Modern Method of Auction
Auction date not yet published
We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
WELCOME TO 38 ROEWOOD LANE, MACCLESFIELD A LARGE DETACHED HOME WITH PLANNING APPROVAL & INCREDIBLE FLEXIBILITY Here is a genuinely exciting opportunity to create something rather special.
38 Roewood Lane is a highly deceptive detached property, discreetly presented from the road and appearing almost bungalow-like, yet opening up into extensive and highly versatile accommodation over multiple levels.
Currently providing a wealth of living, bedroom and reception space, the property is offered with planning approval already passed under application 26/1099/HOUS, together with associated design drawings.
The approved scheme provides the opportunity for an additional floor with increased roof height and dormers, together with a front porch extension and change of external materials.
LIVE IN, ALTER, EXTEND & MAKE IT YOUR OWN The beauty of this property is that there is no need to undertake everything at once.
The current owners live comfortably within the existing accommodation, meaning you can move in and enjoy the house as it stands, whilst considering how you might personalise, reconfigure or extend it over time.
For those looking for a substantial family home, there is excellent potential to create even more accommodation.
For others, the predominantly one-level layout could make this an ideal choice for future-proofing, downsizing or creating a home that can adapt as life changes.
A WONDERFUL OPEN-PLAN FAMILY SPACE The ground floor is centred around a superb 20ft open-plan dining kitchen, creating a fantastic hub for family life and entertaining.
This is already a generous and practical room. Two sets of French doors open directly onto the rear patio and garden, while a further side door provides convenient access.
There is also a separate study with bespoke fitted storage, a comfortable living room with a brick fireplace and fitted cabinetry, together with a useful sitting room/bedroom four and ground floor cloakroom off the entrance hall.
BEDROOMS, BATHROOMS & FLEXIBLE ACCOMMODATION The accommodation offers considerable flexibility, with three bedrooms, a shower room and additional reception/bedroom space within the main levels.
Bedroom one is a generous double with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, whilst bedrooms two and three are both well proportioned.
The sitting room could also serve as a fourth bedroom, depending upon your requirements. The inner hall provides access to the lower level and adds to the unusual versatility of the layout.
LOWER LEVEL – A HOME WITHIN THE HOME The lower accommodation is where this property really comes into its own.
With independent access already available, this level could lend itself to a variety of uses, subject to any alterations required.
There is a large games room measuring over 20ft, currently used as a pool room, gym and TV area, with three sets of French doors opening directly onto the garden.
It could equally become a substantial living room, teenage suite, guest accommodation or fifth bedroom.
Alongside this is a spacious four-piece bathroom, a large dressing room/snug and a generous inner hall.
For those considering multi-generational living, an elderly relative or independent teenager, the potential here is particularly interesting.
PLANNING APPROVAL – THE NEXT CHAPTER IS YOURS With planning approval already passed, the opportunity to increase the roof height and introduce additional dormers could transform the property yet further, creating another level of accommodation within the roof space.
The approved scheme also includes a front porch extension and change of external materials.
Full planning information and associated design drawings are available to view at the branch or can be sent by email.
Whether you choose to undertake the approved scheme, make smaller changes or simply enjoy the property exactly as it is, the choice is yours.
WESTERLY FACING GARDENS & GREAT OUTDOOR SPACE To the rear is an enclosed westerly facing garden, arranged over two main levels and offering a good degree of privacy.
The upper patio is directly accessible from the dining kitchen, whilst the lower garden can be reached from the impressive games room via three sets of French doors or by steps from the upper patio area.
There is a covered workshop/boxing area and BBQ preparation space with lighting and power, together with outside power points.
The garden is particularly appealing for those who enjoy entertaining, with plenty of scope to create different seating, dining and recreational areas whilst enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine.
A PRETTY FRONTAGE & AMPLE PARKING To the front, the property enjoys a neat lawned garden with flower borders and a driveway providing parking for several vehicles.
Double timber gates lead alongside the property to the rear garden, making access particularly practical.
This combination of frontage, parking, side access and enclosed rear gardens gives the property excellent outside practicality for a detached home of this type.
A SOUGHT-AFTER MACCLESFIELD LOCATION Roewood Lane is a sought-after location, particularly appealing for those wanting countryside and outdoor pursuits close at hand without being too far from town.
Macclesfield Canal and the surrounding countryside are nearby, whilst Macclesfield town centre and the mainline railway station are approximately one mile away.
