## Description

High Street itself is a particularly desirable road, set within the Macclesfield Conservation Area. It’s a wonderfully central location, allowing you to stroll into the town centre with its thriving independent shops, cafés and eateries, as well as reach Macclesfield Train Station on foot - ideal for commuters, with regular direct services to Manchester Piccadilly.

Not all Weavers cottages benefit from their own outdoor space, but this one certainly does. The rear yard is a true sun trap, perfect for morning coffees or evening drinks, and is accessed via double doors from the impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen space. It’s a home designed for hosting, with a layout that flows beautifully and makes everyday living feel effortless.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The top floor is home to a standout Master Bedroom - a spacious retreat with dual aspect windows and charming glimpses towards the hillside, giving you that feeling of being tucked away while still right in the heart of town.

Homes like this on High Street don’t come up often. With character, space, outdoor living and a prime Macclesfield location, this is one not to miss.

Description

Weavers cottages are woven into the very history of Macclesfield, and High Street is one of the finest examples of why they remain so sought after today. Once working cottages at the heart of the town’s silk weaving heritage, they now offer generous living spaces, beautiful character features and a unique connection to the story of our town, all while providing the comfort and practicality of modern living.
High Street itself is a particularly desirable road, set within the Macclesfield Conservation Area. It’s a wonderfully central location, allowing you to stroll into the town centre with its thriving independent shops, cafés and eateries, as well as reach Macclesfield Train Station on foot - ideal for commuters, with regular direct services to Manchester Piccadilly.
Not all Weavers cottages benefit from their own outdoor space, but this one certainly does. The rear yard is a true sun trap, perfect for morning coffees or evening drinks, and is accessed via double doors from the impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen space. It’s a home designed for hosting, with a layout that flows beautifully and makes everyday living feel effortless.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. The top floor is home to a standout Master Bedroom - a spacious retreat with dual aspect windows and charming glimpses towards the hillside, giving you that feeling of being tucked away while still right in the heart of town.
Homes like this on High Street don’t come up often. With character, space, outdoor living and a prime Macclesfield location, this is one not to miss.
