Princess Street, Bollington, Macclesfield, SK10

Characterful Two-Bedroom Cottage in the Heart of Bollington

A charming two-bedroom cottage with period character, generous living accommodation and a host of useful modern improvements, ideally situated on the ever-popular Princess Street in Bollington. This welcoming cottage combines the character and atmosphere of a traditional Bollington home with thoughtful modern updates. From the attractive red-brick frontage and feature composite entrance door to the cosy sitting room with Stovax wood-burning stove, the property has a warmth and individuality that is immediately apparent. The property has benefited from some excellent recent enhancements, such as the replacement of all the external doors and windows, new gas boiler, flat roof recovered and chimney flashings replaced; giving peace of mind to any purchaser.

Bollington, often affectionately known as the “Happy Valley”, offers an enviable combination of village life and beautiful countryside. Independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants are close at hand, while the canal, River Dean, Middlewood Way and surrounding hills provide excellent opportunities for walking and cycling. Macclesfield is only a few miles away, with Manchester and the wider North West accessible for commuters.

Lounge

The inviting sitting room is a particularly cosy space, centred around a Stovax wood-burning stove that provides a natural focal point and adds to the cottage's character. Herringbone flooring complements the traditional feel of the room while adding a contemporary finish. It is a comfortable and versatile space, equally suited to quiet evenings by the fire or entertaining friends and family.

Kitchen/Diner

The kitchen/diner forms the heart of the home, combining traditional cottage character with practical modern features. Wooden cabinetry, neutral tones, crisp white quartz worktops and feature tiling create a warm and welcoming space. The kitchen includes a traditional Belfast sink, Stoves range cooker with gas hob, Hisense fridge and freezer, Beko dishwasher and integrated Candy washing machine. There is a useful breakfast bar, while the adjoining dining area benefits from a large window overlooking the outdoor space beyond. A corner pull-out carousel provides additional storage, complemented by an understairs cupboard. The herringbone flooring continues through the space, while subtle lighting beneath the wall cabinets adds a modern touch.

Bedroom One

A peaceful and well-presented double bedroom with soft lavender tones, white trim and excellent natural light. The triple-glazed window provides views towards the surrounding hills, adding to the sense of space and tranquillity.

Bedroom Two

A versatile second bedroom currently incorporating a useful workspace. The room has a warm and characterful feel, with views across the rooftops and beyond. It would make an excellent second bedroom, home office, guest room or flexible additional living space.

Bathroom

The unusually generous bathroom provides considerably more space than is often found in a cottage of this type. The room features a bath with shower over, pedestal wash basin and contemporary fittings, with neutral tiling and light wood-effect flooring creating a clean and understated finish. A large, frosted window provides natural light while maintaining privacy.

Attic

A particularly useful feature of the property is the generous attic space. The attic is fully boarded, insulated and lit, with fixed access, providing substantial dry storage and helping to keep the living areas uncluttered.

Outside

To the rear is a characterful courtyard which is shared in use with the adjoining property. Providing an attractive space for seating, plants and outdoor relaxation. Two built-in storage areas are for the exclusive use of the property and provide useful additional storage for garden equipment, outdoor furniture and seasonal items.

Parking

There is no allocated private parking. On-street parking is available on Princess Street, with additional public car parking nearby.

Location

Princess Street is ideally positioned for enjoying everything that makes Bollington so popular. The village centre, independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants are within approximately a five-minute walk, while the surrounding countryside provides a wealth of walking and cycling opportunities. The nearby canal and Middlewood Way offer particularly popular routes for enjoying the outdoors, while the surrounding hills and White Nancy provide some of the area's most distinctive scenery.
