Description

Hanging Gate is a distinctive sandstone residence with an interesting past, originally serving as a public house before being converted many years ago. Its history is still visible through character details such as exposed beams, stone fireplaces, timber panelling and deep-set windows, giving the building its unmistakable charm.

The versatile layout, including multiple reception rooms, a long farmhouse-style kitchen, utility areas, storerooms and a study. With so many rooms across both floors, the accommodation can be configured in a number of ways to suit the needs of larger families, multi-generational living, home offices or hobbies. Several rooms could easily be repurposed as additional bedrooms, playrooms, workspaces or snug areas, allowing the home to adapt to changing lifestyles.

While the home has clearly offered generous accommodation in the past, it is now in need of some internal improvements throughout. Many of its original features remain intact and ready to be revived, giving the next owner the chance to preserve its character while creating a standout family home or even exploring ancillary accommodation (subject to permissions).

The property sits in a rural yet highly accessible spot, enjoying open views and convenient access to Macclesfield, Leek and Congleton. For buyers searching for a unique character property with genuine scope to reconfigure, modernise and restore, Hanging Gate presents a rare opportunity and is offered to the market with NO UPWARD CHAIN.
