Description

Sycamore Crescent is a popular residential location, situated just off leafy Ivy Lane, and within easy walking distance of Ivy Bank Primary school, St Johns Primary, and the secondary schools; All Hallows Catholic College, and Macclesfield Academy. Macclesfield College is also situated within a ten-minute walk from this location.

Due to the fabulous choice of surrounding schools and convenience of location; historically, this particular area has proved very popular with families and retirees. Macclesfield town centre and the mainline Manchester Piccadilly [25 minutes] to London Euston [90 minutes] railway station, can be reached on foot within 25 minutes, or by car in under 5 minutes. A number of local amenities are catered for, to include amongst a host of others; two local co op convenience stores, a post office, and the popular Flower Pot eatery and pub.

Number 11 Sycamore Crescent is an attractively designed and rather unusual, lodge-style detached family home. The environment is leafy and quiet, with a pleasant mixture of individual house styles. This particular home benefits from a lovely mature and private, sunny south-westerly-facing garden - a perfect adventure playground for children and pets alike.

The property was constructed in the mid-1960s, certainly a rather radical and daring design statement for the time, and without doubt, raising eyebrows in the local community during this architecturally experimental period. Airy and spacious open-plan living accommodation, enhanced by angular volume ceilings, were alien to the traditional boxy architecture of the time.

Some sixty years on, some may still consider the architectural design refreshing, compared to today‘s often mundane and hugely repetitive architecture.

The original accommodation has altered little during time; save a small non-structural modification to the open-plan design a few years ago. The present vendors have happily brought up a family during their forty years of ownership, and now as grandparents continue caring and supporting grandchildren; a role replicated by many in the community, and testament to this popular family neighbourhood.

For the present owners, it has now become time for a slight lifestyle change - to pastures green, as they say. The former family home and amazing garden are to be offered to a new owner, to no doubt enjoy and create their own fond memories for the future.

Although ready to move straight into, the house possesses great potential to improve and possibly extend the accommodation further. The original charm and character is apparent, however, there is an opportunity to exploit the original open-plan design further, to create an individual amazing living space with huge amounts of flowing natural light. The property has been maintained over the years, and we are informed by the owners that they replaced the entire roof approximately nine years ago.

With a direct easterly front orientation and a lovely private south-westerly rear aspect, this home has no shortage of possibilities to create the most stunning home.

Currently, the accommodation is approached by a slightly angular open porch. The front door opens to the reception hallway, which features a useful downstairs cloakroom and WC and provides dual access to the living accommodation via the lounge or kitchen. Double doors to the far right hand side of the hallway open to reveal a small inner hallway, which separates the ground to first floor staircase from the original open-plan lounge.

The Scandinavian lodge-inspired lounge features an amazing vaulted ceiling with almost floor-to-ceiling height and width windows. The wood and glass structures incorporate French doors to the garden, and flood the living space with an abundance of natural light. Originally, this magnificent reception room was of open-plan design - a focal stone chimney with an open fireplace rose full height and was open to one side, revealing an open-plan staircase and first floor landing. The present owners partitioned and separated the room a number of years ago, although this could very easily be reopened if so desired.

From the lounge, double doors open to a bright dining or sitting room. This separate reception room benefits a floor to ceiling window with delightful elevated views over the deep and well-screened rear garden. A glazed door opens to a full-width balcony which connects to the lounge and integral garage, further leading to the lower-lying garden.

Adjoining the dining room, a functional galley-style kitchen provides internal access to the garage, whilst also offering direct access to the reception hallway.

Ascending the staircase to the first floor, a landing opens to reveal 3 double-sized bedrooms, which all benefit from built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom provides great potential to add a shower or to relocate as part of a future renovation or extension project.

The accommodation is served by a gas combination boiler, which efficiently heats the hot water and central heating system.

To the outside, and as previously mentioned; there is a super south-west-facing lawned garden which incorporates a number of mature trees to provide an almost woodland backdrop. The garden area is most private and benefits enclosed boundaries. Family and guest relaxation and entertaining can be accommodated by a spacious raised balcony, as well as flagged terraced entertaining areas. To the front, a private screened garden features a pretty rockery and two small ponds, and is adjoined by a long driveway which provides ample parking for two vehicles. An integral garage is situated to one side of the property, and benefits a small utility area to the rear and garden access.

This is without doubt a rare opportunity to secure a more individual detached family home, situated in a lovely location and benefitting a fabulous private garden. Priced competitively, viewing appointments and enquiries are most welcome by contacting the sole selling estate agent, Simeon Rains in association with The Good Estate Agent Macclesfield - our offices are located directly opposite the railway station at 52 Waters Green, Macclesfield SK11 6JT.
