Property Details

 Longridge is a pretty Cheshire brick detached house which is now in need of some cosmetic modernisation.  The house which is spread over two floors provides fantastic potential for extension or enlargement as many of the houses locally have also seen this type of investment.  The accommodation laid out over two floors comprises a storm porch,  entrance hallway with downstairs cloakroom, three good sized reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen and utility room, whilst at first floor level leading from a good sized landing with study area is a master bedroom with en-suite, three further double bedroom and a re-fitted family bathroom.  Externally is a detached double garage block, ample forecourt parking and the gardens as described overleaf.

This area is characterised by well proportioned detached houses sitting in large plots, many of which have been re-modelled and extended in recent times.  The house sits within eyeshot of Bowdon Church and is also handily located for Hale’s fashionable village and Altrincham with it’s market town centre and Metrolink services into Manchester.  The urban motorway network at Junction 6 and 7 of the M56 are close at hand, the Bollin Valley and Green Belt are literally on the doorstep.

DIRECTIONS

From the centre of Hale proceed across the level crossing to the first set of lights.  Turn left onto Langham Road and continue for approximately three quarters of a mile, turning left onto Talbot Road where the house will be found on the right hand side.
