Description
The aspect of the house ensures it is filled with natural light. It has been well maintained and is ready to move into, while still offering potential for incoming purchasers to extend and improve the property over time, should they wish to do so.
The property is approached by an enlarged brick set drive which has been extended and laid over the original front garden to provide ample parking. A new front door opens to a hallway with wood effect floor. The front sitting room has a curved bay window and a feature fire surround, while the second living room is much larger than you would expect running the full width of the house and therefore large enough to be used as a second sitting room with large separate dining area.
Both living rooms have original 1930's tiled fireplaces one of which has a newly installed solid fuel stove.
The galley style kitchen has a modern range of units at both base and eye level, space and plumbing for a washing machine and a gas hob with electric oven beneath.
Adjacent to the kitchen and accessed off the rear living room is an excellent sized conservatory, neighbouring properties have used this area to extend the living space, some creating a very large open plan kitchen living room and dining room and some rising to a second storey to provide increased first floor accommodation. Planning permission would need to be obtained to do this kind of work.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, two are double and both have fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has an attractive white bathroom suite with chrome taps and white tiled walls.
To the rear of the property there is a lovely enclosed larger than average garden, laid mainly to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. The garden enjoys the perfect south-westerly aspect for maximum sunshine. There is also an excellent sized additional patio at the bottom of the garden and a good sized garden store shed.
Alexander Drive runs between Bloomsbury Lane and Grove Lane and is just steps away from The Willows, one of the most sought after primary schools locally and highly rated by Ofsted. Importantly, for those with children of secondary school age, the house is also a very short walk away from the highly rated Wellington Secondary School, a mixed school with sixth form and academy status, making it the perfect home for those with a growing family.
Timperley Village is just a short walk from the house and is a thriving centre with a range of independent shops, cafes and grocery stores that provide for all everyday needs. The nearby towns and villages of Hale, Altrincham and Sale are all within easy driving distance from Timperley.
