House For Sale £375,000
'Portland House' is an imposing, unique Victorian residence in an elevated position with panoramic views over the Cheshire Plain and adjacent to the picturesque Macclesfield Canal.
The property, formerly a detached residence, has been cleverly remodelled and split into two extremely generous semi-detached homes in more recent years. The property itself dates back to circa 1870 and enjoys a commanding yet quaint position at the head of a quiet road within the confines of Scholar Green, not too far from a range of village amenities and the primary school.
Enjoying a plot size which extends to approximately a quarter of an acre, this spacious family house retains many of its original features and appealing attributes that you don't see on the market every day. Including the original frontage with stone stairway leading to the main entrance to the house, ornate cast iron pillars and arched stonework.
Accompanying the property are a number of notable features, some of which include:- Gas central heating, recently installed carpets, feature bay windows to both the dining room and living room, with original wide staircase and access to the cellar, an open fireplace to the lounge, a fitted kitchen incorporating range style cooker and further white goods and a handy downstairs cloakroom/WC.
The landing is both spacious and has been redecorated more recently, with the exceptionally generous master bedroom boasting dual aspect windows. Bedroom two is also a good size double room, along with a well-proportioned third bedroom. The family bathroom is located upstairs and features a white suite.
Externally the property has two driveways, a large detached garage which can accommodate a car and also incorporates a workshop, studio/home office plus recording booth with stables below providing storage space or many other uses. Established gardens are located at the front and side of the property. The lower garden at the front of the property provides private access to the adjacent playing field.
To fully appreciate the properties location, overall size and many attributes viewing is highly recommended.
