Pexhill Road, Macclesfield

There are certain eras throughout history that have architectural appeal. In years to come it is unlikely that future generations will reflect with affection on what was produced in the 1960's and 1970's but at the opposite end of the scale is the Georgian era, and in this unique three-storey dwelling we have a superb example. The rather paradoxically named Grade 2 listed 'Red House' dates from 1750 and provides a splendid home that displays much of, to coin, a much-laboured phrase in estate agency, 'character and charm'.

It provides a wonderful expanse of accommodation that has tremendous versatility and that enables the layout to be adapted to suit the changes of today's family/home working conditions. It is a substantial property providing highly flexible accommodation, which includes 10 rooms laid out over 3 floors. In addition, there is the vaulted cellar with 2 chambers and a store room.

There is gas-fired central heating and exposed beams, and a delightful atmosphere throughout, contributed to in no small way by various original features, including, the beautiful oak panelling in the hallway.

To the rear, there is a delightful garden which is very much in keeping with the property itself. Within fenced, hedged and walled borders, which provide a high degree of privacy, there is a lawn, patio, mature trees, and well-stocked borders. From the rear boundary, there is access to a detached double garage and a drive that exits onto Chelford Road.
