3 Bed Terraced House For Sale Beswick Street, Macclesfield, SK11

Beswick Street is a quiet no-through road tucked away just behind Oxford Road and situated just on the fringe of the town centre. The area enjoys a variety of mainly period architectural styles - humble terraced cottages right through to grand villas frequent this popular area of the town. Good local schools are a major feature of this particular location, with All Hallows Catholic College and Parkroyal Primary School both almost neighbouring Beswick Street. There is a community spirit within the surrounding area, with resident families being a strong percentage of the local population in this particular location, due to the proximity of schools and amenities.

This particular property forms one of several handsome Victorian-era, garden-fronted homes. Unusually, for residences situated so close to the town centre, these homes feature good outside space, which forms enclosed gardens and often garages too. Directly to the front of this particular row of properties, a private resident's parking scheme is enforced- for a nominal fee, residents may apply for annual permits from Cheshire East Council.

The present owner has invested much time and effort in improving the property from former long-term ownership. It had been loved but was rather tired having been a little neglected in latter times. Thankfully, due to the long course of ownership, the vast majority of lovely original Victoriana features remained in situ. The original chimney breasts, open fireplaces, wooden picture-hanging rails, high plaster ceilings, internal doors and quarry tiled flooring, all became features to work around. Both the ground and first floors were virtually gutted, and a full makeover project commenced. The old windows were replaced with modern effective double glazed sealed units, the bathroom & kitchen were taken back to brick and extensively refitted with modern fittings, and the original dining room quarry tiled floor was exposed and professionally restored, along with the original dining room and lounge fireplaces opened up. These are just a selection from a long list of improvements that also included the entire redecoration and installation of brand new floor coverings.

The second floor attic room offers great potential to further improve and add value. Although completely habitable and newly carpeted, this great space is most worthy of further finishing and improvement.

The original 2 double bedrooms on the first floor, are complimented by a further attic conversion which is a great addition and provides occassional use perhaps as work from home space, or simply fabulous attic storage - the attic was converted by a previous owner many years ago & therefore it should be noted that it does not currently meet current building control regulations. The accommodation is independently accessed from both the front of the property and the rear - most useful as parking options [are provided to both elevations. The front door is approached via a small pretty cottage garden, and opens to a long reception hallway which connects the two separate reception rooms to the rear kitchen. The lounge, which is situated to the front of the property, features double glazed sash-style period windows, a high decoratively plastered ceiling and open fireplace. The neighbouring dining room, boasts a lovely original quarry tiled floor and a similar high ceiling and open fireplace too. The dining room connects to the modern fitted kitchen, which opens to the lovely private rear garden. The first floor landing serves two larger-than-average double-sized bedrooms, along with a newly refurbished bathroom. A second floor staircase rises to a roomy attic room with good head height, served by a large dormer window affording fabulous distant over-rooftop views to the Peak hills and beyond.

Enclosed, the rear garden is of a good size and is ideal for both children and pets to play and roam. An original brick outbuilding provides useful garden storage. A gate to the rear of one side of the garden provides access to Horseshoe Drive, which is located just off Cottage Street, where the garage and further parking are accessed.

The garage is most roomy and offers the facility to enable further secure parking, as well as offering the option of great storage or a multitude of other uses, such as a workshop or gym maybe? The garage is served by power and light and also has a door opening to the rear garden.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a good-sized home, situated in a popular and convenient town location with the huge benefit of a great private garden, garage, and several parking choices.

An ideal first-time buyer's home, upsize, or due to the central location,a great downsize proposition.
