An Elegant And Wonderfully Spacious Victorian Villa With Minton Tiled Floors
And Stained - Glass Doors
**
Built in 1882, this spacious detached property is situated in the heart of
Macclesfield. Set back from coveted Park Lane, which is defined by its elegant
Victorian villas, the home’s lateral space extends to three spacious reception
rooms and has been decorated to respect the Victorian sensibilities of the
home’s origins. This modern, inviting property has four double bedrooms and
spans four floors, including a wine cellar and fully renovated top floor. The
house is perfectly located to South Park, the largest landscaped park in
Macclesfield at 41 - acres and is within easy walking distance of sought - after
schools and the town centre. With excellent transport links to both Manchester
and London, the station is also a short walk away.
Behind the traditional handsome red brick facade are an abundance of original
features, such as Minton tiled floors and stained - glass door panels, which are
married with herringbone parquet and a modern palette throughout. Expansive
sash windows allow plenty of light and a gothic - style marble fire surround is
complemented with a wood - burning stove.
During their 14 - year tenure, the current owners have undergone extensive
renovations, sympathetically preserving, and restoring the architectural
character whilst modernising where necessary. All plumbing and electrical
utilities are renewed, lighting is considered throughout, windows have been
re - sashed and installed with secondary glazing. Most notably, the top floor
has been fully transformed a light - filled space featuring two double bedrooms
and ensuite with a fully insulated roof and large Velux windows at the front
and rear.
The property occupies an elevated position, setback from leafy Park Lane by a
private and incredibly pretty garden at the front with a York stone flagged
path and traditional Peak dry - stone wall. Entry to the home is via a few York
stone steps, which lead to an original door flanked with a climbing rose,
camellia, and honeysuckle. An entrance porch with parquet floor and elegant
hallway lies ahead. Complete with a decorative cornice ceiling, Lincrusta dado
panelling and an ornate Minton tiled floor running underfoot, the hallway sets
the scene for the modern Victoriana that follows.
At the front of the plan is the first of the two sitting rooms with a three -
metre drop curtains, large sash windows and original rose that adorns the
ceiling above. All spaces have voluminous ceiling heights and are flooded with
natural light. Finished in ‘De Nimes’ by Farrow & Ball, the room retains its
original plasterwork, and spectacular marble fireplace.
Along the hallway is the second sitting room, stripped back to expose over
140 - years’ worth of plaster and washes of paint. At the centre is an elegant
Adams - style fire surround with a powerful wood - burning stove. Either side of
the alcoves is fitted bespoke shelving. Desirable, herringbone parquet runs
between this and the adjoining dining room, separated with an original
engineered stained - glass room divider, which can be opened. Painted Farrow &
Ball ‘Strong White’, the dining room is original to the architecture, however,
has been fully modernized with insulated walls, ceiling, and double - glazing.
Natural light enters through the back aspect, where French doors open to the
private walled garden and patio. In its entirety, the vast nine - metre length
space is cosy in winter, fresh in summer.
The modern kitchen is designed to complement the period character with a cast
iron radiator and heritage - style glazed doors. There is a practical, tiled
floor and geometric wall tiles create a floor - to - ceiling splashback, which is
set behind freestanding units and space for a Range cooker. A custom - made sink
unit made from brick and poured concrete incorporates a deep Belfast - style
sink and space for a full - size dishwasher. The interior is big enough for
casual dining and an ancillary room serves as pantry and utility, leading out
to the garden beyond.
An impressive original staircase with wool - carpeted treads and white - painted
spindles connects the ground to the cellar below, and to the first floor
above. Located under the stairs is a useful downstairs WC. This shares access
to a dry wine cellar and store. Upstairs, there are two Super King - sized
bedrooms: The front bedroom finished in Farrow & Ball’s soothing ‘Mizzle’
looks across to a view of mature beech trees; and the back (painted Kelly
Wearstler X Farrow & Ball ‘Palm’) boasts sunset views.
An original cot room is currently used as an office and is perfect for
creative pursuits. It could also be converted to a shower room. The large
family bathroom would have originally been used as an additional double
bedroom, however, today, the space provides a contemporary walk - in shower and
a freestanding clawfoot bath. A vast sash window means the room is flooded
with light.
On the second floor of the house are two double bedrooms and ensuite with
vanity and WC. Each room has double Velux windows and ample storage is
provided under the eaves. As part of the renovations, the ceilings were opened
to expose original beams, painted white for a modern Scandi - style look. The
house is comfortable, peaceful and a wonderful opportunity given the location,
space and décor.
