Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Macclesfield, SK11 :

'The Croft' is approached via a long tree lined driveway which leads to a secluded setting for this fantastic detached family home. Built in 1927 for the silk merchant J G Frost, who was also the Mayor of Macclesfield, the property was built on land owned by Kings school and, indeed, there are other links to the school with the spindles in the the impressive oak staircase coming from the original school. The property is truly majestic in its appearance and oozes high quality throughout. Constructed of hand made brick with sandstone sills and mullion windows under a Westmoreland slate roof. Internally all the floors are solid oak further enhancing the high quality feel throughout. The original standard of construction was extremely high and the current vendors have taken this mantle and over the years have ensured that every item addressed has also been done with an eye for detail and quality. There are many original features still remaining and these blend well with more modern additions to ensure a warm and comfortable home in which to live. The location is quite remarkable as whilst in the grounds it is an oasis of calm and yet easy access to the town centre of Macclesfield is a mere 5 minute drive away and excellent locatl amenities are within walking distance. Being to the west of the town centre also provides quick. convenient access to the motorway network at Knutsford (M6) and Wilmslow (M56/60 & 62). The house stands in wonderful gardens that have been cleverly sectioned to provide a sun terrace overlooking the immaculate lawn, an outdoor dining area, a small wooded area to encourage wild life which is ideal for making dens and tree houses and a substantial wooden climbing frame.
