The main town of Macclesfield, is offered with its mainline railway station (London Euston in approx 1hr 45mins), excellent schools including Beech Hall Preparatory School, Kings School and a range of highly regarded secondary schools. The town offers an array of high street stores, shops, bars and restaurants.

An impressive, long, gravel drive leads to the private residences only, with delightful formal communal gardens lying to the front of the barn conversion. There is also an additional driveway found to the rear of Kilncroft which leads to its own private driveway, providing parking for numerous vehicles and its landscaped lawned gardens with an extensive Indian stone paved terrace providing an ideal outside dining and relaxing area.

The main entrance, opens into the reception hallway with Macclesfield stone floor, with cloakroom off and a beautiful oak return staircase to the first floor galleried landing. The dining hall is generous; a fitting place to host a family’s weekly Sunday roast! From the dining hall is a cosy lounge featuring picture windows and an attractive exposed brick built fireplace which comfortably houses a gas fired stove. The breakfast kitchen is the family hub, a really pleasant social space; a place to gather, chat and cook; you can even imagine the baking aroma of homemade bread. Tucked off the kitchen is a delightful snug, a place to retire to and snooze, or watch an afternoon of sports. Completing the ground floor is a useful utility room, off which is the converted garage now set up as a work from home office and gym.

The galleried landing with exposed oak beams, provides doorways to each of the 5 bedrooms, all individually unique, some with high angular ceilings, one with its own bullseye window which captures beautifully, farmland views and the breathtaking Bosley Cloud.
