Bond Street, Macclesfield, SK11

A handsome early Edwardian-era family home dating 1906 and situated in a highly popular location. Not only is this particular location popular for its proximity to the town centre and railway station, the area has also established itself as one of the town's strongest family-focused community hubs, due to the nearby park, great neighbouring schools and Macclesfield's popular College.

Bond Street has a great diversity of architecture, reflecting the town’s iconic silk heritage. Traditional three-storey weavers’ cottages with their shared yards, built to house skilled weavers and support the town's expanding silk industry in the mid-to-late 19th century, sit alongside modest terraced homes of a similar period, and recently constructed townhouses to the southern end of the street.In contrast to the long line of terraced housing to the east of the street, to the west there are elegant garden-fronted late Victorian and early Edwardian home boasting fine architectural detailing, bright and spacious accommodation, and with most unexpected long and leafy gardens to the rear.  

Number 113 Bond Street epitomises the craftsmanship of the Edwardian architectural period. Retaining much of the property's original character, the accommodation offers well-proportioned family living space, recently increased by the addition of a magnificent master bedroom and second bathroom extension which features picturesque views over the hills to Macclesfield Forest. The original plastered ceilings, plaster corbels and chimney breasts with period fireplaces remain in situ. 

One of the greatest and unexpected features of this house must be the garden. Of a sunny south-westerly orientation, this property must possess one of the largest gardens in this most convenient of town centre locations. Extending to approximately 130' in depth, this is a simply magnificent garden with a most private and leafy backdrop. A perfect balance of roomy family living space and a relaxing outdoor environment for adults, children, and pets alike.

If the large garden should not be enough, then how about a short stroll to the almost neighbouring South Park - 41 acres of rolling walks and pathways, pond, play areas, bowling, tennis, basketball, football and more, all await to be explored by the family and any furry friends.

The accommodation is approached via a gate and path through a small enclosed front garden. A handsome black-painted period front door complete with stunning chrome accessories and an original arched window panel over, opens to reveal a long and welcoming reception hallway with high plaster cornice ceilings, wall corbels and an original spindle staircase. Doors lead from the hallway to reveal two separate reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen. The bay-fronted living room shares volume ceilings and retains the original chimney breast and period cast iron open grate fireplace, complete with a superb tiled inlay feature.

The rear adjacent dining room blends modern and period features and will no doubt be considered the hub of the home, for it adjoins the open-plan extended kitchen and can easily adapt to accommodate various use scenarios. This second reception area is presently utilised as an informal family dining space, however, it could also lend itself to become a family snug, or a mixture of the two perhaps. Retaining the original chimney similar to the lounge, the fireplace accommodates a lovely cast iron woodburner, which creates a snug and cosy space during the colder months, whilst the installation of French doors which open to the garden benefit those glorious spring and summer days. 

The comprehensively fitted contemporary-styled kitchen is a great contrast to all the lovely period features and provides super elevated views over the deep and private rear garden.

The first floor gallery-style landing accesses two spacious double bedrooms, a third single bedroom or office, along with a modern family bathroom.

A second staircase leads upwards to reveal a simply amazing conversion of the original attic space. Two dormer-style extensions to the roofline have created an impressive master bedroom suite, complete with Velux skylights that allow spectacular elevated views over rooftops and beyond to the glorious hills of the Peak District. French doors open to a Juliet balcony, providing super views over the rear garden and distant sunsets. Neighbouring the master bedroom, a sumptuous shower room and WC facility have also been created. This is a true sanctuary.

The rear garden is simply a dream. Extending 130' approximately in length, the garden offers a perfect environment for children to play and pets to roam. The boundaries are fully enclosed and the garden offers good privacy via a screening of mature trees to the rear. Facing south-westerly, long sunny summer days can be enjoyed by family and friends alike, either relaxing or dining on the large flagged terrace or playing in the extensive lawn gardens. Accessed to the immediate rear of the property, a dry cellar provides a perfect space for a laundry room, store, or perhaps conversion to a workshop, studio, or similar. A second basement cellar can be accessed from the front cellar, however, some excavation would be required to enable the space to be fully utilised. A further tool store, outside WC and glass greenhouse, are also in-situ.

The entire accommodation is warmed by a gas combination heating and hot water system, and the windows are all double glazed for effective insulation.

Ready to move straight in, this is without doubt a rare opportunity to secure a fabulous and spacious, family-orientated home, situated in a family-friendly neighbourhood so close to all the amenities one could ever wish for.
