The building of a former Macclesfield pub has come on the property market.

Holden & Prescott Macclesfield is selling the site a former pub on Hollin Lane, Sutton.

The pub closed four years ago. When it was a country pub, it was formerly known as The Sutton Gamekeeper and before that The Lamb Inn.

And the future of the site lies in housing, with potential to turn it into two or more dwellings.

The residential opportunity has been granted planning permission for the conversion into residential dwellings with associated external alterations, extensions, and carports in accordance with the Cheshire East Council planning application Ref 22/3765M.

The current plans are for a pair of semi-detached homes circa 1500 sq ft each, but other alternative configurations such as a single dwelling, single dwelling with annex, or multiple mews dwellings may be possible subject to planning consent being obtained.

The corner shop is within walking distance, plus there are other attractions in the village just a short drive away. (Image - Holden and Prescott Macclesfield)

Holden and Prescott described the opportunity as a 'prime' and 'attractive' one.

"This currently 3 bedroom, one bathroom, one reception property is on the market for a guide price of £500,000", said Holden and Prescott Macclesfield.

"Sutton village, located approximately 3 miles south of Macclesfield, offers a charming semi-rural escape edged by the Paek District National Park.

"With a population of around 2,500, Sutton exudes a close-knit community feel with good local amenities, including Hollinhey Primary Schol, Sutton Village Cafe and General Store, Sutton St James, the parish church of Sutton and the renowned Sutton Hallpub/restaurant and a host of other local popular pubs. 

"The river Bollin and Rosendale Brook, along with the Macclesfield Canal, weave through Sutton, offering many beautiful walks. It is also a good point from which to make the ascent of Shuttlingsloe, the Matterhorn of Cheshire, and access to Tegg's Nose Country Park."

The property is currently council tax exempt, with a freehold tenure.

As well as the pleasant garden on the land, the area is surrounded by lush green space. Hikers are perfectly poised for many cracking walks, which many a Sutton resident will tell you.

And if walking isn't your thing, there is plenty of things to do. Nearby attractions include pilates classes, an alpaca farm, and a pub which serves Jeremy Clarkson's beer on tap.

Nearby places to eat or drink also include The Ryles Arms (on the same street) and the Church House Inn, the latter of which has recently come under new management.

It has a guide price of half-a-million pounds. (Image - Holden and Prescott Macclesfield)

So while the pub may have gone, the residents of this housing opportunity will be primed for living in a proper community.
