Property Details

This beautifully presented three storey Victorian semi detached house occupies a truly central location within easy walking distance of Hale village.  Briefly the gas centrally heated and double glazed accommodation comprises a large recessed porch, wide welcoming entrance hallway, downstairs cloakroom, lounge, separate dining room, fully fitted breakfast kitchen with solid maple units and granite worktops, completing  the ground floor accommodation is a utility room, whilst at first floor level are three double bedrooms and a bathroom and at second floor level is a fourth bedroom which is large enough to be used as a sitting room and an en-suite.  Externally are the gardens and parking facilities as described overleaf.

Much care and attention has been spent in the maintenance of this particular house and all the modernisations that have been carried out by our clients have been in complete sympathy with the vintage of the house.  The kitchen bas been fitted with a solid maple kitchen, the bathroom is a top quality white suite, and the décor is pleasant but neutral.  The gardens have been beautifully maintained and have the undoubted bonus of a southerly facing orientation, and the front has been presented in such a fashion as to be extremely low maintenance, yet in keeping with the style of the house.  Cecil Road is characterised by a mixture of Victorian and later houses and is ideally located for a short stroll into Hale village with its range of fashionable shops and restaurants.  Altrincham with its busy market town centre and regular Metrolink services into Manchester is within five minutes drive and the urban motorway network and International Airport are literally on the doorstep.  Sporting and recreational facilities abound, and there are a wide range of private and public schools.
