It's time for Property of the Week, brought to you by our partners Holden & Prescott.
This week, we take a look inside Branches on Leek Road in Gawsworth, priced at £1.2 million.
Sat on the Macclesfield Canal, this property comes with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, three receptions and its own mountain bike trail.
The listing reads: "This truly remarkable detached home, located within three miles of Macclesfield, provides a unique opportunity to acquire a property set within approximately 2.6 acres, bordering the Macclesfield Canal.
"This home is ideal for those seeking tranquility while enjoying easy access to the amenities, schools, and transport links of Macclesfield."
The stone-built home, which features mullion windows throughout, was constructed using primarily reclaimed materials, including rare pitch pine.
A wraparound balcony and terrace embrace three sides of the main living floor, offering stunning valley views and seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
Accessed via a side porch, the property opens to a bright entrance hall with stairs to the garage, a cloakroom, a large lounge, a study/utility room, and a stunning open-plan kitchen with a wood-burning stove and granite island.
Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to a generous master bedroom with en-suite shower, two further double en-suite bedrooms, a fourth bedroom, and an additional bathroom.
The property features oil-fired central heating and has recently had the majority of the double glazing replaced.
The driveway runs adjacent to the canal, offering ample parking and access to a double garage, which includes a W.C. and a versatile 39' space, perfect for a gym or games room.
The gardens, which are partially built into the hillside, include a large woodland with a comprehensive mountain bike trail.
A decked seating area above the house provides the perfect spot to enjoy breathtaking westerly sunsets.
The property also offers the opportunity to obtain a number of private canal moorings with direct driveway access, a spacious 2,500 sq. ft. outbuilding, and a 480 sq. ft. workshop.
