Property Details

Thoroughly refurbished and beautifully presented by our clients this house has been the programme of complete renovation and extension in recent times and now offers one of the finest properties of its type to come to the market in recent times. 

Briefly the gas centrally heated accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule and striking Gothic style hallway with downstairs cloakroom.  The ground floor comprises a formal drawing room, classic dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, secondary kitchen and utility room.  Leading from the breakfast room is an independent suite which sits above the garage with a bedsitting area and en-suite facilities.   At first and second floor levels leading from two half landings are a master bedroom with en-suite facilities, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, whilst at second floor level are two further bedrooms making six in all.  One of the focal points of the house will be the magnificent cellar conversion which comprises a large reception area, television/family room, study, shower room and secondary utility areas.  Whilst externally is a substantial double garage, ample forecourt parking and the gardens as described overleaf.

Much care and attention has been spent by our clients in presenting this house to a light, tasteful contemporary theme, yet retaining nearly all of the classic early Victorian features such as deep moulded ceiling cornicing, tall skirting boards, dado rails and picture rails.  Most rooms have original fireplaces, and the kitchen and all the bathrooms are presented to the highest possible standard.

This area is generally characterised by a mixture of substantial Victorian houses and new executive style modern houses.  It is located within easy walking distance of Altrincham town centre with its Metrolink service into Manchester.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within five minutes drive with its range of shops and restaurants. The urban motorway network and International Airport are on the doorstep.  The Green Belt and National Trust land is also within five minutes drive.
