Property Details

Occupying without question one of the best locations within walking distance of Hale village, this beautifully proportioned three storey Victorian semi detached house has been consistently upgraded by our clients and now offers well planned family accommodation spread over three floors.  Briefly the gas centrally heated and double glazed accommodation comprises an entrance porch, wide welcoming entrance hallway with good sized lounge, dining room, family room and newly fitted kitchen complete with granite work tops.  Throughout the ground floor is an attractive stripped polished floor and our clients have retained many of the fine original features.  At first floor level leading from an L shaped landing are four bedrooms including a master suite with bedroom, dressing room and bathroom, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this floor are complemented by two further bedrooms at second floor level.  Externally are the parking facilities and gardens as described overleaf.

Gilbert Road is a quiet cul de sac within five to ten minutes walk of Hale village.  Characterised by a mixture of classic semi detached houses the area is well served by local amenities.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within easy striking distance with its range of shops and restaurants whilst Altrincham with its market town centre and Metrolink services into Manchester is also within ten minutes.  The urban motorway network and International Airport are close by.  Schools for all ages serve the area and the Bollin and Green Belt are a short walk away.

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed along Ashley Road past St. Peter’s church, turning left into Warwick Road.  As Warwick Road bears to the right, take the third left into Gilbert Road where the property will be found on the right.
