WELCOME TO 74 CHESTER ROAD, MACCLESFIELD
A CHARMING PERIOD HOME WITH A WONDERFUL GARDEN & GARAGE
Step inside 74 Chester Road and you quickly appreciate that this is a terrace house with something rather special about it. This beautifully presented two double bedroom period home combines traditional character with practical modern living, whilst offering a collection of features that are not often found together in a property of this type. From the wrought iron enclosed frontage and impressive formal hallway to the wood-burning stove, period-style bathroom, generous garden, useful outbuildings and detached rear garage, there is plenty here to fall in love with.
A WELCOMING HALLWAY & TWO LOVELY RECEPTION ROOMS
The impressive 15ft entrance hall immediately sets the tone, providing a spacious and characterful introduction to the home with access to both reception rooms and stairs rising to the first floor. The living room is a particularly cosy space, centred around an attractive fireplace with wood-burning stove, oak beam and hearth, creating a wonderful focal point for relaxing evenings. A front facing window with low level bistro shutters, coving and a radiator with decorative cover add further charm. Open plan to the dining room, which is another generously proportioned room, with a large window overlooking the rear garden. Built-in storage and shelving either side of the chimney breast provide useful practicality whilst retaining the characterful feel.
A PRACTICAL KITCHEN WITH BASEMENT & GARDEN ACCESS
The fitted kitchen sits conveniently off the dining room and provides a good range of white gloss units, integrated oven and gas hob, stainless steel splashback and space for a fridge. A rear/side door leads directly outside, whilst another door gives access down to the basement cellar, making this a particularly practical arrangement for everyday living – the basement can be used a DIY work shop, or for storage, ideal for keeping food/ drinks cool, enabling the house to stay tidy whilst everything is easily accessible.
A CELLAR WITH REAL POTENTIAL
The basement provides another feature rarely found in modern terrace properties. Measuring approximately 12ft x 11ft, the cellar has excellent standing height, power, lighting and natural ventilation, with a noticeably dry feel compared with many traditional basements. Whether used for storage, wine, hobbies or as mentioned, simply keeping those less frequently used items out of the main accommodation, it is a genuinely useful additional space.
TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS & A BEAUTIFUL PERIOD BATHROOM
Upstairs, the impressive landing provides access to both double bedrooms and the fabulous family bathroom, whilst also offering enough space for a cabinet, study desk or occasional seating area. The principal bedroom is a generous room with a front facing window, fitted dressing table and attractive bistro shutters, whilst bedroom two, another excellent double, overlooks the rear garden and features decorative wall panelling. The bathroom is a real highlight, combining modern practicality with classic period style. A four-claw roll-top freestanding bath with shower attachment takes centre stage, complemented by a WC, wash basin and attractive half-height decorative wall panelling.
A GARDEN TO ENJOY & EXPLORE
The rear garden is undoubtedly one of the property's biggest attractions. Beautifully established, generous and full of character, it provides several distinct areas in which to sit, dine and relax. There is a lovely York stone paved and cobbled patio, a central lawn with well-stocked borders and plenty of space for outdoor entertaining. The garden has a wonderful sense of maturity and offers a peaceful extension to the living accommodation.
BRICK OUTBUILDINGS & A GARAGE TO THE REAR
Adding considerably to the appeal is the excellent range of brick outbuildings at the bottom of the garden. A useful laundry/utility room provides space for a washing machine, dryer and freezer, together with work surface, power, lighting and a combination boiler. There is also a separate brick store, covered seating/drying area and wood store. And then there is the GARAGE nearly 17ft in length, accessed by vehicle from Longacre Street - a particularly valuable feature for a period terrace property and ideal for parking, storage or hobbies.
A FANTASTIC LOCATION FOR TOWN & COMMUTING
The location is equally appealing, with Macclesfield town centre just a short walk away, placing an excellent range of bars, restaurants, cafés, shops and everyday amenities close at hand. The property is also particularly convenient for nearby hospitals and the mainline railway station. Regular services provide journeys to Manchester Piccadilly in around 21 minutes and London Euston in approximately 1 hour 42 minutes, making this an excellent choice for commuters.
A PERIOD HOME THAT REALLY DOES TICK THE BOXES
With its characterful presentation, two reception rooms, two double bedrooms, beautiful period bathroom, useful cellar, superb garden, range of brick outbuildings and rear garage, 74 Chester Road really does offer an unusually complete package. It is easy to see why this type of home is so appealing - full of personality, practical where it matters and positioned perfectly for enjoying everything Macclesfield has to offer.
