Property Details

Constructed in the middle to late Victorian era, Hale Carr Lodge would have for many years stood alone on Grove Lane, and now offers arguably one of the most characterful properties in the immediate vicinity.  Briefly the gas centrally heated accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, study/television room, formal lounge separate dining room, inner hallway and utility room and completing the ground floor is a fitted kitchen with granite worktops and a good sized conservatory. At first floor level is a large master suite of bedroom, dressing room and en-suite, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.  Externally is a large double detached coach house style garage, which if appropriate could be converted subject to planning to a dependent suite.  There are good sized southerly facing rear gardens and ample parking.

Grove Lane is characterised by a mixture of detached and semi detached houses, and is located within a mile and a half of Hale’s fashionable village.  Altrincham’s busy market town centre with Metrolink services into Manchester lies close at hand.  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.

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed along the main Hale Road towards Hale Barns.  At the first set of lights turn left onto Delahays Road.  At the next set of lights turn right onto Grove Lane.  The property will be found shortly on the right hand side.
