A simply stunning, architecturally designed, three-storey home, offering highly deceptive accommodation presented in an eclectic mix of contemporary flair and classic Victorian opulence.

For urbanites, the location of this bespoke, designed home will be difficult to beat. Bridge Street lies just to the western side of Macclesfield's vibrant town centre, a stone's throw from the buzz of iconic landmarks, such as the fabulous Picturedrome eatery and neighbouring independent bistros, wine bars, restaurants and live music venues. The larger town centre and mainline Manchester Piccadilly (21 minutes) to London Euston (1.45 hours) direct service railway station are both accessible on foot in just a few short minutes. This particular area of Bridge Street is surprisingly quiet for such a conveniently connected location. It is a street with a leafy overhang and within an area of historic merit and conservation. Lying almost opposite, landmark Grade ll listed Christ Church was commissioned in 1775 by the local industrialist, Charles Roe. Roe is a family name synonymous with the development of Macclesfield's industrial past - Roe Street, incidentally, runs parallel to Bridge Street.

Number 72 Bridge Street is a rather unusual split-level terraced cottage, of traditional red brick elevations with charcoal-finished reproduction sash windows, stone sills and a handsome period-style door with an original glazed fan window above. The elevations feature matching charcoal fascia boards, surmounted by a slate tile-covered roof.

From the entrance on Bridge Street, one enters the accommodation with the main living accommodation sandwiched, in effect, between a lower-lying and an upper floor. This layout is not necessarily unique in a town where land levels often differ, however, this construction style not only offers greater-sized accommodation, but also a more flexible approach as to how one utilises the space available.

The entire property has been the subject of a comprehensive renovation and re-design, from the ground up. This has been a very well thought-through project, a personal journey with total focus from the outset on the finished article. The result is without doubt a design masterpiece, with high-specification finishes evident throughout.

Although outlined in greater detail to follow, the accommodation briefly comprises an almost full-length original reception hallway, featuring an archway, fabulous period-style tiled floor, and a contrasting contemporary design tubular radiator. This is a hallway to impress, and yet it provides complete functionality as a separation from the main accommodation and outside elements.

Adjoining the reception hallway, the original separate drawing and dining rooms have been combined to create a dual-aspect, naturally bright and roomy living space. This is a lovely room that offers great flexibility to utilise the space as one desires, whilst altering the layout as often as required. The original chimney breast incorporates a cast iron woodburner, perfect for cosy days and evenings during the colder months of the year. Tubular cast iron central heating radiators masterfully create a blend of both period and contemporary style. Oversized replacement floorboards replicate the original worn examples, treated and protected and ready to serve new occupants even longer than the originals. This is a truly peaceful, relaxing and pleasing environment to enjoy.

From the principal living space, a staircase descends to the lower-ground floor. Here, a stylish, contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining area is finished in a glorious monochrome palette with sleek handles, matte charcoal cabinetry, creating a clean and sophisticated look. A long island-style textured dark-stone-effect worktop provides generous preparation space and incorporates a hob, sink and storage. Strikingly, the wall splashback areas are protected and complimented by matching worktop risers, and individual panels behind the hob and sink. A full-height and width bank of cabinetry houses quality branded integrated ovens and appliances, maintaining the glorious streamlined appearance.
Exposed black-painted steel beams add architectural character and contrast beautifully with the light ceiling and modern surroundings. Neutral large-format floor tiles run seamlessly throughout the entire space, enhancing the sense of continuity and spaciousness. Ceiling LED lighting provides bright white light when required for cooking and preparation, whilst softer, mellow pendant lighting is the option when dining or relaxing in this fabulous, informal space.
Providing a lovely leafy garden backdrop all year round, bi-fold doors open in the warmer months to bring the outdoors almost directly into the kitchen space, perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining family and friends.
Overall, this presents as a high-quality, contemporary kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living, with a particularly effective combination of dark cabinetry, natural timber, warm lighting and neutral finishes. This is a statement space that offers so much more than its title may suggest.

Adjoining, but separated from the kitchen and dining area, a well-planned and most useful walk-in storage room provides an access point for the unexpected addition of a spacious laundry room and downstairs shower room and WC. The laundry space allows the kitchen to function solely as a kitchen, maximising food and cooking/preparation storage, whilst the shower room and WC offers a perfect solution for owners and guests alike - ideal for entertaining, following exercise, or perhaps a rather luxurious muddy dog washing facility!

Back to the reception hallway, where the original staircase rises to the first-floor gallery landing that separates the two bedrooms. The landing incorporates a loft hatch which is part-boarded, and provides useful storage with a pull-down ladder for ease of access. A window to the rear of the landing allows good natural light to flow.

The front-facing double-sized master bedroom is a stylish and beautifully appointed space, combining contemporary design with a warm, inviting atmosphere, and complemented by warm timber flooring and understated grey walls.
A striking freestanding Witt & Berg copper roll-top bath finished in shimmering nickel takes centre stage to one side of the room, set against sophisticated dark tiling with integrated lighting and contemporary fittings. Two large windows provide excellent natural light, while carefully positioned bedside and pendant lighting create a relaxed ambience. A partially-open en suite facility provides the convenience of a separate shower and WC. This is truly a bedroom that offers a distinctly modern, boutique-hotel feel.

The second double-sized bedroom features natural wood flooring and provides the perfect space for a second family member, guest stayovers, or simply a home working office.

Accessed via bi-folding doors from the dining kitchen, as well as a garden gate, a beautifully landscaped and wonderfully private courtyard garden, arranged over several levels with contemporary charcoal-paved steps, attractive stone retaining walls and an abundance of mature planting. Lush foliage, exotic planting and established trees create a tranquil, secluded setting with a delightful sense of privacy and an almost tropical ambience. This is a totally unexpected and wonderful outside environment for such a location.

The accommodation is served by a quality branded Vaillant gas combination boiler, which efficiently serves both the hot water supply and central heating system. We are informed by the vendor that the boiler is serviced annually via a service and maintenance contract.
The windows and doors are replacement double glazed units, which assist both energy and acoustic insulation.
