An "impressive" period property in Macclesfield - this week named as one of the UK's 'best places to live' - is on the market. The stunning six-bed on Gawsworth Road is valued at £950,000.
It is being marketed by Gascoigne Halman in Macclesfield. This week we reported how the Cheshire town had made The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2026 guide.
Describing Macclesfield, the judges said: "With one muddy boot in the Peak District and one designer loafer in Cheshire’s golden triangle, Macclesfield is an unshowy place compared with neighbours such as Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, but it has what it takes to keep everyone happy: schools, trains to Manchester and London, an attractive, improving and accessible town centre and life’s big necessities - a hospital and supermarkets."
