Situated in a quiet location on the fringe of Macclesfield town centre, The Towers, as the name may suggest, forms a central feature of the former Parkside hospital designed by Robert Griffiths in an Italianate style, and opened in 1871. The original clock tower remains as the focal point of the development.

After many years of neglect during the 1980's and 1990's, the Grade 2 listed buildings were acquired just before the Millennium by respected residential builders, Jones Homes, who also developed much of the extensive grounds into housing.

The main hospital buildings were skilfully and sympathetically converted into individually designed apartments. Today, 'The Pavilions' combines The Towers with a number of handsome period buildings from the same Victorian era.

Stunning landscaped gardens surround the entire development, manicured and tendered and offering a peaceful and tranquil environment for the privileged residents. The development is managed by Jones Home's managing arm, Emmerson Management Services, who maintain the communal areas and grounds with pride.

Regular bus services run from neighbouring Victoria Road to the town centre and beyond. The town centre can be reached by foot in approximately twenty minutes, and by car, in five. Macclesfield's replacement Hospital was relocated, conveniently, just a ten minute walk away. A choice of popular primary and secondary schools are located within either walking distance or a very short drive. A play area is also located close by.

26, The Towers, is a truly spacious first floor apartment, boasting two double-sized bedrooms, a very roomy lounge and open plan dining or reading space, a most spacious separate fitted diner kitchen, a modern bathroom, and the rarity of a private balcony.

The apartment offers great space with the benefit of good natural light and lots of architectural period character - decorative plaster ceiling cornices and roses, enormous oak beams, sash windows and oak flooring, to mention a few. The accommodation is warmed

The communal reception hallway retains the original opulent Victoriana of a grand entrance, with extravagant artisan-crafted glasswork, decorative dado rails, intricate detailed ceiling plasterwork, bespoke crafted period-style radiator covers and stunning Minton tiling to the entrance reception area. The internal corridors and stairs within the communal areas, are very well maintained, featuring luxury carpeting underfoot and a presentation close to hotel standards.

The grounds, as briefly touched upon, are extensive and landscaped to a very high standard. The outside environment is leafy and calm. Allocated private parking is provided for all the residents, as are further allocated guest spaces.

Due to a job relocation in the south, this is a reluctant sale and now becomes a fabulous opportunity to secure a truly spacious apartment, located in a quiet but convenient location and within walking distance of the vibrant town centre. Ideally, this lovely character home will perfectly suit a first time buyer or perhaps a practical downsize.
