Situated in the popular residential area of Hurdsfield, this traditional Peak stone cottage offers deceptively spacious accommodation over three floors, plus the benefit of a basement cellar. The location is popular with lovers of the outdoors due to its proximity to the Peak District National Park and Macclesfield's fabulous tranquil towpath walks; whilst the town centre and mainline Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston railway station, are both easily accessible by foot. Macclesfield's largest employer AstraZeneca is also conveniently situated, and within easy walking distance. Local amenities include a post office and Morrisons The property retains much of its period charm and character, including chimneys, open fireplaces, to include a lovely inglenook feature to the dining room; along with the amazing discovery of the original York stone flagged floor which had been hidden by floor coverings for decades! Most deceptive from first glance; the accommodation runs deep from front to rear, offering two generous reception rooms, along with a rear two-storey extension that now provides for a fitted kitchen and separate laundry area. The staircase leads from the rear dining room to the first floor, where two good bedrooms and a very spacious extended bath and shower room are to be found. A staircase rises from the landing to reveal a naturally bright second floor attic room with Velux skylight, which currently serves as an occasional bedroom, however, it would also provide great home working space, or a studio perhaps. The front door opens to reveal a lovely cosy cottage-style lounge, complete with a stunning flagged floor and open chimney with a Peak stone fireplace back. A doorway opening leads through to a second reception room which is presently utilised as a dining room, due to its central position neighbouring the kitchen. The fabulous original York stone flagged floor seamlessly extends from the lounge through to the dining room, which also retains the original chimney breast, complete with an open inglenook fireplace and solid oak mantle. The dining room offers plenty of room for a dining table and chairs; ideal for family gatherings or entertaining friends. Great storage is catered for here, with two built-in storage cupboards and a range of fitted display or book shelving too. A period-style door under the stairs opens to provide access to the basement cellar. From the dining room, an opening in the original outside wall leads to the extended laundry room area, which serves to separate the cooking area, whilst also maximising kitchen storage space. However, there remains great potential if so desired, to extend the kitchen into the laundry area and create a combined kitchen diner; or, go even further by also incorporating the dining room space to form a huge open-plan island kitchen perhaps? The master double-sized bedroom is located to the front first floor elevation and features oak effect plank flooring and a useful built-in double wardrobe. The second single-sized bedroom is perfect to utilise as a child's bedroom, or perhaps as an office or occasional bedroom. The two-storey extension has enabled a very spacious and contemporary-style bath and shower room to be created; complete with cosy underfloor heating and a satin black frameless oversized walk-in shower, and a huge freestanding bathtub. A second floor attic room features a double glazed Velux skylight window for great natural light, and is presently used as an occasional guest bedroom. Outside, and accessed via the laundry room and also via a secure gated ginnel; there is a quiet communal cottage garden area. A basement cellar can be accessed from the dining room via steps, and is connected to mains power and light. The accommodation is served by an almost brand new Worcester gas combination boiler [Replaced Dec 2023] which serves the hot water supply and central heating system. The windows and doors are all efficient, low maintenance, PVC double glazed units and the council tax is assessed at just a 'B' banding, making this an appealing low annual overhead. This super character home will no doubt appeal to a wide audience, due not just to the cottage-style character, but also the popular location and above-average-sized living space.
