An opportunity to live in a historic home in the idyllic Macclesfield village of Rainow has come up.

It is our featured Macclesfield Property of the Week, and listed for sale with Belvoir Macclesfield.

The two-bedroom home located on Kerridge End, Rainow can be yours for just £275,000.

It is thought to be at least 200 years old, which would date back to the era of King George IV.

You're less than a mile away from the local pub: The Robin Hood. And even closer to Rainow Primary School.

The attractive semi-detached cottage comes with one bathroom, two reception rooms as well as the aforementioned pair of bedrooms.

There's also off-road double parking for cars to the site of the home.

The idyllic stone cobbles which make up the structure of the home sums up the warm and inviting nature of the property before you even go inside. And the fact the Great British countryside is literally on your doorstep makes this property an ideal escape to the country.

Mill Street estate agents Belvoir Macclesfield had this to say about this characterful property.

The bathroom has a characterful stained glass window which describes it as a 'parlour' room.

"Situated in the thriving village of Rainow on the outskirts of Macclesfield, sits this charming two bedroom stone-built cottage being sold with no onward chain."

"It is perfectly located for those looking to be on the edge of the countryside and all it has to offer, yet remaining a short drive from Macclesfield's town amenities.

"This semi-detached property boasts a wealth of character features.

"In true country style, the current owners use the back door as their main entrance and as you make your way round from the side of the property, you can't help but admire the stunning backdrop of the dry-stone walling. Entering a welcoming reception room currently set up as a dining room and study area, the beautifully tiled floor extends through to the Kitchen. 

Other benefits include a cosy-looking wood-burning stove and wooden beams in the bedroom which give the bedrooms a relaxing old-timey feel.

"With shaker style cabinets, it is well fitted and benefits from integrated appliances including fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as a Butler sink.

"Completing the downstairs accommodation, the Living Room just oozes character with its timber beams and exposed brick chimney breast, complete with a cosy Log Burner.

"Upstairs you will find the character features are lovingly maintained, with the Main Bedroom having a feature fireplace, and Bedroom Two providing access to a decked balcony leading onto the raised private garden area with views beyond. 

"The Bathroom door provides another eye-catching feature with its beautiful stained glass inset and inside the space is generous and consists of a three-piece white suite and shower over the bath.

Full Fibre Broadband access is available.

"To the outside is an off-road parking area laid to gravel, and tiered steps which lead up and around to the rear of the property where you find the small raised, garden area.

The property also has advantages of double glazing throughout most of the property.

It is on the market for £275,000, which is over £50,000 lower than the average house price in Rainow, which was £325,252 last year.
