Description

NO ONWARD CHAIN Situated in a highly desirable location close to excellent schools, local amenities, and convenient transport links, this detached bungalow offers an outstanding opportunity to acquire a home in a sought-after area. Requiring some modernisation, the property provides fantastic potential for buyers to update and create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.
In brief the property comprises; entrance hallway, living room with double doors opening to the dining kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The property is set back from the road behind a generous size lawned front garden, with a driveway providing off road parking for up to three vehicles and leads to the attached single garage. The rear garden is fenced and enclosed, offering a good degree of privacy. It features a lawned garden with patio area ideal for 'al-fresco' dining or to simply sit and relax. Steps lead down to a further patio area which also has space for a shed, while additional steps descend to a lower gravelled area. The garden further benefits from access to the front of the property via pathways on both sides.

Location - Set in Cheshire's plains, on the fringe of the Peak District National Park, Macclesfield combines the old with the new.

The access points of the North West Motorway network system, Manchester International Airport and some of Cheshire's finest countryside are close at hand.
