Buxton New Road, Macclesfield

Enjoying spectacular views towards the Peak District National Park and nestled upon a glorious rural plot of approximately 0.25 of an acre (to be confirmed) stands Gritstone Cottage. The stone and block-built building with pitched slate roof, originally built as a double garage/outhouse, was granted planning permission in 2018 to be converted into a dwelling (ref 18/4766M) and just recently has also been granted planning permission to add a side extension to the building and to erect a detached garage (Ref 23/3344M). The property is accessed via a gated driveway and has lush green garden space, which adjoins open fields to one side and the garden area of the neighbouring property to the other. Gritstone Cottage is located directly off Buxton New Road, approximately three miles out of Macclesfield town centre and just over nine miles from Buxton. The area is literally a gateway to miles of open countryside, including; Teggs Nose Country Park, Macclesfield Forest and Lamaload Reservoir which are all within close proximity. The villages of Rainow, Langley and Sutton are also close-by. The property will suit those buyers looking to create something rather special in a rural area and who would be willing and able to take on the necessary works to transform and extend the current building into a bespoke dwelling. Given the nature of the works required we are seeking buyers without the requirement for a mortgage. Please take time to digest all of the information relating to the planning permissions (accessed via the planning portal of Cheshire East) and have a drive by the property before requesting a viewing. Buyers are advised to ask their solicitors to check the legal status of any services currently supplied to the cottage and/or the legal implications of supplying any in the future. The property has a current Council Tax Assessment of Band A.
