Leicester Road, Hale, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, WA15

Westwood Lodge is one of Hale’s most sought-after purpose-built apartment developments. Constructed in the mid 1980’s by a well reputed local developer to a high standard, cleverly planned to provide just 6 exclusive apartments, separated by a communal central hallway, two on each level and each with three outside walls enhancing privacy and minimising neighbourly noise.

Such is the appeal of Westwood Lodge and its location, owners have often remained in residence for decades, a recent sale within the building of a fully modernised apartment with the same floor plan, commanded a sale price of just below £800,000 which illustrates the potential for prospective purchasers to add value to this delightful apartment.

Location, as much as quality of build and the high standard to which the development is maintained, is a key factor with Westwood Lodge. It’s one of only a handful of low density purpose built apartment developments in the whole of Hale and Bowdon that can lay claim to being within walking distance of both Hale Village and Altrincham Town centre.

While Westwood Lodge is not a retirement development, anyone of any age can purchase one, the apartments within Westwood Lodge have always appealed to the more mature buyer, downsizing from a larger family home, attracted by the generously proportioned rooms, private balconies for the upper floor apartments and private outside space for the two ground floor apartments, mature communal gardens and ample parking and garaging.

Another major attraction is the highly regarded location, Leicester Road is a quiet and prestigious road that runs between Ollerbarrow Road and Harrop Road on the edge of Hale Village.

For anyone spending time out of the country, they are an excellent lock up and leave. The residents own and control the Freehold of the land and buildings and set their own service charge. The resident appointed block management agent maintains the grounds and the common parts, as well as the buildings. All are meticulously maintained, enabling the owners to enjoy hassle free living without the need to worry about arranging building or garden maintenance.

The generously proportioned accommodation is illustrated in the attached floor plan, the standout feature is the very large living room with its two sets of French windows opening on to the front private patio area, this is complemented by a Kitchen which is large enough to dine in, off which is a separate laundry room. There are two double bedrooms, the main bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom and there is an additional shower room which serves the second bedroom.

The central hallway has a useful open plan study area between the two bedrooms, other owners in the building have added a wall or doors to this area to create a separate study room /occasional 3rd bedroom.

Most luxury apartment buyers have three or four things on their wish list: dedicated outside space for the exclusive use of the resident, easy parking and garaging, generous sized rooms, and noise insulation from neighbours. Westwood Lodge ticks all those boxes.
