Summary - Hillcot, Lidgetts Lane, Rainow SK10 5AX
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Characterful three-bedroom home with driveway and countryside views.
Three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes
Hillcot is a charming stone country cottage set in a sought-after Rainow location, with countryside views and easy access to local walks. The house offers a practical layout for family life: three double bedrooms (all with wardrobes), three reception rooms including a study, and a generous bathroom. The paved driveway fits two vehicles and a manageable courtyard-style garden keeps outdoor maintenance straightforward.
The property retains period character — exposed beams, sash-style windows and stone elevations — while providing modern comforts such as gas central heating (Vaillant combi boiler) and double glazing. Two of the bedrooms have vaulted beamed ceilings, creating airy, characterful spaces. At about 1,152 sq ft the accommodation feels well balanced for a growing family or someone seeking a countryside retreat.
Important practical points: Hillcot is offered freehold and with no vendor onward chain, which can speed a purchase. The home dates from before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, reflected in an EPC D. Council tax is above average. The plot is small and the courtyard garden is enclosed and paved rather than lawned, so outside space is low-maintenance but limited.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character and village living close to Macclesfield’s amenities (around a 2-mile walk to the train station). It represents a comfortable, well-located family home with renovation potential for anyone wanting to improve energy efficiency or reconfigure spaces.
