Blakelow Road, Macclesfield, SK11 7EH

Nestled off a quiet lane and set back from passing traffic, this unique detached dormer bungalow, dating from 1927, offers a rare combination of tranquillity and convenience in one of Macclesfield’s most sought after locations: Blakelow Road.

Set between just two or three other detached homes, it affords privacy while remaining within easy reach of the Macclesfield train station and the surrounding countryside — Teggs Nose, Rainow and the canal are all practically on your doorstep.

The current owners have lived here since 1996 and in 2004, undertook a careful reconfiguration and remodelling (with full building regulations sign off). All walls were taken back to brick, replastered, a new top floor bedroom and bathroom installed, and new windows fitted throughout. Since then, the house has continued to evolve: a remodelled kitchen; a conservatory/garden room added in 2014; a shower room refurbished in 2020; upstairs bathroom redone in 2022; and a fresh external repaint and new carpets (lounge, hall, stairs, conservatory) in 2025.

On arrival you are greeted by a hardstanding driveway from the small track leading up to the house. Enter via the porch into a snug and cosy lounge featuring a log burning stove — perfect for those cooler evenings. To your left lies the first ground floor bedroom, and ahead is an inner hallway leading to the modern shower room (refurbished 2020). Also off this hallway is a room currently used as a formal dining room, which could readily serve as a second ground floor bedroom or even a guest or nursery bedroom, depending on your needs.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodelled in 2016; thanks to two skylights, it is bright and airy, and boasts clever built in storage and fitted appliances (new oven 2025). At the rear is a stunning glass conservatory, centrally heated to allow year round enjoyment of the garden views.

Upstairs, the first floor opens onto a generous double bedroom with extensive storage and a fabulous bathroom with a roll top bath. An airing cupboard on the landing houses the Worcester combi boiler (installed 2016, serviced annually). The upstairs scheme, as with the rest of the house, is beautifully presented and shows the care and investment the current owners have undertaken on the property.

Outside, the garden is a true haven. Mature beds and borders, multiple places to sit in privacy, decking, patio, space for a hot tub, and a pond supporting wildlife create a peaceful retreat. A substantial summer house—equipped with power—offers ideal space for working from home or artist’s studio. Functional outbuildings, including a metal shed and greenhouse, add useful practicality. This house is a true gem with its quality of finish, character, and prime location making it a compelling and rare opportunity.
