Full Description

Conveniently situated on the outskirts of Macclesfield town centre yet within easy walking distance of the town centre, local amenities, hospital, college and train station lies the former Military installation known as 'The Barracks'.

Originally constructed for the 2nd Regiment of The Cheshire Militia, the Cheshire Regiment was disbanded in 1908 with 'The Barracks' later being decommissioned and converted into residential dwellings in the 1980's. Macclesfield was one of the largest and most picturesque of militia barracks, benefiting from considerable architectural merit, of which the neighbouring former Keep (Armoury Towers) was the centrepiece.

Constructed from local quarried stone with a rosemary tiled roof and leaded stone mullioned windows, this ground floor apartment is nestled in the top left hand corner of the development, which provides a unique community setting. The apartment comprises just one of four apartments set within this individual Grade II listed building.

Internally the apartment is well presented throughout with two good sized bedrooms, one reception room, separate kitchen, WC, Storage room and a modern Shower Room. The apartment is warmed via gas central heating fed from a combination boiler in addition to secondary glazing.

Externally the apartment benefits from an allocated parking bay marked 'V' which is rented on an annual basis. To the rear of the property is a private lawned garden complete with stone outbuilding for exclusive use by the four apartments set within the two storey building.

The apartment is being offered for sale with no vendor chain and would ideally suit a first time buyer or indeed a buy a to let investor, and has previously been let successfully at ?525pcm which would produce a yield of around 5.5%.
