Picture a four bedroom family home that ticks every box on the wish list. A generous kitchen diner sits at the heart of the house, perfect for busy weekday mornings or slow Sunday brunches. There’s a separate utility to keep the chaos tucked away, a handy downstairs shower room, and a large living space that invites you to stretch out, relax and enjoy time together. Period features add charm and character, while the refitted bathroom and good sized bedrooms bring comfort and modern style. It’s the kind of home that simply works for real family life. And then you step outside and realise the location is just as impressive. Being within walking distance of the town centre means coffee runs, school pick ups, and last minute errands are all effortlessly easy. Bedford Road sits just off Oxford Road too, so The Flower Pot - a favourite for families and friendly catch ups is only a short stroll away. Road links are excellent, giving you quick access into town, out towards Congleton, or across Macclesfield with total ease. Macclesfield itself continues to grow as a hub for young professionals and families, thanks to its brilliant schools, thriving independent scene and strong sense of community. And when the weekend arrives, you’re perfectly placed for fresh air adventures. From the rolling hills of Teggs Nose to peaceful stretches of the Macclesfield Canal and the leafy Middlewood Way, countryside escapes are always within easy reach. This is a home that offers space, practicality, charm and location in equal measure - a true tick box dream. A family home not to miss. ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344480) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344483) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344485) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344487) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344489) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344491) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344493) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344496) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344498) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344500) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344502) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344504) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344506) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344508) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344509) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344510) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344511) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344512) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344513) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344515) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344516) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344517) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344518) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344519) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/89594166/1344520) ## Floorplans - ![Floorplan 1](/listings/photos/89594166/1344521) - Floorplan 1 ## EPC Graphs - ![EPC 1](/listings/photos/89594166/1344522) - EPC 1 ## Sales History *Recorded sales for this property.
