A rare opportunity to purchase this imposing Victorian family house in the most prestigious part of Bowdon, Cheshire
Description
This beautiful Victorian property is set in a desirable location, in the heart of the Bowdon Conservation area. It is within walking distance of both Hale and Altrincham, with excellent transport systems, including the Metrolink, directly into Manchester. It is in the catchment area of some of Altrincham and Bowdon's very best schools. There are two private tennis clubs a minute's walk away, along with a Church, Synagogue and two pubs/eateries. The house is set well back from the main road, with substantial grounds to the front, side and rear.
The property boasts a wealth of period features and has an abundance of internal space over three floors, together with a large cellar. Whilst already well arranged for family living, it offers great opportunities for rearranging and extending.
The grand entrance hallway is extremely welcoming and provides access to all rooms on the ground floor. There are two spacious reception rooms featuring stunning fireplaces and bay windows, perfect for both formal entertaining and relaxed gatherings. The morning room is a delightful space adjoining the kitchen, ideal for casual dining or sitting. The kitchen offers a range of wall, drawer, and base units, providing ample storage and workspace. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a WC. The cellars are spacious, with three rooms, offering great potential for conversion.
The first floor accommodation is well proportioned. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front elevation, with a bay window and a beautiful feature fireplace. Serving this bedroom is a particularly large and luxurious bathroom, with sunken bath and separate shower and WC. The second bedroom, also on this floor, again has an attractive bay window and fireplace. Adjoining this room is a lovely bathroom with fitted vanity units. This bathroom could be turned into an ensuite by installing a new doorway.
The second floor offers three further bedrooms and a useful storage cupboard, which could be converted into a bathroom/shower room.
The property benefits from stunning, mature and private gardens. The front garden offers privacy and is low maintenance with wide borders and gravelled areas. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with planted borders, mature trees, and a raised patio area for outdoor seating and relaxation. In addition, a secluded seating area is situated at the back of the house. An electric gated driveway with a large block-paved area provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, along with a double garage with electrically operated door.
