Full details for 4 Bedroom Detached For Sale in Macclesfield

No Chain! Amberley Road is a quiet residential neighbourhood, tucked away in the leafy Ivy Lane area, just to the west of the town centre. Popular with families, the location is surrounded by sought-after schools, and lies within easy walking distance of All Hallows Catholic College, Macclesfield Academy & college and primary schools, St John‘s, Ivy Bank and Parkroyal Community School.

This stunning home has been totally transformed over the past ten years of ownership and is utterly unrecognisable from archived images when purchased in 2014. With good local schooling and ease of access to local amenities as a major consideration at the time, the current owners made the decision that Amberley Road was a perfect location - quiet and with little passing traffic, schools and the town centre and railway station were close and convenient to easily access, but far enough away to not impact daily living.

One of the major factors of ownership was that the property should benefit from a good-sized plot. Situated in a corner location, the rear South- East facing garden was not only larger than most comparable properties, but also provided a great deal of privacy due to a mature and leafy backdrop. The property, however, was sadly rather dated and would necessitate major redevelopment, along with comprehensive refurbishment.

The original floorplan was very much dated and no longer suited current family living. Separate reception areas and a relatively small kitchen meant the living space simply did not flow. The garden best resembled a football pitch - bland lawn and fenced boundaries. However, it was obvious that major landscaping would transform this into a fabulous multi-functional environment for the entire household to enjoy.

Today, the project is complete and yet with a heavy heart, the owners are now selling. Having recently accepted a new challenge overseas, all the hard work, inconvenience of building work and the necessary injection of major investment, have only just been completed - in fact, a new driveway being laid just a matter of days ago!

This has been a labour of love and a vision for perfect modern living. The accommodation has not only been extended, but also completely refurbished; with landscaping totally transforming the outdoor space into a fabulous relaxation and entertaining environment, complete with an elevated gazebo, 2 Indian stone terraces and summerhouse.

The style is most definitely contemporary. A perfect mix of open-plan hub living with the availability of more tranquil separated independent spaces. The extended island kitchen and open-plan family room form the central hub of the house with wrap-around patio doors opening to the lower garden terrace. This is a cosy space for both the family to congregate and relax and is also a perfect environment for entertaining guests. A fireplace complete with a feature period woodburner, adds to the cosiness and provides a great central feature to this combined dining and informal living space.

The light and airy hallway benefits a downstairs cloakroom and WC and is located to the centre of the accommodation - perfectly separating the entire accommodation and opening to a lovely extended front lounge with an oversized picture window, providing lovely views down leafy Amberley Road. The addition of an increasingly important home office has been created to the opposite side of the hallway - also featuring a large picture window with a pleasant open outlook to the front.

A useful laundry room with fitted contemporary-style storage cupboards provides space for an integrated washing machine and dryer.

Located towards the rear and side of the kitchen, a very handy boot room and utility area provides the perfect space for entering the accommodation with muddy pets and walking/gardening attire - this area also features a sink, further plumbing for a washing machine and a comprehensive array of built-in shoe, boot and coat storage.

The gallery landing is served by an abundance of natural light and is central to the first floor accommodation. The master bedroom is extremely spacious having been extended to the front elevation, creating a luxurious room that includes fitted wardrobes, a dressing area, and an en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms and a sumptuous family bathroom with an oversized free-standing bathtub & walk-in shower, also feature.

The rear garden has been fully landscaped and has three defined areas - a lower level India stone patio is accessed from both the island kitchen and family room elevations; with a flight of steps leading to a slightly elevated lawned garden. To one side, the stone steps continue to a fabulous elevated terrace, complete with a gazebo and a summerhouse. The garden borders are fully enclosed, ideal for children to play and pets to explore. Good levels of privacy to the rear of the garden and property are provided by a mature leafy backdrop.

The front garden has been redeveloped to provide plenty of private parking and hardstanding space - ideal for a caravan or motorhome perhaps. The driveway has just been professionally completed and features a practical and hardwearing tarmac-finished surface, with attractive brick-block edging details.

The property is warmed throughout by a heat only boiler providing central heating and hot water via a pressurised cylinder. The property additionally benefits from numerous energy producing and saving technologies installed, including feed-in-tariff producing solar panels (which also heat the hot water on sunny days); which combined have resulted in an amazingly efficient energy performance certification ‘B‘.

For those searching for a highly individual home that offers well above average-sized accommodation, coupled with a great location and with no more to do than move straight in, this is a property not to be missed. Viewing appointments are essential to appreciate this bespoke designed and stunningly appointed family home.
