This fine detached house occupies an exceptional site approaching one quarter of an acre and is positioned on an exclusive private cul de sac within the heart of the conservation area. The property has been remodelled and extended by the current owners to create an attractive gable fronted family home with partially rendered elevations beneath a slate roof and importantly with a south westerly aspect at the rear to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. Ideal for entertaining during the summer months, the landscaped gardens are certainly a feature and include an almost full width stone paved terrace approached through French windows from the sitting room and breakfast kitchen alongside another substantial seating area and adjacent lawn with raised flower beds, well stocked borders and variety of mature trees. Great care has been taken to create a beautiful setting with an array of colour and high degree of privacy.

Elcho Road has long been one of the most sought after locations being approximately half a mile distance from the award winning town centre of Altrincham with its highly popular Market Hall which contains a variety of establishments including small independent retailers and informal dining options. The Metrolink station provides a commuter service into Manchester and the area is well placed for the surrounding network of motorways. Equally, just a little farther is the fashionable village of Hale with its range of restaurants, wine bars and individual shops. Nearby is the exceptional Altrincham Grammar School for girls with Altrincham Grammar School for boys, Loretto Convent and St Ambrose being other highly regarded educational institutions in the locality, as are the primary and preparatory schools.

The accommodation is superbly proportioned throughout and incorporates rooms of generous size, tastefully appointed and with quality fittings. At ground floor level the full depth sitting room features a panelled inglenook with impressive fire basket flanked by built-in seating and French windows which open onto the rear terrace. The separate dining room is approached through double opening doors from the entrance hall and the adjoining kitchen is fitted with a classic range of in-frame units complemented by polished granite work-surfaces and integrated appliances. In addition, there is substantial breakfast bar and ample space for a breakfast table with French windows leading onto the delightful rear gardens. Furthermore, the adjacent utility room provides access to the WC and the front of the property. Completing the ground floor is an inner hallway from the sitting room with WC off and workshop with dual access to the front and rear.

At first floor level the spacious primary suite comprises excellent double bedroom with fitted furniture, dressing room and en suite bathroom/WC. There are three further double bedrooms and a fully tiled shower room/WC.

Gas fired central heating and warm air heating has been installed together with timber framed double glazing.

Externally there are remotely operated wrought iron gates to the stone paved parking area with detached double garage beyond and ample parking is also available for guests at the side of the property.
