Property Details

Originally constructed as the title suggests as a dairy, this house now stands as one of the most unusual and individual properties in the immediate vicinity.  The property which is sub divided into two distinct sections, the main house and a coach house to the rear sits in fabulous gardens which are not directly overlooked to the rear.  The house comprises a storm porch, entrance hallway, good sized principal living room, separate individual areas to the rear of sitting areas and breakfast room together with a kitchen, utility room, downstairs cloakroom and a study.  At first floor level is a master bedroom with en-suite, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.  Externally is the separate coach house as described overleaf, which would surely appeal to somebody working from home.  There are beautifully tended gardens, ample parking and a secure gated area for further car parking. 

This area is characterised by a notable mix of houses.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within five minutes drive as does Altrincham and Timperley.  Altrincham’s market town centre with its Metrolink services into Manchester lies close at hand.  Timperley with its range of shops is also within walking distance.  Sporting and recreational facilities abound.   The urban motorway network and International Airport are literally on the doorstep.

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed along the main Hale Road turning left at the Delahays traffic lights onto Delahays Road.  Through the next set of lights which continues into Thorley Lane.  Shortly after passing a small mini roundabout the property will be found on the left virtually opposite Ridgeway Road.
