Blakelow Road, Macclesfield

A superb example of late Victorian architecture and design is apparent in the appearance to the market of this wonderful family home. Nestling in an elevated position in the hills to the east of Macclesfield, the views are quite spectacular, overlooking the skyline of the town centre and the Cheshire countryside beyond. The property oozes character and charm with many original features that seamlessly blend so well with more modern conveniences resulting in a most sublime family residence.

This elegant property has evolved over the years to now provide highly flexible accommodation to suit the most discerning of purchasers. From the useful cellar room to the expansive attic space, there is ample accommodation in between which can provide the warmth and space for a growing family to be together, yet with many rooms, the ability to disappear and have tranquillity to work or relax and enjoy the sweeping, far-reaching views.

The property is warmed by gas-fired central heating, complemented by double-glazed sash windows.

Externally the property is equally impressive with a double-width driveway to the front which provides parking and access to an enormous 33' x 22' garage. The rear gardens are nothing short of fabulous as there is a vast array of patios and decked areas to enjoy the best of the sunshine at various points throughout the day, and a wealth of mature beds and borders stocked full of attractive shrubs, bushes and trees.

All in all this Victorian home offers a rare combination of period charm, modern living and outdoor space making it an idyllic retreat yet still within easy reach of the town centre and transport links.
