Situated in an elevated position just to the east of the town centre, Rosebank is a magnificent 5 bedroom Victorian-era family home offering substantial family accommodation over four storeys.

The location has become one of the most popular choices for those wishing to live on the fringe of glorious Peak District countryside, whilst also having the convenience of easy access to all the amenities the town centre has to offer. New artisan businesses have begun to flourish in the immediate vicinity - Tommy's Bar & Pizza, Early Bird Bakery, Nomad coffee & bakery, and Yas Bean coffee specialists, are all testament to growing population of this popular location.

For families, the ever-popular Puss Bank Primary school, lies just two minutes walking distance from the front door; whilst a comprehensive range of secondary schools are all within easy reach. Situated almost directly opposite this property, a Co-op convenience store provides all the daily essentials.

Those keen on outdoor activities, along with pet owners, will undoubtedly enjoy the easy accessibility of Macclesfield's wonderful canal towpaths, which offer glorious countryside walks connecting the local villages of Sutton and Bosley to the south, and Kerridge, Bollington, Adlington and Poynton to the north. No need for the car to access the incredible Peak District National Park, for the eastern boundary of the protected park lies within comfortable walking distance.

So, with the fabulous location covered, we move on to this particular opportunity. Retaining all the original Victoriana grandeur of the day, this most handsome of homes really does command respect for the architectural design statement of the period. The opulent finish incorporates flamboyant and stylish features to impress - incredible volume ceilings that adorn ornate and detailed plaster work to magnificent effect; cornice edging and central ceiling roses; decorative wall corbels; deep carved skirting boards, colonial-style door architraves, and spectacular solid marble statement fireplaces adorn the accommodation. Along with the all the original grandeur and artistic flair of the day, the current owners have sympathetically invested in extensive renovation and improvement of the property. Bespoke crafted, double glazed and sash-operated windows, now feature throughout the property, replacing the original higher maintenance and lower acoustic and energy efficent wood framed and single glazed units - at the same time the new windows were installed, the attractive local Peak stone facade was lovingly restored to its former glory. The hot water and central heating system has been overhauled, and is served by a quality Worcester combination boiler. The conversion of the basement created a useful office; ideal for those requiring a tranquil environment to work from home uninterupted. New flooring throughout the groundfloor, as well as the installation of a modern classic shaker-style kitchen, have hugely improved the cosmetic finish, whilst creating an eclectic mix of modern and classic styles.

From the moment one crosses the threshold, both the elegance and scale of accommodation becomes apparent - the long reception hallway simply brimming with glorious Victoriana finishes, designed to initially impress, whilst reflecting the status and comfortable lifestyle of the occupants. The magnificent and focal staircase rises under a crowning ornamental plaster carved archway, complete with supporting wall corbels, whilst the volume and ornate cornice encrusted ceilings can not fail to impress. The elegant bay-fronted living room retains the original chimney breast, which incorporates the original, and most grand, solid marble fireplace. Full-height sash windows, ornate ceiling plasterwork, deep skirting boards, and colonial-style doors and architraves, accentuate the fabulous period charm of this most impressive reception room.

Adjacent to the living room, the separate dining room also replicates the majority of the features of the front room, including the chimney breast and glorious solid marble fireplace - this is a wonderful environment for family get togethers, or entertaining friends.

The kitchen is very much the hub of the household. Fully refurbished and featuring a central island and a comprehensive range of sage finished shaker cabinets, complete with integrated appliances; the kitchen complements the period surroundings, creating a sympathetic and cosy farmhouse style.

From the reception hallway, a door opens to a carpeted staircase which descends to the converted basement. A lower floor corridor divides a perfect home office, study, or studio; from a workshop or store. The office is perfect for those requiring a peaceful environment to work from - no need to compromise bedroom space, or work around busy family living space. The office is spacious and provides a perfect working solution.

To the first floor, the staircase with its glorious polished antique banister, turns to a split-level landing. To one side, the original 6th double-sized bedroom, now serves as an incredibly spacious family bath and shower room. Presented in a modern period-meets-contemporary style; a chrome four-claw, rolltop bath plays central stage, supported by a modern oversized corner shower, featuring a traditional monsoon rainfall shower. The ultra-modern wash basin and WC, contrast to great effect with the classic period bathtub. Situated adjacent to the bathroom, a very handy separate WC, allows the bathroom to be enjoyed, without family interruption!

The master bedroom is situated directly above the living room, sharing the same bay window fronted aspect. A range of 4 double sized full-width, bespoke crafted, fitted wardrobes, offer ample clothes storage, whilst allowing space for further bedroom furniture. Adjoining the master bedroom, two further bedrooms comprise of a rear aspect double-sized room, along with a stunning single-sized bedroom, featuring a full glass wall and door to the landing [This room is currently utilised as a game playing space, however, it could be adapted to offer privacy, if required].

A separate staircase from the landing, rises to the second floor, where a Velux skylight provides a good degree of natural light to the second floor landing, which provides access to two immensely spacious, dormer-windowed, attic bedrooms.

The rear garden is accessed from the property via the kitchen and basement workshop. From the kitchen, a small flight of steps descend to an elevated flagged terrace. From this elevated vantage point, a garden gate to the right, provides access to both the side, and front garden areas; whilst to the left, a further flight of steps descend to an attractive, LED lit, India stone patio. The rear landscaped garden, comprises of a neat, well maintained lawn, with sleeper bordered flower beds, and a brick block-laid path and roomy driveway. The driveway is secured by twin gates, whilst the garden boundaries are enclosed by a mixture of natural Peakstone walls surmounted with stone copings, and mature hedging. To one side, stone steps descend to a lower-level pathway, which features a useful brick store, as well as providing access to the basement workshop.

The garden offers a good degree of privacy, siding the lovely leafy backdrop of Cottage Lane.

This is a lovely period home, offering the most deceptive, tardis-sized, family accommodation. The location is perfect for ease of access to the town, as well as stunning open countryside. Local amenities are situated within easy walking distance, and yet peace and tranquily lie equally close by.
