Alderley Road, Prestbury, Macclesfield

Set on the outskirts of Macclesfield with open views across fields to the front of the house, within easy reach of Prestbury village and particularly well placed for a choice of local schools, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a lovely balance of space, character and a more contemporary open-plan layout at the rear.

There is more to the house than you might initially expect from the front. Over the years the ground floor has been extended and opened up to create a generous dining kitchen and family space overlooking the garden, while still retaining a separate living room at the front. You also have a utility room, downstairs WC, three bedrooms and a modern four-piece bathroom, along with air source heating.

You enter through a small hallway with the stairs rising to the first floor. The living room sits at the front of the house and has a warmer, more traditional feel, with exposed timber ceiling beams and an open fire providing a natural focal point. It is a comfortable separate room away from the more open-plan accommodation beyond.

At the back of the house, the extended dining kitchen is where much of family life is likely to happen. Measuring over 18ft at its longest point, there is plenty of room to cook, eat and sit together without everything feeling crowded. The kitchen has a modern range of handleless units with wood-effect work surfaces, integrated oven and microwave and a central island incorporating the induction hob, as well as space for seating.

The extension has made a real difference to this part of the house. Two skylights bring additional natural light from above, while the wide glazed doors across the rear open directly onto the decked seating area and garden beyond. During the warmer months, you can open everything up and allow the inside and outside spaces to flow together particularly well.

Just off the kitchen is a separate utility room, providing additional storage and washing facilities without taking up space in the main kitchen, together with an external door to the side. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a good-sized double at the front of the house, with the second bedroom overlooking the rear garden towards the cricket green and playing fields of The King’s School. The third bedroom is smaller but still offers useful additional accommodation and would work nicely as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office. The family bathroom has been updated with a modern four-piece suite, including both a freestanding bath and separate corner shower.

Outside, the house is set back from Alderley Road behind mature hedging, with a shared driveway leading to a gravelled parking area providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles.

The rear garden is a particularly lovely part of the home and feels surprisingly private considering how convenient the location is. A decked seating area immediately outside the kitchen gives you plenty of room for outdoor furniture, with steps leading down into an established garden with raised beds and a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees. There is plenty here for anyone who enjoys gardening, while still offering space for children to enjoy being outside.

With no property immediately behind and the garden backing onto the cricket green and playing fields of The King’s School, you also benefit from a much more open outlook to the rear.

The location works particularly well if you want to be close to Macclesfield without being right in the centre of town. Prestbury village is only a short journey away, while Macclesfield town centre, its amenities and railway station are all easily accessible. For families, you are particularly well placed for a number of local schools, with The King’s School close by, along with Fallibroome Academy, Upton Priory School and Prestbury Church of England Primary School.

Altogether, this is a welcoming and individual family home that gives you a separate cosy living room when you want it, a bright and sociable kitchen and family space when everyone is together, plenty of parking and an established garden with a lovely open outlook to the rear.
