Description
VERY PRIVATE POSITION IN THE SOUGHT-AFTER VILLAGE OF RUSHTON SPENCER ON THE STAFFORDSHIRE/CHESHIRE BORDER, WITH THE CENTRES OF CONGLETON, LEEK AND MACCLESFIELD JUST A SHORT DRIVE AWAY. WITHIN THE CATCHMENT OF RUSHTON CE FIRST SCHOOL, PROUDLY CLASSED AS “OUTSTANDING” BY OFSTED.
Perched proudly amidst its grounds, with formal gardens to the front and a wide long driveway continuing to its right-hand boundary. The rear courtyard provides a huge area for the parking of numerous vehicles and will easily accommodate the storage of a motorhome, caravan, horseboxes etc. Within the courtyard is the large, detached self-contained annexe, with attached garage. The annexe could suit a variety of uses, perhaps a WORK FROM HOME OFFICE, or a GYM, or space for a DEPENDENT or INDEPENDENT RELATIVE, and comes with a well-equipped studio kitchen and shower room. The courtyard provides gated access into the enclosed paddock (which measures approx. 1 acre) and is where the septic tank is located.
On entering, the reception hall, towards the centre of the property, provides doorways to the front lounge with garden views, the separate sitting room and guest bedroom with Jack and Jill shower room. The lavish OPEN PLAN living dining kitchen is an extension to the property and a great entertaining space. From the rear hall is a separate wet room and utility. To the opposite end of the bungalow are the other three generous bedrooms and main modern bathroom.
The property has mains water and electricity. Heating and hot water is via an oil-fired boiler, with all windows and doors PVCu double glazed.
As aforementioned, Rushton Spencer is a sought-after rural village, which boasts some local amenities, in particular its own FIRST school, classed as "outstanding" by Ofsted, with the centres of Congleton, Leek and Macclesfield just a short drive away.
Macclesfield is a thriving market town that provides a comprehensive range of shops, varied social and recreational amenities and good schools for children of all ages. For the commuter, Manchester International Airport and its connection with the North West motorway network are approximately thirty minutes away by car and the railway station in Macclesfield provides fast and frequent Intercity and commuter links with Manchester, London and the surrounding business centres.
The traditional centre of Leek is close by with its well-preserved architecture and historical links with the Napoleonic Wars and the Arts and Crafts movement make it a popular destination for an interesting town walk.
Highlights include buildings associated with writer, artist and designer William Morris, who came to Leek to study dyeing and printing techniques in the 1870s, plus stained glass designed by Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones in the Parish Church of St Edward the Confessor.
Close by is the area known as 'Petty France', where former French prisoners of war brought to the town in the early 19th century lived and were later buried in the parish graveyard.
The unspoilt town centre offers a refreshing alternative to from modern shopping malls and has a wealth of independent shops, including former silk mills housing antique and reproduction pine centres, as well as traditional and contemporary furnishings.
Delicious local produce can be found in abundance at traditional butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delicatessens, and cafes. Leek is also home to speciality producers of condiments, confectionery, preserves, wine, whisky, craft beers and the traditional Staffordshire oatcake.
Traditional markets abound, both indoors in the beautifully restored Victorian Butter Market and outdoors in the Market Place, offering everything from general goods, antiques and collectables to fine foods and special 'Totally Locally' Sunday markets. And when it comes to wining and dining, you can choose from a tempting selection of cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.
Further afield, you'll find the unique, tooth-like rock formations of The Roaches, Rudyard Lake with its picturesque setting and narrow-gauge railway and Tittesworth Water, a popular and accessible attraction for visitors of all ages. Or catch up on industrial history at Brindley's Mill and Cheddleton Flint Mill.
