Lord Street, Macclesfield

Believed to date back to the early 1800s, this beautiful two double-bedroom Georgian-era redbrick terrace is full of period character, from its attractive traditional façade and elegant sliding sash windows to its ornate fireplaces, high ceilings and original architectural detailing. With a lease dating back to 1823, the property has a fascinating history and has been thoughtfully updated, retaining much of its original appeal while providing a comfortable and welcoming home. Set along Lord Street, within easy reach of Macclesfield town centre, the property has been thoughtfully updated. Combining its period features with a comfortable and welcoming interior.

The location is another part of the appeal. Macclesfield's independent shops, cafés, restaurants and bars are all within easy reach, along with the railway station, providing direct services to Manchester and London. You are also well placed for enjoying the surrounding Cheshire countryside and the Peak District, with plenty of lovely walks and places to explore nearby.

From the street, the handsome redbrick frontage, stone detailing and traditional arched doorway immediately catch your eye. Step inside and you are welcomed by an entrance hallway where the high ceilings, decorative archway, coving and wood-effect flooring give you a lovely introduction to the character of your home.

To the front is a cosy and inviting lounge, with a beautiful sliding sash window allowing plenty of natural light into the room. The ornate cast-iron fireplace, complete with decorative floral tiles and a tiled hearth, is a particularly lovely feature and creates a wonderful focal point. With its high ceiling and traditional detailing, this is a comfortable room to settle down and relax.

Moving through to the dining room, you will find another generously proportioned reception room, with plenty of space for a dining table and additional furniture. A feature fireplace, attractive flooring and a rear-facing sash window continue the period feel, making this a lovely space for enjoying meals together or entertaining friends. From here, there is also access to the cellar, which provides useful additional storage.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the house and has been beautifully updated with timeless Shaker-style cabinetry in a soft neutral finish, complemented by stone worktops, matching splashbacks and traditional cup handles. Despite its relatively compact proportions, the U-shaped arrangement makes excellent use of the available space, providing plenty of storage and worktop space. There is also an impressive selection of integrated appliances, including an induction hob, oven, microwave, slimline dishwasher, washer dryer and fridge freezer. A window provides natural light, while a glazed door opens directly onto the rear courtyard.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both retaining the lovely proportions and character you would expect from a property of this age. All accessed via a spacious split lever landing.

The main bedroom, positioned at the front, is particularly spacious and beautifully presented, with a large sliding sash window, high ceiling and plenty of room for a king-size bed and additional bedroom furniture. Fitted wardrobes have been neatly incorporated into the recesses, providing useful storage without compromising the generous floor space.

The second bedroom overlooks the rear and is another comfortable double room, offering flexibility whether you need a guest bedroom, space for family or somewhere to work from home.

Completing the first floor is a bathroom fitted with a white three-piece suite, including a panelled bath with an overhead shower and glazed screen. The white tiling gives the room a clean, understated finish, while natural light comes from both a traditional window and a roof window above. There is also access from the landing to a partially boarded loft with lighting, providing further storage space.

Outside, the property enjoys a delightful private courtyard garden, enclosed by traditional brick and stone-capped walls. The stone-flagged surface keeps maintenance to a minimum, while an established collection of potted plants, shrubs and greenery softens the surroundings and creates a lovely setting for sitting outside. There is room for garden furniture, making it an ideal spot for a morning coffee, a little gardening or simply enjoying some fresh air. A timber gate provides access to the shared rear pathway.

With its attractive redbrick exterior, beautiful period details, two generous double bedrooms and thoughtfully updated accommodation, this is a home with a lovely balance of character and comfort. Its convenient position close to Macclesfield town centre makes it particularly appealing, whether you are looking to take your first step onto the property ladder, downsize or find somewhere a little different with plenty of personality.
