Ideal for a family or space hungry couple, the house has been lovingly and sympathetically improved over the years by its owners who have occupied the property as their main residence for the last 20 years. A job relocation has resulted in their decision to sell the property. On entering the house there is a welcoming entrance hall with period staircase to the upper floors. A sitting room with feature fireplace and wooden floor is at the front of the house, whilst to the rear, there is a fantastic open plan living space, with high quality modern kitchen and integrated appliances, adjacent open plan dining area and very large second sitting room/family room bathed in natural light by a central glazed lightwell. Also on the ground floor, there is a utility room and guest toilet, and from the open plan family room/second sitting room, there are full width, full height bi-fold doors that open fully to the rear decked patio and delightful walled garden which enjoy a southerly aspect. On the upper floors there are four double bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room with large double sized shower, and there is a second beautifully fitted family bathroom which again has a double sized shower and features a stand-alone period style high sided bathtub. The house is located in the heart of the Bowdon Conservation Area, one of the most sought-after places to live in the area. Old Bowdon, Stamford Road, adjacent to South Road, West Road, East Downs Road and Enville Road, are a comfortable walk to both Hale Village and Altrincham’s Market Quarter and a short walk to Bowdon’s historic Public Houses, The Griffin and The Stamford. All in all, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a proper Bowdon townhouse, which is well fitted, well maintained, and very well presented with many appealing features. It is spacious, bright, and ready to move into and an internal inspection is strongly recommended. As mentioned, the property is located on the south side of Altrincham’s revitalised town centre with its popular market quarter and close to Altrincham Train and Metrolink station and is just as close to Hale Village centre. Altrincham has a full range of shops and supermarkets that cater for all everyday needs, including a Marks & Spencer food store. The town is a great place to socialise with a huge variety of restaurants, bars and an Everyman Cinema. Hale Village has a range of independent shops that cater for all everyday needs. Grocery shopping is well provided for in the village as there is a Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and an M&S food store. There is a village Post Office, chemist, and bakery. The village also offers a range of specialist shops and boutiques, and several restaurants, bars, and takeaways. For the commuter easy access is gained to the Northwest Motorway network with access to both the M6 and M56 within minutes from the house, while Manchester’s International Airport lies only 10 minutes away by car. Whilst the floor plan and photographs accompanying this description will give potential purchasers a feel for the property, only a visit in person will allow buyers to fully appreciate the appeal of this highly desirable home.
