## Description

The accommodation extends to almost 2650 sq ft and will suit those who are looking for space and versatility. At ground floor, there are three reception rooms including a large living room (19'11 x 15'11) with doors opening to an L-shaped dining room and a family room/snug.

There is also a conservatory off the family room and a garden room that is adjacent to the kitchen and has doors opening directly to the sheltered courtyard garden. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of high quality base and eye level units with an Aga oven and integrated appliances.

There are five bedrooms across the two floors, including a superb principal bedroom that enjoys a very pleasing garden aspect and has its own en suite bathroom. The second and third bedrooms, both excellent sized doubles, are also on the ground floor and are served by the well appointed family bathroom. The fourth and fifth bedrooms are on the first floor and both enjoy spectacular views that reach as far as Jodrell Bank. There is also extensive under eaves storage (that prospective purchasers could easily convert into additional bedroom space) and a modern shower room.

The rear gardens are without doubt a feature that set the property apart from others in the area. There is a delightful courtyard accessed directly from the garden room that is perfect for outside entertaining. A pathway leads to the private mature rear garden which is largely laid to lawn with mature shrubs, bushes and trees on the boundaries forming pleasing backdrop to the property.

The house is set well back from the road with a driveway providing off road parking and turning space for several vehicles. There is also a large integral garage. Steps lead up to the house and there are beautifully landscaped gardens to the front of the property.

This is a truly impressive home that is located in a sought after pocket of Bowdon, with excellent schools on the doorstep and close to both Hale Village and Altrincham Town Centre.
