Robin Lane, Lyme Green, Macclesfield

There’s something quietly comforting about a 1930s semi. The bay windows, the symmetry, the way the house sits back from the road with a steady confidence that hasn’t faded with time.

This home is positioned in the well-regarded village of Lyme Green, just to the south of Macclesfield and neighbouring the semi-rural village of Sutton. You’re close enough to town for everyday convenience, yet only moments from open countryside where walks lead out towards Sutton and beyond.

To the front, a driveway provides off-road parking alongside a lawned garden, with gated access through to the rear. You step through the front door, framed by glazed panels on either side, allowing natural light to filter into the entrance hallway. The staircase rises ahead of you and, neatly incorporated beneath it, is a downstairs WC — a practical and welcome addition.

The bay-fronted lounge at the front of the house feels bright and settled. The large window draws in plenty of light, and the wooden fire surround with tiled hearth gives the room warmth and character. It’s a comfortable space that feels equally suited to quiet evenings as it does to company.

Beyond this is a second reception room, currently arranged as a snug. It provides an additional sitting area and flows openly into the extended kitchen diner at the rear, creating a natural connection across the ground floor.

It’s here that the house really opens up.

The single-storey rear extension has created a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space designed around family life. The kitchen has been refitted with a contemporary range of wall and base units with contrasting worktops and integrated appliances, including a double oven, gas hob with extractor and dishwasher. There’s space for an American-style fridge freezer, ceiling Bluetooth speakers and a vertical anthracite radiator, giving the room a subtle modern edge. Sliding patio doors open directly onto the garden, allowing light to pour in and creating an easy sense of flow between inside and out.

Just off the kitchen sits a separate utility room with additional storage and space for laundry appliances, keeping the practical side of life neatly contained.

Upstairs, the proportions continue to feel generous. The main bedroom enjoys a bay window to the front, bringing both character and natural light. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden and is another comfortable double, while the third bedroom works well as a nursery or child’s bedroom.

The family bathroom has been updated in a clean, modern style, continuing the improvements made by the current owners.

Outside, the Westerly-facing rear garden is a real strength. Mainly laid to lawn and fully enclosed, it enjoys afternoon and evening sunshine. A paved patio provides space for outdoor dining, and at the far end of the garden sits a substantial breeze block-built outbuilding with power and lighting — ideal as a workshop, gym, hobby space or simply valuable additional storage.

The owners have significantly improved the property during their time here, including the installation of gas central heating along with the new kitchen and bathroom, so the house feels well cared for and ready to move straight into.

Lyme Green remains one of those locations people quietly wait for — a village setting adjoining some of Cheshire’s finest countryside, yet still within easy reach of Macclesfield’s amenities and transport links. Sutton is just along the road, Macclesfield Forest not far beyond, and everyday life feels nicely balanced between town and country.

If you’re looking for a 1930s home with character, extended ground floor living space and a sunny garden, in a setting that offers both village atmosphere and open countryside close by, this is a house that makes an immediate impression.
