Rainow Road, Macclesfield, SK10

Higher Fold Farm has both the charm and the location to provide a lovely home in what is without doubt a most idyllic setting. This classically styled 18th century Cheshire farm house was restored in 2004 to an exact standard with much of the original build being both maintained and enhanced throughout this wonderful home.

Stone flagged floors, beamed ceilings and a splendid oak staircase are just a few of a host of outstanding features. The centre of this delightful home is the farmhouse kitchen with an Aga, solid wood cupboard and granite work surfaces. An entrance hall, lounge with an open fire, dining room, study, cloakroom/ W.C. and a utility room make up the rest of the ground floor. To the first floor there are four double bedrooms, of which two have en-suite shower rooms, and finally, a family bathroom.

The property is located just off Rainow Road within a small hamlet and surrounded by beautiful countryside. There is a mature, formal garden to the front of the property and a dry stone walled patio to the rear which also provides access to the double garage and double driveway. This highly convenient location is just 1 mile from Macclesfield town centre.
