Woodville Road, Altrincham £1,950,000

This understated detached family home has been meticulously modernised by our client whilst retaining a wealth of its beautiful Grade II listed features. The property occupies a large and mature plot of around 0.4 acres literally a ‘stones throw’ away from Altrincham Town Centre.

Originally two dwellings part of the Stamford Estate dating back to 1725 were bought off the last Earl of Stamford by Dunham Massey’s Estate Surveyor and Architect Maxwell Archibald Roscoe in 1879.

Roscoe used materials from renovations at Bowdon Church including oak panelling, the stairway that originally led to the Minstrels Gallery, slate cast iron ecclesiastical grating.

The present owner has undertaken a total update of the property, sympathetically retaining many of the outstanding architectural features whilst creating a modern living space with each room having its own character and architectural proportion.

The spacious and versatile accommodation in brief comprises entrance hall, laundry room, four reception rooms including a modern family room with bi folding doors giving direct access to the garden and a magnificent 16'2 x 24' billiard room. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the charming dining kitchen with two oven aga and downstairs wc.

At first floor level the sweeping staircase leads to a galleried landing, around which are arranged the five bedrooms. The master bedroom is an excellent size and enjoys a super outlook over the private gardens below, complete with its own en suite shower room and a dressing room. Bedroom two also has an en suite bathroom, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by the well appointed family bathroom.

Externally there is a private forecourt providing off road parking for several vehicles in addition to a double garage. To the rear is a stunning south westerly facing garden approaching 0.4 of an acre laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and hedging surrounding. The garden provides a stunning setting and is rare to find in this location so close to Altrincham Town Centre.

Woodville Road as previously mentioned is literally within a stones throw of Altrincham’s rapidly improving town centre. The town itself offers excellent communication facilities with Metrolink services into Manchester, the urban motorway network and International Airport are within ten to fifteen minutes drive and sporting and recreational facilities abound.
