Property Details

Beautifully maintained and upgraded by our clients over recent times, this property offers fabulous family accommodation spread over three floors plus cellars.  Briefly, the gas centrally heated accommodation comprises a long wide welcoming entrance hallway with a downstairs cloakroom reached from a small inner hallway area.  There are two large principal entertaining rooms, both with classic original Victorian features.  To the rear of the house is a substantial and refitted breakfast room and kitchen with a small informal sitting area immediately adjacent to the rear courtyard.  At lower ground floor level are three large cellar chambers with excellent head room and this provides further potential for enlargement of what is already a substantial property.  At first floor level, leading from a split-level landing, are three good-sized bedrooms, one of which is currently in use as a formal study.  There is a Jack and Jill bathroom facility shared between bedrooms one and two, in addition to which there is also a formal bathroom and a large walk-in storage room.  At second floor level, leading from a substantial landing area, are two further double bedrooms, a walk-in storage room, a formal bathroom and a small inner landing giving access to a dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes and a linen cupboard.  Externally there is a detached garage, and the gardens as described overleaf.
This area of Altrincham/Bowdon is characterised by a mixture of early to mid Victorian classic villas, many of which have been substantially upgraded.  The area generally is well served by local amenities.  Altrincham’s bustling market town centre lies within a quarter of a mile easy walk.  Hale’s fashionable village lies within three to four minutes drive. The urban motorway network and International Airport are on the doorstep and sporting and recreational facilities abound.
DIRECTIONS
