This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace sits a short walk from Macclesfield town centre and the train station, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a city-centre pied-à-terre. The house offers open-plan living on the ground floor and a communal lawned garden, all offered with no onward chain for a straightforward purchase.
Internally the property is small (approximately 530 sq ft) and retains period character from its early-20th-century build, with solid brick walls and standard ceiling heights. The layout includes an open-plan lounge/dining kitchen, a double bedroom and a single bedroom upstairs, plus a modern-fitted bathroom. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are present, although glazing install date is unknown.
There is clear potential to reconfigure or modernise the interior to suit contemporary tastes; the solid brick construction means insulation upgrades could be considered. Practical advantages include a very long lease (809 years) and nominal ground rent (£5), plus low council tax. Buyers should note the property is in a deprived area with very high recorded crime rates; interior viewing and local checks are advised.
Overall this home is suited to a buyer looking for an affordable entry into Macclesfield with scope to add value through cosmetic improvement and better thermal performance. Its town-centre location, nearby schools and transport links are strong conveniences that balance the building’s compact size and the neighbourhood’s challenges.
