A most handsome and individually constructed freehold 1920s-era detached home, situated in a quiet and leafy neighbourhood just a stone‘s throw from Macclesfield‘s 44-acre South Park.
The Ryles Park location is highly sought after due to the peaceful environment and variety of individual architecture. Another key factor is the areas close proximity to popular schooling and Macclesfield College, along with the fact that the town centre and railway station can be easily accessed by foot also.
Number 245 Western Avenue is tucked away just at the end of Ryles Park Road. The property stands proudly in the centre of a square plot that sides Macclesfield Academy‘s extensive open playing fields.
Extensively improved and renovated by the current owners, the property has received an enormous investment in both necessary structural and cosmetic works. Investment that can‘t necessarily be seen and enjoyed can often be a little frustrating when renovating such a lovely period home as this.
Extensive underground works included replacing all the100+ year oldwaste and soil pipes connecting the property to the main sewers located in Western Avenue, whilst at the same time, replacing and upgrading the water mains supply from sub-standardhistoric15mm pipework to necessary 25mm.
The old twin cross-hipped roof and associated bays were removed and completely replaced, whilst all the old windows and doors were removed, new lintel supports installed, and bespoke brand new quality sealed double glazed units crafted and replaced.
Sympathetic and thoughtful alterations and improvements to the age and style of the property were outsourced, including bespoke crafted and art-deco-inspired French doors to the main reception room. A fabulous stable-style door replaced the old timber kitchen door, allowing children and pets especially, to remain in or out whilst cool fresh air flows through the kitchen during warm summer days.
A new central heating system driven by a top of the range combination boiler and remotely controlled via a HALO mobile app, were installed. Just to cover all bases, the decision was made to install not one, but two lovely and incredibly efficient cast iron wood burners to boot.
The old and dated kitchen was removed and a bespoke and wonderfully contemporary-designed kitchen was installed, complete with lovely copper highlighted features and a host of the highest quality integrated appliances,including SMEG 5 hob, dual oven, range cooker. The flooring throughout the ground floor was replaced with a simply stunning wood-effect herringbone parquet design - simply a show-stopper.
The uninspiring and rather dated former bathroom and original separate WC were combined to form a spacious and opulent environment to pamper oneself. Presented in a dreamy contemporary-themed design, and featuring a magnificent oversized statement freestanding porcelain bathtub, incorporating floating taps; the bath is accompanied by a neighbouring walk-in monsoon rainfall shower and stunning porcelain basin, with matching black floating taps, and surmounted over an olive-finished, fish scale-effect, cabinet. flowing natural light highlights perfectly the exposed rustic features of a feature brick wall and contrasting salmon tiling;terrazzofloor tiling and an amazing period-style cast iron radiator - this is simply a design masterpiece!
The roomy gallery-style landing, complete with a most effective olive-finished spindle bannister, provides access to three stunning bedrooms. The two main bedrooms feature lovely dual-aspect elevations, allowing natural light to flow throughout the rooms. Period features such as original cast iron fireplaces and wall panelling, mix perfectly with modern vertically mounted central heating radiators; once again, a design triumph.
Outside; the front garden was cleared following the necessary underground pipe works and extensively landscaped. A new lawn was laid and beautiful reclaimed pillar fronting walls with cast iron gates were constructed and installed, along with a side run of robust sectional concrete supported timber fence panels. To complete the transformation; a dream stone block path was laid to the front door and extended to form a lovely patio to one side.
The well screened and private rear garden area, along with the driveway, are both ready for a new owner to landscape to their own designs. These two areas were due to be completed following the planned demolition of the garage and completion of the aforementioned side extension.
Alas, and with a heavy heart, the present owners due to personal circumstances, are reluctantly having to offer the opportunity to complete the final finish to a new owner. There is of course no necessity for a new owner to start or complete the extension presently; the planning consent has been granted but can be commenced at a later date, amended, or extended. If that is the choice, then there is the potential to landscape the current areas mentioned to a new owners preference.
Although covered briefly, the main living accommodation comprises of an attractive and welcoming reception hallway; an all-important downstairs cloakroom and WC; a full-width open-plan bay-fronted lounge and former dining room retaining original plaster corniced ceilings, picture hanging rails and a feature open fireplace with new woodburner; a bay-fronted open-plan dining kitchen, as previously described; three naturally bright bedrooms and a spacious luxuriously renovated bathroom; again, as previously covered.
This is a delightful and most attractive home, situated in a highly popular and convenient location, and offering an exciting and rare opportunity for a new owner to benefit from the rewards of huge financial and time investment by the current owners, whilst being presented with the chance to extend the accommodation further and create their perfect home, or simply finish as is, and to their final specification.
