Much care and attention has been spent in retaining many of the fine original features of the house.  The house is tastefully decorated to a light airy theme, and many of the large picture windows take full advantage of the expansive garden.  The area generally is characterised by a mixture of top class period semi, and detached houses and is set almost equi-distant between Altrincham’s bustling market town centre with its Metrolink services into Manchester and Hale with its range of fashionable shops and bistros. The urban motorway network and International Airport are literally on the doorstep.  Sporting and recreational facilities abound.  The Bollin Valley and Green Belt are literally within five minutes drive. 
 
In conclusion this is one of the most striking period semi’s currently on the market today.  The approach to the house is through a leafy garden with gated entrance to the side elevation of the house could not fail to impress.
