Property Details

Extended and upgraded by our clients over the past twenty years but retaining many of the original architectural features this classic bay fronted Victorian semi detached house occupies an excellent location within walking distance of Hale village.  Briefly the gas centrally heated accommodation comprises a covered porch, welcoming entrance hallway, large principal living room and dining room, breakfast kitchen complete with hand crafted and hand painted units, granite worktops and Aga, a rear hallway with downstairs shower room, the ground floor being completed by a family room extension with exposed timber vaulted ceilings opening onto the rear garden.  At lower ground floor level are large cellar chambers which are ripe for conversion.  At first floor level are three double sized bedrooms, a luxuriously equipped bathroom and separate wc, and on the top floor is another double bedroom and box room.  Adjoining the house with internal access is a substantial double garage with pitched roof and remote control access providing excellent additional storage facilities and the gardens and car parking facilities as described overleaf. 

This section of Park Road is within the South Hale conservation area and is characterised by a mixture of Victorian semi detached and detached houses of varying sizes.  The village is within walking distance with its range of fashionable shops and restaurants.  Altrincham’s busy market town centre is within five to ten minutes drive and the urban motorway network and International Airport are literally on the doorstep.  Sporting and recreational facilities abound.  Green Belt farmland is literally within walking distance in Ashley and Mobberley as is the Bollin Valley.  The property is within walking distance of excellent local primary and secondary schools. 

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed along Ashley Road past St. Peter’s Church towards the Old Bleeding Wolf public house (now luxury apartments).  Turn left onto Park Road where the property will be found as the fifth house on the left.
