Property Details

This house is offered for sale with the undoubted bonus of something in excess of four acres of formal grazing land with the potential for those with horses or ponies to create a small equestrian centre.  The farmhouse which is set out over two levels comprises an entrance hallway, three reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen with utility room with rear porch, whilst at first floor level is a master bedroom with en-suite, four further bedrooms, a family bathroom and study.  Externally are ample parking facilities for numerous cars and the formal gardens and land as described overleaf.

This particular section of Warburton is almost exclusively rural.  There are a large number of farms and yet the area is set within ten to fifteen minutes drive of most amenities.  Altrincham’s busy market town centre lies close at hand and Hale with its range of fashionable shops and restaurants is also within ten minutes drive as is the urban motorway network and International Airport.  Schools for all ages serve the area, the Bollin Valley and Green Belt are literally on the doorstep and sporting and recreational facilities abound. 

Recent additions to enhance the equestrian facilities include a stable block, in addition is a 36 ft. substantial storage shed, a log store, installation of an electronically gated entrance, a new front boundary wall, path and gate. 

DIRECTIONS

From the Charcoal Road traffic lights proceed along Charcoal Road in the direction of
