Property Details

This house has been thoroughly upgraded by our clients in recent times and sitting in a beautifully proportioned garden plot which is one of the most private locations in the centre of Altrincham.  The gas centrally heated accommodation which is laid out over four levels comprises a ground floor of a welcoming entrance hallway with original stone flooring, two good sized reception rooms, a well proportioned breakfast kitchen with a vaulted ceiling and large picture window overlooking the gardens to the rear.  At lower ground floor level is a converted cellar area comprising living room/play room with en-suite shower room with a laundry room, wine store adjacent and a bedroom area.  At first floor level are three bedrooms and a bathroom completing the accommodation at second floor level is a good sized fourth bedroom.  Externally are the gardens and residents car parking facilities as described overleaf.

Normans Place is as previously stated in an idyllic backwater set within walking distance of all amenities in Altrincham town centre including the Metrolink.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within five minutes drive and the urban motorway network and International Airport are on the doorstep.  Sporting and recreational facilities abound.  The property itself is packed full of character, many of the fine original features having been retained by our clients but these have been combined with every modern convenience.  The house is decorated to a light, tasteful airy theme and the house retains its original Georgian flavour.  The centre piece of the ground floor is an extended breakfast kitchen with vaulted ceiling and picture windows overlooking the garden, but above all else this property must be viewed not only because of its superb location but because of the larger than average expansive accommodation over four floors.

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Altrincham proceed up Regent Road for approximately 250 metres turning left onto Normans Place where the property will be found on the right.

There is a substantial timber garden shed and a good number of mature trees in the garden and gardens adjacent affording an excellent level of privacy.  Indeed the property is not directly overlooked to the rear.
