Broadway, Hale, Altrincham

A truly exquisite residence built in the Arts and Crafts style which is widely seen throughout the area. Its footprint, form, scale, and appearance have all been carefully considered to create a building which sits in harmony with its surroundings. With an abundance of high-quality materials throughout including natural slate roofing, hardwood framing, brick walls and natural stone detailing. The results are of a timeless quality blending with, and complementing the surrounding properties. Although a brand new build completed in 2023 and offering in excess of 11,000 sq.ft, the overall impression is of a house of character and architectural interest with a scale and massing that is proportional to the neighbouring properties and surrounding area.

Design and Layout
The front porch serves as the gateway to a well-lit and spacious hallway, which connects to a variety of living spaces. The primary family areas, including the open-concept kitchen, family dining room, and sitting areas, have been strategically placed to enjoy both
the physical and visual access to the secluded southerly garden areas, following the natural path of sunlight throughout the property.

Additional living areas, including a formal dining room, study, and games room, are situated on the northern side of the property with a spacious central hallway seamlessly linking these rooms to the everyday family living spaces.

The garage block is situated in the north western corner of the property being linked to the main house by a one-and-a-half-storey connection. This link comprises of a secondary kitchen, utility area, and laundry facilities, as well as a secondary staircase leading to the first floor. The primary entrance to the first floor is defined by the spacious, double-height entrance hall and an elegant bespoke stone staircase. On this level, you'll find family bedroom accommodation, including a luxurious master bedroom suite and three additional bedrooms, as well as a gym above the garage.

The second floor is accessed by a separate staircase featuring a stunning hexagonal roof lantern. From this area, there are three further bedrooms, two with sitting rooms and would make an ideal guest suite or accommodation for a live-in housekeeper.

The Site and Surroundings
The large scale of the house is entirely in keeping with the site and surrounding area with the pitch of the roof being one of the most distinctive features of this architectural style. Its scale is also appropriate to the size of the plot on which it sits being 0.7 of an acre. The roof has been designed with distinctive hips and gables, creating greater spacing and light between dwellings. The property is provided with a generous floor-to-ceiling height at the ground floor level to allow the correct proportions to be achieved within the large open-plan living spaces. This also increases the feeling of openness and spaciousness within these rooms. The residence is nestled amidst expansive landscaped gardens, bordered by mature hedgerows and trees which shield the property, especially from Broadway and its neighbouring southern boundary. Some of these trees reach impressive heights, enhancing the charm and character of the mature, green backdrop. Broadway itself is a lush suburban street adorned with fully grown trees lining the road and surrounding the properties. These houses, typically spacious and detached, are set back from the road within generous gardens.

The architectural styles span different eras, ranging from Victorian and Edwardian to contemporary designs, the only cohesive feature which gives continuity to the immediate area is the rich greenery which often only permits a glimpse of the fabulous houses beyond. There is no dominant vernacular style, individuality is the style that defines the character of this neighbourhood. Some of these houses are the work of renowned architects such as Edgar Wood and Henry Goldsmith.

Blending the epitome of authentic design, meticulous spatial organisation, and top-tier construction, Broadway presents the pinnacle of elegant family living. Every conceivable luxury is seamlessly integrated into the home's design, harnessing the latest technological advancements, including smart underfloor heating, comprehensive air conditioning, fully customizable multimedia, lighting, and a cutting-edge security/CCTV system.
