    Nestled on Buxton New Road in Macclesfield, Gritstone Cottage presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a rural retreat with stunning views of the Peak District National Park. Set on a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres, the stone and block-built building with pitched slate roof was originally built as a double garage/outhouse. Planning permission was granted in 2025 for a single storey side extension and a new detached single garage (ref 24/4565/hous)

    The building, with its traditional stone and block construction and pitched slate roof, offers a blank canvas for buyers eager to create a bespoke home. Accessed via a gated driveway, the property boasts a lush garden that adjoins open fields, providing a serene backdrop for outdoor living. The location is ideal for nature enthusiasts, with Teggs Nose Country Park, Macclesfield Forest, and Lamaload Reservoir all within easy reach, as well as the picturesque villages of Rainow, Langley, and Sutton nearby.

    This property is particularly suited for buyers who are prepared to undertake the necessary renovations and extensions to realise its full potential. Given the scope of work required, we are seeking buyers who do not need a mortgage. We encourage interested parties to review the planning permissions available on the Cheshire East planning portal and to visit the property for a firsthand experience of its surroundings.

    Please note that buyers should consult their solicitors regarding the legal status of any services currently supplied to the cottage and the implications of future services. The property currently holds a Council Tax Assessment of Band A, making it an attractive option for those looking to invest in a rural lifestyle.
