Set within a converted Victorian chapel, this one-bedroom apartment blends period character with affordable town-centre living. The second-floor home has tall arched windows, stained-glass stairwell features, and open-plan lounge/kitchen that capture rooftop views across Macclesfield. The property is chain-free and retains the Cheshire County Council discount scheme benefit, which is passed to future buyers and boosts affordability.
Practical running costs include an annual service charge around £1,700 and a small ground rent of £175. Heating is electric, delivered by wall-mounted radiators and room heaters, so buyers should expect higher energy costs than gas-heated homes. The lease is long (around 232 years remaining) and the property was converted in 2007 from an older chapel building, offering solid brick walls with internal insulation.
At roughly 506 sq ft, the apartment suits a single occupant or couple seeking an entry-level purchase or an investor after a low-cost centrally located unit. On-site residents’ parking and a secure intercom entrance add convenience. The flat does require typical updating and ongoing maintenance planning for electric heating and communal fabric (service charge-funded).
