Property Details

Occupying an excellent location on one of Hale Barn’s most popular roads this substantial detached house has been occupied by our clients for over forty years and has been significantly upgraded and enlarged in recent times.  The accommodation which is predominantly laid out over two floors comprises a portico entrance with two reception areas, one being a large dining hall with the staircase to the upper floors.  The ground floor comprises a large split level lounge, separate dining room, television room, large breakfast kitchen with utility and downstairs cloakroom.  At first floor level leading from a substantial landing is a master bedroom with en-suite, five further bedrooms one with a small en-suite shower plus a family bathroom.  At second floor level leading from a formal staircase is a useful storage area and there is a rear staircase which returns down towards the kitchen and utility areas.  Externally as described further in the brochure is a superbly crafted indoor heated swimming pool complex with substantial 33ft. pool, hot tub area, shower, sauna etc.  Whilst externally are the gardens and electronically gated entrance as described overleaf. 

Brooks Drive is characterised by a mixture of top class detached houses many of which have been re-modelled in recent times.  The area generally is extremely handily placed for access to Hale Barns and Hale village with its range of shops and restaurants.  Altrincham’s busy market town centre with its Metrolink services into Manchester lies within ten minutes drive and the urban motorway network and International Airport are on the doorstep.  Schools for all ages serve the area.  The Bollin Valley and Green Belt are on the doorstep and the property itself borders the fifth fairway of Ringway Golf Course.

From the centre of Hale Barns proceed along the main Hale Road in the direction of the yellow speed camera and the Marriott Hotel.  Approximately half a mile out of Hale Barns village turn left onto Brooks Drive.  Continue down Brooks Drive for approximately four hundred yards where the property will be found on the left hand side.
