Description

Forming part of a small development just off Charcoal Road in Bowdon, this substantial detached home occupies an incredibly private setting with a sweeping driveway and 0.625 acres of gardens.

The house offers genuinely versatile accommodation that extends to around 2880 sq ft. The living room is an excellent size (22'11 x 16') and has a feature living flame fire with stone surround and hearth and double doors opening to the rear garden.

The dining room also has doors opening to the garden and is open plan to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of high quality fitted base and eye level units with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. There is also a home office, a cloaks/wc and a utility room.

Underlining the flexibility of the accommodation, there is a self contained treatment/consultancy room that can be accessed via the house but also has its own private entrance. It has its own bathroom facility and waiting room - perfect for those running a business from home.

The first floor accommodation is arranged around a galleried landing and includes an impressive principal bedroom that is fitted with a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes and matching bedside cabinets. It also has a contemporary en suite with walk in shower.

Bedrooms two, three and four are all very well proportioned doubles and have fitted wardrobes and are served by the well appointed family bathroom.

The property is approached via a sweeping driveway off Charcoal Road which leads onto a private driveway providing off road parking and turning space for several cars. There is also a detached double garage with lighting and power and a covered verandah extends across the front of the house.

The grounds extend to around 2/3 of an acre with lawned gardens to the front, side and rear. The gardens have been tastefully landscaped and are fringed by an abundance of mature trees. There is also a water feed to the front and rear gardens.

The properties in Charcoal Woods occupy an envious setting with 192.7 acres of National Trust parkland at Dunham Park on the doorstep. Hale Village and Altrincham Town Centre are only a few minutes drive away.
