Description

This substantial detached house occupies a large plot of around 0.35 acres and is tucked away at the head of a small cul de sac just off Harrop Road.

It is a fantastic property that would suit those purchasers who are looking for a family home in a quiet and private setting. I

t is a short walk to the shops, restaurants and train station in Hale Village and in close proximity to all the excellent local schools and Altrincham town centre.

The accommodation extends to over 4,300 sq ft and offers the generous proportions one would expect from a house of this age and style. It retains much of its original charm and character.

The ground floor accommodation is arranged around a welcoming L-shaped entrance hall. There are three excellent sized reception rooms, the largest of which measures an impressive 23'2 x 14'9 with direct access to the delightful garden. There is a well-appointed Martin Moore kitchen that is fitted with an extensive range of high quality appliances and units with granite work surfaces. There is a large adjacent laundry/utility room with downstairs cloakroom.

There are seven full height lower ground floor rooms, approximating to 1,024 sq ft floor area. These are currently configured as workshops, an office and laundry room. Prospective purchasers may, as many neighbouring homeowners have done, choose to convert the basements to create additional cutting edge living/leisure space.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing with feature window at half landing level. All of the bedrooms enjoy dual aspects and are flooded with natural light. The principal bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom with bath and free standing shower. There is a large full height and boarded attic.

The property is approached via secure electric gates with a walled driveway providing off road parking and leading to a double garage. The beautiful, private and landscaped gardens extend to around 0.35 acres with large lawned gardens to the front and side. They are planted with mature shrubs and trees and include a garden pond with fountain and attractive walkways.

There is a substantial brick-built garden room, currently used for storage, prospective purchasers may choose to convert this into additional living/leisure accommodation (subject to the necessary consents). There is also a charming walled courtyard garden to the rear of the house.

This is a beautiful family home in one Hale Village's best settings.
