Property Details

Thoroughly refurbished in recent times by our client for his own occupation this beautifully presented detached house offers expansive accommodation mostly spread over two floors with a small attic providing one occasional bedroom and storage areas.  Briefly the gas centrally heated and double glazed accommodation comprises an impressive entrance with three reception rooms, a large ‘L’ shaped breakfast kitchen which has been magnificently incorporated into a substantial conservatory overlooking the rear garden.   There is an informal study, large utility area and downstairs cloakroom, whilst at first floor level is a superb master bedroom with large en-suite bathroom, guest bedroom with en-suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom make up the first floor, whilst at second floor level is a box room and a box room/child's room.   Externally is the garage, parking and gardens as described overleaf.

Overlea has been magnificently refurbished in recent times for our clients occupation and it also has the undoubted bonus of sitting in one of Hale’s best regarded roads.  The area in general is characterised by a mixture of top class detached houses, and is immediately adjacent to the recognisable area of Hilltop, Broadway etc.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within five minutes drive with its range of shops and services, and schools for all ages serve the area.  Altrincham with its market town centre and regular Metrolink services into Manchester lies close at hand, and sporting and recreational facilities abound.   The motorway and Airport also lie within ten to fifteen minutes drive.

Unusually for a property of this size the property is presented in walk-in condition, the kitchen has been beautifully crafted with every modern convenience and all the bathrooms have been replaced in recent times.  The house is decorated to a light tasteful airy theme, and has been completely re-carpeted in recent times.  The house sits in an elevated position behind private hedging and electronically gated entrance, and all in all offers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent family house presented in top class order.

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed along Ashley Road in the direction of St. Peter’s Church, turning left at what used to be the old Bleeding Wolf Public House onto Park Road.  Continue along Park Road until eventually the road becomes Arthog Road.  At the top of Arthog Road turn left into Howard Drive where the property will be found on the right.
