attic space, which as previously mentioned, is currently utilised as a home office by the owners.

Accessed from the dining room, kitchen and also via a rear garden gate, the rear garden is simply delightful. The garden is mature and fully landscaped; stocked with a variety of plants, bushes, shrubs and young trees. The borders are fully enclosed, making this a perfect environment for children or pets to play and explore. The garden is south-facing and as such, perfect for sun worshippers.

This fabulous home really does offer so much and will prove ideal for a couple, or those with a small family. The character and charm here really must be viewed to be fully appreciated - just bring your belongings and move straight in!
