Occupying an elevated position along Gawsworth Road, this attractive and extended three-bedroom detached home gives you far more than you might initially expect, combining generous living space, plenty of individuality and a wonderfully private rear garden, all within a popular and well-established residential area of Macclesfield.

Offered for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN, the house has been thoughtfully improved and extended by the current owner, creating a home that works particularly well both for day-to-day life and entertaining. The side extension has added a separate utility room, downstairs WC and garage store, while also giving you the exciting possibility of exploring a further extension above to create additional first-floor accommodation in the future, subject of course to obtaining the necessary planning consents and approvals.

As soon as you step inside, the generous entrance hall immediately gives you a sense of the space on offer. It is considerably more spacious than you might expect in a home of this style, with room for coats and shoes, useful understairs storage and a staircase rising to the first floor.

To the front, you have a separate lounge which provides a comfortable space to relax away from the more sociable accommodation at the rear. A large window fills the room with natural light, while the contemporary décor gives the room a distinctive and stylish feel.

It is towards the rear, however, where the house really comes into its own. The impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space is somewhere you can easily imagine spending much of your time, whether you are cooking, sitting around the island or having friends and family over for dinner.

The Shaker-style kitchen is arranged around a substantial central island topped with oak butcher-block worktops, giving you an abundance of preparation space together with informal seating. There is an excellent range of fitted cabinetry alongside an integrated oven, microwave and dishwasher, induction hob and space for an American-style fridge freezer.

Large windows draw your eye towards the rear garden and allow plenty of natural light into the room, while the kitchen flows naturally into the adjoining dining area. Here, bespoke fitted cabinetry and shelving create a striking backdrop with ample room for a generous dining table, giving you one large and genuinely sociable space across the rear of the house.

The side extension adds another really useful dimension to the ground floor. From the hallway, you have a separate utility room which has been finished to complement the rest of the home, with fitted units, worktops and sink together with space for laundry appliances. A tall glazed door provides direct access and an attractive outlook towards the rear garden, while alongside is a stylish downstairs WC. At the front of the extension, the garage store has an electric roller shutter door and gives you valuable additional space for bikes, tools and garden equipment.

Head upstairs and you will find three bedrooms arranged around the first-floor landing. The main bedroom sits peacefully at the rear overlooking the garden and retains stripped pine floorboards and picture rails, while the second bedroom is another well-proportioned double room overlooking the front. The third bedroom gives you the flexibility of a single bedroom, nursery or home office and also retains its original pine floorboards.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, including a bath with shower over and twin vanity wash basins, with the Viessmann combination boiler neatly housed within a cupboard. You also have the added convenience of a separate WC.

Outside, the house sits elevated and set back from Gawsworth Road behind its lawned front garden. A gated driveway provides off-road parking and leads up towards the garage store and front entrance, with gated access continuing along the side of the house into the rear garden.

Once you reach the back of the property, you begin to appreciate just how much outdoor space is tucked away behind the house. Mature trees, established shrubs and planting provide an excellent degree of privacy, with a central lawn complemented by several different areas where you can sit, entertain or simply enjoy the garden. Immediately behind the house is a stone-flagged patio, while towards the bottom of the garden you will find a composite decked seating area beneath a pergola.

And if you enjoy entertaining, there is one final surprise waiting for you at the end of the garden. The timber-built summerhouse has been transformed into its own bar and seating area, creating a brilliant space for summer evenings with friends. Alternatively, the space gives you plenty of flexibility to create a home office, studio, gym or hobby room to suit your own needs.

Gawsworth Road places you conveniently on the southern side of Macclesfield, with the town centre and its excellent range of shops, restaurants and amenities within easy reach. Macclesfield railway station provides regular mainline services towards Manchester and London, while you are also well positioned for local schools, South Park and the beautiful Cheshire countryside surrounding the town.

If you are looking for a detached home with character, a great amount of living space, a private garden and the potential to make it even more your own in the future, there is an awful lot here to get excited about.
