Description

Occupying a prime position on one of Bowdon’s most sought after roads, Wyncroft is a substantial six bedroom Edwardian semi-detached residence dating from 1905 and extending to approximately 4,000 sq ft over four floors. This handsome period home retains the generous proportions and architectural character typical of the era, including elegant bay fronted reception rooms and high ceilings, while offering excellent scope for further enhancement. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of this scale and stature in such a prestigious setting, enabling the next owner to personalise as they wish.

The ground floor provides superb family living space, including a welcoming reception hall, formal dining room, impressive living room and a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room installed in 2022 by Oakleigh Cabinets of Altrincham. Finished to a high specification with bespoke cabinetry and quality fittings, the kitchen features a modern AGA hob and forms a stylish yet practical focal point to the home, with direct access onto the terrace and garden. A boot room, WC and access to an extensive basement level, offering multiple cellar chambers with excellent potential for conversion (subject to the relevant consents) add further versatility.

Across the first and second floors are six well proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom, complemented by two recently refurbished bathrooms completed in 2022 to a contemporary standard. The upper levels provide flexible accommodation ideal for growing families or those working from home, with additional eaves storage on the top floor.

Bedroom two also offers excellent potential to be reconfigured, with scope to knock through and create an impressive, larger principal suite complete with a walk in wardrobe and en suite. This has been thoughtfully future proofed, with the necessary drainage point already installed in the far left corner to facilitate a seamless conversion.

Location - The location is one of the property’s strongest assets. Positioned on prestigious Portland Road in the heart of Bowdon, the house enjoys an attractive outlook over Spring Bank Park, providing a green and open aspect rarely found so close to the village centre.

It is within comfortable walking distance of both Hale village and Altrincham town centre, offering an exceptional range of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and everyday amenities, as well as Altrincham’s popular Market Quarter and Metrolink for commuter access into Manchester.

In addition, the property is conveniently located for wider regional and national travel, with Stockport and Wilmslow West Coast Main Line stations within easy reach, providing fast rail services to London and beyond. Manchester Airport is also readily accessible, making the property particularly well suited to commuters and international travellers alike.

The area is particularly renowned for its outstanding schools, with both Altrincham Grammar School for Boys and Altrincham Grammar School for Girls within walking distance, making this a superb setting for family life that combines convenience, connectivity, greenery and long term appeal.
