Barber Street is a quiet and rather leafy backwater, situated just to the rear of Windmill Street and convenient for easy access to the town centre and Macclesfield's direct train service linking Macclesfield to Manchester Piccadilly (23 minutes) and London Euston (1.45 hours).

Historically, the surrounding neighbourhood has proved highly popular with those wishing to live in a location which is within easy reach of both the towns wealth of amenities, as well as easily accessing the almost neighbouring towpaths of the Macclesfield canal, and slightly further distant, open Peak District countryside. The area is also served by a range of local amenities, such as convenience stores and takeaways.

Number 8 Barber Street, is an end of a small row of terraced cottages, constructed during the mid Victorian era. The property is of rendered brick elevations surmounted by a traditionally covered slate roof.

The accommodation is cosy and very much reminiscent of a country cottage. The very cute rear garden is westerly-facing, benefitting an ideal orientation to attract as much natural light and summer sunshine as possible, whilst the front garden and driveway area face south-east, perfect for catching the morning sunshine.

For those with a dog to exercise or simply keen to get outdoors, both Knights Pool and Windmill Park lie within a stones-throw, as do the tranquil Macclesfield canal towpaths.

Via the front door, one enters the lovely main reception room, a charming living room that retains the original chimney breast, whilst incorporating a feature fireplace.

Adjacent to the living room, a compact cottage-style kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets, as well as an integrated oven and hob, plumbing for a washing machine and the installation of the combined gas central heating and hot water boiler.

An open-plan staircase rises from the living room to access an open gallery-style landing, a most spacious double-sized bedroom, as well as a neighbouring bathroom and WC facility.

To the rear and accessed from the kitchen, a lovely lawn-laid garden is enclosed by natural Peak stone walls and a rather cute picket-style fence. The garden attracts good afternoon and evening sun during the summer months, due to the westerly-facing aspect. The lawn-laid garden features a stone flagged pathway, as well as a flower stocked bedded border.

To the front of the property, a small stone flagged seating area borders a slightly elevated tarmac-laid driveway, perfect for providing secure off road parking for one vehicle. The driveway incorporates wrought iron gates to enclose the front garden and driveway area. Further unrestricted public parking can be found along Barber Street also.

This is an affordable and compact home to efficiently run and maintain. The council tax is assessed as the lowest 'A' banding, whilst the property benefits a gas combination central heating and hot water boiler and is fitted with full PVCu double glazing to aid energy performance. The accommodation is perfectly suited to a single person or couple - an ideal first home or perhaps a convenient and quietly located downsize.
