## Description

Thoughtfully renovated by the current owner, the home has been carefully improved to create a distinctive and welcoming space that makes the most of natural light and its versatile layout. The ground floor comprises a living room, downstairs WC and an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, forming the true heart of the home.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor provides a superb principal bedroom suite with en-suite shower room and useful eaves storage, completing the accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys a private garden and is only one of two homes within the terrace to benefit from off-road parking, a rare and valuable feature.

Positioned at the end of the attractive and well-known terrace known as Knutsford View, the property enjoys a peaceful, leafy setting tucked away just off Hale Road. This charming backwater provides a real sense of privacy while remaining within easy reach of local shops, amenities and the villages of Hale and Altrincham.
