Buxton Old Road, Macclesfield

The appearance of Rulow House to the market offers a rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful family home with separate annex in an idyllic location. With far reaching views over the stunning Cheshire countryside and yet being within a short five minute drive of Macclesfield town centre, the location is truly wonderful and a superb combination.

There is much history with this home, with the barn and now annex being the oldest part, dating back to 1797, the original house was constructed in the 1830's and further extended in the 1840's. Extensive internal work was completed in the 1970s including the roofing timbers being replaced. During the course of the past decade the vendors have altered, adapted and upgraded the accommodation to an impressive level and even the most discerning of purchasers cannot fail but be impressed by the attention to detail that is apparent throughout.

The main accommodation includes a large lounge stretching to approximately 25' in length with panoramic views, a beautifully appointed kitchen with room for a dining table, separate dining room and snug both opening onto the garden and a 5th bedroom/study. The first floor is approached via a beautiful oak staircase. From the landings there are then four double bedrooms, one of which leading to a substantial first floor deck area, and a family bathroom.

An impressive 33' x 20' two storey garage/workshop separates the main house from the annnex. The annex is independent from the house, consisting of an open plan living room and bedroom, a second room plus kitchen, utility room & bathroom. This is currently used as a profitable airBNB.

This is a property with good 'green' credentials as solar panels are installed creating approx. ?1500 per annum.

A gated block paved drive and wonderful gardens make up the approach to this stunning home. The main rear garden is split into a large York stone patio and generous lawn all surrounded by mature borders making an excellent family garden.
