This fine Victorian semi detached house has been extended over the years but retains many of the original period features all of which combines to create a superb family home in a highly sought after location adjacent to the village of Hale. Standing within mature grounds on a quiet cul de sac, the property features attractive partially rendered gables and bay windows flanking a covered porch with the original panelled front door. The character is continued to the interior with a spindle balustrade staircase alongside panelled doors within moulded architraves and decorative cornices. The overall effect is enhanced by sash windows and original fireplaces complemented by tasteful decor.

The reception rooms are of generous size and the naturally light sitting room includes a wide bay window and grand period fireplace. With the focal point of a stunning marble fireplace the dining room is ideal for formal entertaining and French windows open onto the delightful gardens. The spacious breakfast kitchen has been fitted with a range of hand painted Shaker style units and polished granite work-surfaces the adjacent rear hall connects to the cloakroom/WC.

The basement has been utilised to include a utility room and additional room which may be used for a variety of purposes.

At first floor level there are three excellent double bedrooms adorned with period fireplaces and a bathroom/WC complete with separate shower enclosure. To the second floor two further double bedrooms feature cast iron fireplaces and a shower room/WC completes the accommodation.

Gas fired central heating has been installed together with partial double glazing including encapsulated original stained glass windows.

The walled gardens are certainly a feature and the aforementioned decked seating area is ideal for entertaining during the summer months. Also laid to lawn and surrounded by mature trees and shrubs this attractive setting benefits from a south and westerly aspect to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day and into the evening. In addition, the wide driveway provides parking for at least two cars and there is a brick built store at the rear.

Positioned in the South Hale Conservation Area this helps ensure changes respect the area’s character and appearance and protects the local historic architecture. Ideally located just a few hundred yards from the village of Hale with its range of individual shops and fashionable restaurants and railway station providing a commuter service into Manchester. The property also lies within the catchment area of highly regarded primary and secondary schools and is equally well placed for the surrounding motorway network and Manchester international airport.
