Property description & features

  • Planning permission to convert building into dwelling
  • Planning permission to extend existing building
  • Spectacular rural location
  • 0.25 acre plot (to be confirmed)
  • Requires cash buyer
  • Huge potential
Enjoying spectacular views towards the Peak District National Park and nestled upon a glorious rural plot of approximately 0.25 of an acre (to be confirmed) stands Gritstone Cottage. The stone and block-built building with pitched slate roof, originally built as a double garage/outhouse, was granted planning permission in 2018 to be converted into a dwelling (ref 18/4766M) and just recently has also been granted planning permission to add a side extension to the building and to erect a detached garage (Ref 23/3344M). The property is accessed via a gated driveway and has lush green garden space, which adjoins open fields to one side and the garden area of the neighbouring property to the other. Gritstone Cottage is located directly off Buxton New Road, approximately three miles out of Macclesfield town centre and just over nine miles from Buxton. The area is literally a gateway to miles of open countryside, including; Teggs Nose Country Park, Macclesfield Forest and Lamaload Reservoir which are all within close proximity. The villages of Rainow, Langley and Sutton are also close-by. The property will suit those buyers looking to create something rather special in a rural area and who would be willing and able to take on the necessary works to transform and extend the current building into a bespoke dwelling. Given the nature of the works required we are seeking buyers without the requirement for a mortgage. Please take time to digest all of the information relating to the planning permissions (accessed via the planning portal of Cheshire East) and have a drive by the property before requesting a viewing. Buyers are advised to ask their solicitors to check the legal status of any services currently supplied to the cottage and/or the legal implications of supplying any in the future. The property has a current Council Tax Assessment of Band A. Please note the approximate square footage as shown on the floorplan refers to the external measurements.

Council Tax Band: A
Tenure: Freehold

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 31, 2024

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 31, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
