Border Cottage, Pexhill Road, Macclesfield. SK11 9QA

Situated in a semi-rural position on the borders of Macclesfield, Henbury Parish, and Gawsworth Parish, the oldest part of Border Cottage is shown on the tithe maps from circa 1820. It is a versatile and exciting opportunity with huge potential. The layout could easily accommodate multi-generational living. It would also be possible to separate parts of the property to perhaps let out for an income or even develop some of the lands. There are large outbuildings and a workshop for a hobby or potential business with the relevant consents.

Set in approximately 1 acre of prime Cheshire countryside, spring time really is magnificent here and is akin to living within a park, yet with the convenience of Macclesfield's amenities close by. The garden has a predominantly south facing aspect,

5 double bedrooms, 5 reception rooms, 2 family bathrooms, 3 en-suites, and a further WC, 2 kitchens, an office and a conservatory make a total living area of over 292m2 (3150 feet2). Both attics are very usable spaces and have Velux roof windows fitted making them light and airy.

The grounds are impressive, a traditional lawn to the front (around 455m2) separated by hedging from the rear garden which is very private in summer. Many specimen trees and shrubs are planted yet the garden is relatively easy and enjoyable to maintain with a ride on mower. The far end of the garden boasts a large duck pond (complete with ducks if required) attracting a large variety of wildlife all year round. Regulars are wild ducks and ducklings, a resident moor hen, owls, jays, frogs etc. A small orchard has been planted alongside some more mature fruit trees that give apples, pears, damsons, and plums.

With 42 meters (140 feet) of road frontage, behind the sliding electric gate, there is parking for a large number of vehicles on the sandstone gravel driveway which leads down the garden to a large double garage and a large triple workshop separated by a garden machinery store with double doors. There is further open fronted under cover storage for 2 vehicles, one bay being high enough for a motor home. A poly tunnel and garden shed are to be found further down the garden. To the rear of the house is a pretty summer house, used as a store at present but could be used as a playroom or potential gym having both light and power and being carpeted.

Entering the property through the covered oak porch there is an impressive reception hall. The ground floor of the front half of the house has been designed to be capable of being used all on one level. Using the front reception/dining room as a bedroom there is level access to a downstairs shower room with WC, lounge, and kitchen. There is also a handy walk-in a cloakroom.

Up the stairs from the reception hall to the first floor, there are 3 double bedrooms, 1 en suite. All have great views. The master bathroom for the front part of the property is equipped with a bath, separate shower, sink, and WC and is accessed from the landing. Access is also to the attic room is via a staircase off the landing.
Back down to the ground floor, the newly fitted kitchen exits into the conservatory via double UPVC French doors. A great sun trap and excellent space. French doors lead outside to the York stone patio between the two parts of the property.

Onward through another door from the conservatory, there is an office space, this intern leads to the kitchen/dining reception area at the rear of the property with its island kitchen. Through double doors again to the rear lounge which has a vaulted ceiling with two Velux roof windows and French doors overlooking the garden - a truly wonderful place to sit and be mesmerized by the wildlife when it is too cold to be outside in the garden. Back into the dining reception area, there is access to the first floor via the stairs passing a very convenient downstairs WC with hand basin.
At the top of the stairs are two double bedrooms, both with en suites. A shower in one en suite and a whirlpool bath in the master bedroom en suite. From the master bedroom there is access to the attic via a staircase, again a very useful attic room with two large Velux windows, with eaves storage and a solid oak floor, presently used as a music room.
