Property Details

Priory Lodge is a beautifully proportioned Victorian cottage with yet further potential for extension or an enlargement by way of a ground floor extension or indeed a loft conversion which our clients have considered in recent times.  At present the gas centrally heated accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, two good sized living rooms, a cottage style breakfast kitchen with superb views to the rear.  At first floor level is a master bedroom with en-suite and dressing room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom.  Externally are ample parking facilities and an electronically gated entrance and well proportioned gardens overlooking the cricket ground.

Much care and attention has been spent by our clients retaining the Victorian cottage style feel of this house, yet there is ample potential for further enlargement for those with bigger families.  Many of the finishing touches such as stripped floorboards and French doors opening onto the rear garden are complemented by red quarry tiles in the dining kitchen.  There are television and sky points in the lounge and dining room.

This particular part of Bowdon is characterised by a mixture of properties but it is extremely unusual to find a property with such a fantastic open outlook.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within five to ten minute drive as does Altrincham with its busy market town centre and Metrolink services into Manchester.  The Bollin Valley and Green Belt are literally on the doorstep, and sporting and recreational facilities abound.  The urban motorway network and International Airport are close by.
 
DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed across the level crossing to the first set of traffic lights.  Turn left onto Langham Road and continue for approximately half a mile, turning left onto Vicarage Lane.  Follow Vicarage Lane through the S bend which then becomes Priory Road, the property will be found on the left hand side shortly before a right hand sharp turn.
