Property description & features

A fine Victorian semi detached family house sympathetically refurbished with quality contemporary fittings complimented by features of the period (3,865 SqFt/359 SqM). The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, sitting room, open plan living/dining kitchen with double opening glazed doors to the rear gardens, three large cellar chambers used as cinema room and laundry room plus storage and WC, master bedroom with en suite shower room, five additional bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms. Gas central heating and pressurised hot water system. Secure covered parking beyond remotely operated gates.

Description - This fine Victorian semi detached house stands in a slightly elevated position and lies within the heart of the conservation area. Higher Downs has long been one of the most sought after locations, not least because of the attractive tree lined setting. In addition the shopping centre of Altrincham is approximately a 1/4 mile distant with its highly popular Market Quarter that 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 further 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 incorporates rooms of generous proportions and great care has been taken to retain much of the original character complimented by tasteful decor and quality fittings all of which combine to create an exceptional family house enhanced by tall ceilings, coved cornices and sash windows.

Approached beyond the original panelled front door, a stunning entrance hall with spindle balustrade staircase beneath an attractive archway set upon decorative corbels, leads onto a spacious sitting room with the focal point of a beautiful period fireplace surround. Positioned to the rear an exceptional, naturally light open plan living space incorporates a bespoke hand painted Shaker style kitchen with quartz work surfaces alongside a generous dual aspect sitting/dining area with feature fireplace. There is also an adjacent garden room with double opening glazed doors to the York stone paved rear terrace, which is ideal for entertaining during the summer months.

The basement, although not tanked, has been utilised to include a cinema room, laundry room and WC and also provides ample storage space. There is much further potential and separate access at the front allows an incoming purchaser the opportunity to create a self contained suite, subject to obtaining the necessary approval.

At first floor level the superb master bedroom features a comprehensive range of fitted furniture and benefits from a luxurious en suite with walk-in shower. Two further double bedrooms are served by the sumptuous family bathroom with white suite and chrome fittings.

To the second floor there are three additional bedrooms served by a modern shower room.

Externally the rear gardens are laid mainly to lawn and a sympathetically designed secure covered parking area is accessed via remotely operated double opening timber gates from Upper Downs.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
