Farnham Avenue is a quiet road, located in a leafy residential neighbourhood in the popular Ivy Lane area of Macclesfield.
The area has historically proved popular with families due to the excellent choice of surrounding primary and secondary schools, and Macclesfield College; which are all within easy walking distance of this quiet, but highly convenient location. For those keen on outdoor pursuits, along with dog owners; Macclesfield‘s largest public park at 44 acres, South Park; lies within easy walking distance of this location.
Number 19 Farnham Avenue is a modern detached home that occupies a corner plot surrounded by stunning manicured gardens. Built in the mid-1960s, the architecture of this era of construction provided features that are so lacking in today‘s new build offerings - solid walls, spacious family-orientated living space, and generous plots were of standard expectancy in the days of cheaper build costs and land values. Large bow and picture windows flood this home with natural light; assisted by the property‘s favourable south-westerly orientation.
It is clearly evident that this fabulous home has been well cared for during its incredible 57 years of ownership - no doubt testament to the convenience and popularity of this sought-after location. The presentation of the living areas can only be described as immaculate and ready to move straight into; ideal for those searching for a home with little more to do than unpack and enjoy.
The mature landscaped gardens wrap around the property to three sides, offering a good degree of privacy by mature hedging that screens the property and runs around the lawn and pretty flowerbed boundaries.
The property was originally constructed as a 4 bedroom home. However, a number of years ago the current owners made the decision to create a more luxurious and spacious bathroom by combining the original bathroom with the fourth bedroom, whilst also creating a neighbouring second separate WC for guests - if required, a fourth bedroom could be reinstated.
The accommodation is approached by a secluded pathway, that leads from Farnham Avenue to an extended entrance porch and boot/cloaks area. The porch serves as a perfect separation from the exterior to the accommodation - ideal for shoes, wet coats and muddy wellies to be removed before entering the home.
The inner porch door opens to the open-plan and bow-windowed reception area and dining room. This reception area has plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, and conveniently neighbours the kitchen for family use, and also entertaining. The popularity today of open-plan design, lends itself perfectly to the possibility of removing the current separating wall between the dining area and kitchen, to create an island kitchen and family snug; if so desired.
A roomy and beautifully presented, double-aspect living room, features a lovely bow window and a focal period-style fireplace. This is a super main reception room that attracts a great deal of natural light and is a delightful environment for relaxation and entertaining alike.
The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern Shaker-style cabinets that incorporate integrated appliances. A space exists to create an informal bistro-style dining area for coffee or quick snacks.
Next to the kitchen, a spacious sunroom has been added to the accommodation. This is a lovely area that could be utilised for a variety of uses, such as an informal family room, playroom, home office, or simply as intended; a relaxing sun and reading room. From the sunroom, a useful downstairs cloakroom and WC adjoin a separate utility/laundry room and workshop.
The first floor landing and bedrooms are served by lots of natural light. The three double-sized bedrooms are extremely spacious, with the two main bedrooms featuring built-in wardrobes and storage.
The luxuriously appointed extended bathroom features an oversized walk-in shower with a contemporary suite and fittings throughout. A separate WC was thoughtfully added to aid family and guests when the bathroom should be occupied.
Surrounding the property externally, there are beautifully maintained cottage-style gardens. The environment is peaceful and secluded, offering a great deal of privacy, especially so from the extensive flagged patio to one side. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and feature deep flowerbed borders and a mixture of mature hedges and secure fencing. Mature bushes, shrubs and trees provide a lovely leafy and green backdrop. A large timber garden shed is tucked away to the far end of the garden, and hardstanding exists for the erection of a second store, or a greenhouse perhaps.
Private parking for up to 4 vehicles is provided by means of a wide concrete driveway, which can be accessed from adjoining Amberley Road.
The accommodation is warmed throughout via a quality Worcester-branded gas combination boiler, which serves both the hot water supply and the central heating. Windows throughout are all double glazed, which assists with energy insulation.
We are confident that this lovely home will appeal to a wide audience due to the fabulous location, plot and accommodation size, and of course, the immaculate presentation throughout. Interested parties are encouraged to arrange early viewing appointments, in order to fully appreciate all on offer.

This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
