Lord Street, with its rich variety of period architecture and close proximity to the town centre, has historically proved highly popular as a residential location.

The immediate neighbourhood surrounding Lord Street falls under East Cheshire's conservation scheme, with a number of properties noted as particular merit. The architecture is an eclectic mix of rather opulent Regency, Edwardian and Victorian-era homes, once owned and occupied by affluent local business proprietors, professionals and senior management. Almost rubbing shoulders, the more humble workers cottages and mixed use weavers cottages. Grand chapels and railed leafy parks, contrasted with the sprawling and slightly distant silk and cotton weaving mills.

Divided centrally by the equally characterful Chapel Street, today Lord Street is surprisingly a story of two most contrasting locations.

Stretching from Park Lane in the farthest northerly point, and severed at its junction with Chapel Street, Lord Street continues in a southernly direction directly to the rear of Chapel Street.

The Park Lane end of Lord Street is lined either side with character Victorian-era cottages and three-storey weaver-workers townhouses. In complete contrast, the southerly-side mainly comprises modern-era interpretations of traditional weaver cottage-style homes.

Macclesfield's vibrant town centre and mainline Manchester Piccadilly (23 minutes) to London Euston (1.45 hours) railway station, can easily be reached by foot in approximately ten minutes, whilst local convenience stores and other nearby amenities, lie virtually on the doorstep.

Moving now to the actual property, number 65 Lord Street is a rather handsome, visually-appealing and tall-standing home of red brick elevations surmounted by a slate-covered pitched roof. Period architectural features include carved sandstone lintels, mock Georgian-style sash windows and attractive front doors, all contributing to retain the areas character, whilst very much in-keeping with the conservation status of this designated area.

This is, without doubt, a perfectly positioned proposition, a property quietly tucked away in a leafy, and almost traffic-free, no through road.

With climbing Wisteria adorning the façade, first impressions appear the property is more akin to a cottage than a relatively modern townhouse.

The accommodation stretches over three well-planned floors, this is an ideally suited home for a couple, small family or a fabulously spacious proposition for a single occupier who requires home working space, perhaps.

From entering the property via the front door, a welcoming reception hallway with an open plan staircase, leads to a useful laundry area located to the rear and directly accessing the back door to the garden for the drying and airing of washing.

The previously mentioned staircase from the hallway, rises to the first floor accommodation. Here, a cosy lounge with a leafy courtyard view and a feature antique pine fireplace, allows ample space to relax or entertain.

Neighbouring the lounge, a fully fitted kitchen makes food preparation and serving to the lounge and dining area, a practical and convenient process. Washing up duties can be lightened by the fabulous elevated views this front-facing kitchen enjoys.

A staircase from the first floor hallway leads to the second floor landing where two double-sized bedrooms shall be found. The front bedroom benefits privileged, elevated hillside views over neighbouring lower-lying rooftops.

Accessed internally from the laundry room, as previously touched-upon, the back door opens to a small and easily managed private garden area, whilst a tarmac-laid driveway provides private parking in front of a very useful integral garage. Further unrestricted street parking is available along the length of Lord Street.

Warmed throughout by a Worcester gas combination boiler which serves both the central heating and hot water supply, the property also features PVC double glazing for effective energy and acoustic insulation.

This property benefits a freehold title and a low council tax banding of 'B'.

Viewing appointments are highly advised, in order to fully appreciate this great hidden location, practical accommodation layout and superb elevated views. Please contact the sole selling estate agent, Simeon Rains in association with The Good Estate Agent Macclesfield.
