4 bed detached house for sale

Black Road, Macclesfield SK11

There is a lot to like about the setting of this individual four-bedroom detached family home on Black Road. At the back, you have a wonderfully established garden leading to your own decked seating area overlooking the Macclesfield Canal, with fields and open countryside beyond. Yet step out of the front door and so much of Macclesfield is within walking distance – local shops and coffee shops, Puss Bank Primary School, Windmill Park, the canal towpath, town centre and railway station are all close at hand.

Set back from the road behind mature hedging, timber gates open onto a block-paved driveway, with an established front garden giving the house a good degree of privacy.

Step inside and the entrance hall leads you through to two good-sized reception areas. The lounge sits at the rear and extends to over 19ft, with pine floorboards and a multi-fuel stove adding plenty of character. A large window and glazed sliding doors draw your eye straight out towards the garden and allow you to open the room directly onto the patio during the warmer months.

At the front, the dining room has a broad bay window and opens through into the kitchen, giving you a sociable space that still retains some definition between cooking and dining. The kitchen itself extends to over 23ft, with a good range of fitted units, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, while a door at the rear takes you straight out into the garden. Tucked away at the back is a useful combined utility room and downstairs WC, with space for both your washing machine and dryer.

Head upstairs and the Main Bedroom occupies the rear of the house, where the bay window really makes the most of the setting, looking out across the garden towards the canal, fields and countryside beyond. You also have your own dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.

There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The Second Bedroom is a particularly generous double. At present, you access the Third Bedroom through the Second Bedroom, with additional access connecting through to the Main Bedroom and dressing area.

There is, however, a relatively simple way in which the layout could potentially be adapted. The proportions of the Second Bedroom allow scope to introduce an internal stud partition wall, creating a separate corridor into the Third Bedroom whilst still retaining a good-sized Second Bedroom.

And if you are looking for even more space, there is potential above too. A pull-down ladder from the landing takes you into a fully boarded and plastered loft, already fitted with power, lighting and a Velux roof window. It is a substantial additional space as it stands, with potential for conversion into further accommodation in the future, subject to building Regulations approval and other other consents.

The garden is where this home really comes into its own. Step out from the house and you have an Indian stone flagged patio with plenty of room for a table and chairs, opening onto a generous lawn surrounded by mature trees, shrubs and well-stocked borders. It is an established garden with plenty of colour and interest, along with further areas of decking and different spots to sit out and enjoy.

Make your way towards the back and stone steps lead you up to something rather special – a lovely decked seating area sitting immediately alongside Macclesfield Canal. From here you can watch the narrowboats pass by, with the water in front of you and an open outlook across the fields and countryside beyond. It is easy to imagine spending a summer evening up here with a drink, or simply sitting with a coffee and watching life on the canal go by.

What makes the location work so well, though, is that you don't have to sacrifice convenience to enjoy that outlook. There are two access points onto the canal towpath within a short walk, one from Black Road and another from Windmill Street, giving you easy access to walks in either direction.

Windmill Park is also within walking distance and is a great space to have nearby if you have children, with a play area, football pitch and plenty of room for cycling and playing. Puss Bank Primary School is easily reached on foot, and the parade of local shops and coffee shops along Buxton Road means you can pick up the everyday essentials without having to head into town.

Macclesfield town centre and railway station are within walking distance. For more information, or to arrange a viewing please contact James, Carly, Lewis or Dawn on the details provided.
