It continues on towards the property where it opens up to provide ample off-road parking and access to the double garage. The house sits on raised foundations and is approached at the front by two sets of stone steps that lead up to a wrap-around balcony/patio encased within wrought iron railings and from where the porch and rear hallway being the main points of entry can be accessed. Behind the property there is a block paved patio which is enclosed within the retaining wall and includes a wrought iron gate giving a degree of security for pets to roam free. The space can also be accessed from the porch. The garden features many different sections including a woodland area as well as a formal lawn with gravel pathways which meander to a wonderful seating area replete with stone constructed fire pit. From the wrap-around balcony/patio a set of stone flagged steps lead up to a timber constructed gazebo style garden shelter with festoon lighting, power and housing for the hot tub. This area of the garden has been imaginatively landscaped to look onto the rolling hills of the Cheshire countryside which can be fully appreciated. The gardens have a westerly aspect and enjoy the best of the lovely evening sunsets. The woodland area is home to amazingly designed mountain bike trails which work through the trees and down the hillside. The Macclesfield canal borders the entire plot and offers the opportunity to obtain multiple canal barge moorings.OutbuildingsThere are two outbuildings which can be found on the driveway. The majority of the first building has been insulated and has power and light installed. The second is currently used by a garden store. This area also houses the timber garden shed.
