Macclesfield Nub News is a free news service, that is thanks to the local businesses that support and sponsor us.
One of those, Holden & Prescott independent estate agents, gets a an article about a property that has recently come to market in the Macclesfield area.
And for this week's Macclesfield Property of the Week, we head to a gorgeous, prominent building just a few minutes walk away from the high street.
Birch House, of Bridge Street, is home to multiple flats converted over half-a-decade ago.
And this flat, is number one! (Literally, it is apartment number one) The flat has just come up for sale for £195,950.
The building dates back to the 1820s, and has a striking Tuscan pedimented doorcase approached by steps with railings.
Other period features include sash windows and a stone-flagged roof.
But enough about the outdoor building, how about we get inside?
Apartment One comprises two bedrooms, one bathroom, and one reception room.
When you have such a historic building, it can be hard to strike that match of elegantly furnishing it, to making the living quarters feel up-to-date and liveable.
But the flat looks like it was furnished yesterday, with lavish, elegant furnishings.
Here's what Holden and Prescott had to say about this property.
"This listed building lies on the doorstep of the town centre and has in recent years [has] been converted into eight splendid apartments," they said.
