Situated in a fabulous fringe of countryside location and surrounded by open fields and rolling hills, Middlehills is a small and peaceful community whose residents are lucky enough to enjoy the spoils of a semi-rural lifestyle.
Middlehills lies just to the west of the Peak District National Park boundary, with Teggs Nose situated just a short walk to the east and the immediate location surrounded by beautiful open countryside. A network of fabulous walks and bridleways, Macclesfield‘s wonderful canal towpaths and the 11-mile Middlewood Way are all within easy access - This is a dream location for lovers of the outdoors and those searching for a more peaceful and idyllic lifestyle.
Although the immediate area is best described as semi-rural, all the amenities Macclesfield town centre has to offer, including the mainline Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston railway station, can still be accessed by foot or bicycle, and by car in less than five minutes.
The location lies high above the town, providing unprecedented views and spectacular sunsets over the entire Cheshire Plains, and on clear days encompassing Manchester city centre, Manchester Airport and farther-reaching views to North Wales and as far as the eye can see.
Number 2 Middlehills is a detached family home, originally constructed in the architectural style of the 1930s art deco-inspired period and neighbouring a small community of similar homes in this highly sought-after location.
The property has recently been the subject of a substantial and carefully considered redevelopment & remodel, which has incorporated a fabulous open-plan extension of the ground floor living accommodation, whilst transforming both the interior and exterior to reflect a modern and contemporary living style. Three separate ground floor reception areas now enable the space to be utilised with far greater flexibility; ideal for families with children of all age ranges and for those who may require home working space too.
The showpiece has to be the addition of an incredible, architecturally designed and naturally bright, open-plan island kitchen. Featuring a fabulous underfloor heating system and incorporating volume ceilings complete with Velux skylights and floor-to-ceiling picture windows, the extended accommodation provides spectacular elevated and panoramic views over the entire Cheshire plains, boasting a mesmerizing backdrop over the town centre, Manchester city centre and the airport; Jodrell Bank to the south west, and as far distant to the west as the Welsh hills.
The living space offers great flexibility to adapt as so desired; created to function as the hub of the house and to fulfil all modern family needs.
Fabulous bi-folding patio doors open directly to a spacious side terrace which is easily accessed by the kitchen and presents a perfect environment for relaxation with family and friends, and of course al-fresco dining during those lovely sunny summer days and warm evenings.
Approached via an extended enclosed porch, complete with a contemporary front door; the porch serves as a combined boot and coat hanging space and opens to the reception hallway, which features a very handy downstairs cloaks/WC. The hallway acts as a reception area, separating the ground floor accommodation to great effect. To one side, there is a light, airy, and spacious living room that benefits full-width windows and views to the rear over the garden and open countryside. To the other side, a spacious home office, playroom, studio, or perhaps teenagers bedroom, has been created - ideal for home workers, as this room is situated away from the main living spaces, allowing business meetings and calls to be uninterrupted.
The open-plan fully-fitted island kitchen, features informal stool-seated breakfast and dining, lots of cabinet cupboard, drawer and larder storage space, as well as a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. To maximise kitchen space and separate laundry duties, a separate utility and boiler room has been created directly accessed from the kitchen area.
A solid oak and glass contemporary-style staircase rises from the reception hallway, to reveal a bright and spacious gallery landing. All the upstairs rooms are accessed from the landing and comprise of four double-sized bedrooms and a refurbished family bathroom. The master and second-sized bedroom, boast incredible panoramic views over the Cheshire plains, including the diverse spectacle of beautiful sunsets to aircraft taking off and landing at Manchester airport.
It is not just the interior space that has received substantial investment, the exterior and gardens have also been totally transformed. Elevation finishes have been carefully considered with a perfect and harmonious balance of modern neutral-coloured K rend, and natural red brick features.
A roomy double garage with a remotely-operated electric garage door opening and electric car charging point was another recent addition and provides lots of useful storage or further secure parking.
There are gardens to both the front and rear; with the rear garden offering private and enclosed space with countryside views from the spacious elevated terrace. Useful dry-covered storage is provided to the rear, by means of underfloor access to the main building structure. A landscaped lawn front garden neighbours a wide pebble-laid driveway, which leads directly to the double garage and presents parking for two vehicles.
Although the accommodation and aesthetics have been totally transformed and will more than satisfy the majority of families, due to the amazing location, there exists potential to extend the accommodation and ultimately increase value further.
This is indeed a rare opportunity, as homes presented to this high standard, coupled with the outstanding location, seldom come to market - Viewing appointments are highly advised at interested parties convenience by contacting the sole selling estate agent, Simeon Rains in association with The Good Estate Agent Macclesfield. Our offices are situated directly opposite Macclesfield railway station at 52 Waters Green, Macclesfield SK11 6JT.
