Enquire and book online quoting reference 22342 Historically, Peter Street has proved a very popular residential location due to its quieter environment, close proximity to surrounding schools, the town centre and railway station, and the fact that it almost neighbours Macclesfield's largest public outdoor space; 41-acre South Park. Peter Street has an attractive and surprisingly diverse style of architecture - historic terraced cottages, Victorian and Edwardian era garden-fronted homes, art deco terraces, and recently constructed contemporary designed townhouses, all rub shoulders in this relatively small neighbourhood. Although the location is within easy walking distance of the town centre, the immediate area is well served by local amenities. Number 249 Peter Street shares a handsome traditional red brick façade & elevations with a traditional slate covered roof. It is clearly evident by the standard of presentation that the property has been cherished by the current owner, who has happily enjoyed living here for several decades. The accommodation however, is now in need of some updating. Thankfully, many original features remain in situ and the once separated lounge and dining room, have been combined to create a more spacious and usable living area. The kitchen remains as it was designed; a galley area for simply preparing meals and closing off from the main living space. A later addition of an extended laundry area provides a basic additional space to the rather compact kitchen. The first floor landing separates two double-sized bedrooms and a third single bedroom, along with a basic but serviceable bathroom. Both the kitchen and bathroom serve their purpose adequately, however, it has been reflected in the realistic asking price that a new owner will want to update both these areas in the near future. Todays modern living style will most likely involve a new owner extending the accommodation to enlarge the kitchen space, or perhaps to knock through to the adjacent dining room to create a more open plan diner/island kitchen. The garden to the rear is of particular mention, as is the rarity of a garage in such a fringe of town location. The garden space is private and fully enclosed; perfect for young children and pets to enjoy. The garage is functional and offers good storage, with the parking of a small car inside, a realistic proposition. There is an opportunity to remove the garage for those that would prefer the idea of creating a good private parking space instead. We are informed by our clients that the property was previously the subject of a government backed Warmhome scheme a number of years ago, and that some of the benefits of the investment were in cavity wall insulation (installed 27/08/2009) and attic insulation. We are also advised by the vendors that he combination central heating and hot water boiler was replaced on 19/06/2017. The windows and doors have all been replaced in the past [save the kitchen window & door which have a double glazed extension directly attached to the rear] with lower maintenance/higher efficiency sealed PVC double glazed units. A new energy performance certificate assessment [EPC] has been caried out on 15-04-25 and is rated as a 'C'. A full gas central heating system is currently in place, however, we must state that this has not been tested by the agents and we recommend any interested parties have this checked by a qualified Gas Safe registered technician. This is without doubt a rare opportunity to secure a home with lots of potential to improve and make ones own. The asking price has been carefully considered and reflects the necessity for works that will be required in updating and improving the accommodation. For those on a budget, this is a fabulous proposition to possibly move in and improve over time, or for those with relevant skills, or indeed with the investment necessary to make the alterations and improvements to their own choice; this is a fantastic blank canvass to work around. The location is highly popular as previously mentioned, and we feel there is also an opportunity to potentially add value by the input of time, effort, and investment. Viewing appointments are welcomed with flexibility by the sole selling estate agent, Simeon Rains in association with The Good Estate Agent Macclesfield.
