Originally constructed as two individual weavers cottages, this unusual historic home features spacious, and yet rather quirky accommodation over two storeys.

The two cottages were adjoined many years ago and still retain their two front doors, numbered 17 and 19.

Located in a quiet backwater, just to the south of the town centre; Pitt Street is conveniently situated for easy walking access to both the town, as well as Macclesfield's mainline railway station connecting Manchester Piccadilly (23 minutes) & London Euston (1.45 hours).

The accommodation layout is unusual, in the fact that it is divided to the ground floor by a ginnel passagway, resulting in the two ground floor reception rooms being connected from the first floor - this provides an ideal opportunity to utilise one room as a peaceful work from home office, perfect for those searching for home working space. This space is also served by its own front door; ideal for face to face meetings perhaps? For those with an older child, the availability of a second reception room that connects directly to the first floor and bathroom, has the potential to be utilised as a third bedroom option.

Entering the front door of number 17, a cosy cottage-style living room retains the original chimney breast, which incorporates a focal period-style fireplace. Neighbouring the kitchen, a contemporary-style fitted kitchen benefits integrated cooking appliances, whilst featuring an unusual stable door which opens to the rear courtyard. A staircase from the kitchen rises to the first floor landing; here, two generous-sized double bedrooms provide above average bedroom space. The master bedroom stretches over both properties, as well as the ginnel. The bedrooms are served by an incredibly spacious bathroom, which offers the space of a further double-sized bedroom. A second staircase descends from the landing to the original reception room of number 17. This space offers a wide & flexible choice of uses, and like the previously mentioned reception room, retains not only the chimney breast, but also the fabulous historic feature of a 150 year old weavers cottage cast iron range cooker. This second former living room space of number 19 still features its own front door, meaning the space can be accessed independently.

To the rear of the property there is a very spacious south-westerly facing flagged courtyard. The courtyard is shared by a few neighbouring properties, however, each benefits more than enough space directly behind, to enjoy individually.

The accommodation is served by a gas combination boiler, which effectively heats both the hot water and central heating system. Windows and doors are double glazed and of PVC frames and composite materials, making upkeep almost maintenance free.

This super home offers some very unique features and will appeal to a wide audience - ideal for first time home owners, downsizers, as well as those looking for a great rental proposition that is conveniently located close to all the towns amenities.
