Property description & features
A fine Victorian semi detached house with superb open plan living space and westerly facing landscaped rear gardens. Occupying an ideal location within the Bowdon Conservation Area and positioned approximately ? a mile from Altrincham town centre. Retaining much of the original character and charm. 4,105 sq ft (381.4 sq m) The accommodation briefly comprises entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, sitting room, dining room, open plan living/dining kitchen with utility area, partially converted cellar chambers, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Gas fired central heating and double glazing. Ample parking within the driveway and detached garage.
This double fronted Victorian semi detached house stands in a slightly elevated position and lies within the heart of the conservation area. The Firs 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 ? mile distance 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 complemented by tasteful decor and quality fittings all of which combine to create an exceptional family house enhanced by high ceilings, moulded cornices and tall sash windows.
Approached beyond the original stained glass/panelled front door with matching arch shaped transom light, a stunning entrance hall with spindle balustrade staircase and mahogany handrail leads onto a spacious sitting room with the focal point of a traditional fireplace surround. The dining room features a bay flanked by window shutters as well as a beautiful marble fireplace and is ideal for formal entertaining. Positioned to the rear an exceptional and naturally light open plan living space incorporates a bespoke hand painted Shaker style kitchen with polished granite work surfaces alongside a generous dual aspect living room with French windows opening onto the stone paved rear terrace. There is also an adjacent utility/cloaks area with access to the walled courtyard and a cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.
The basement, although not waterproofed, has been utilised to include an office, concealed utility area and laundry room in addition to ample storage space. There is potential to create even greater living space subject to obtaining the relevant approval.
At first floor level there is a full depth bedroom suite incorporating a well appointed bathroom/WC, two superb double bedrooms and family bathroom/WC.
To the second floor there are two additional bedrooms and the entirety is currently configured to create a principle suite comprising double bedroom, remarkable en suite bathroom/WC complete with free-standing bath and walk-in shower together with a separate dressing room.
Screened from the carriageway the driveway allows parking for several vehicles and there is an attached garage plus gated access to the rear.
The landscaped grounds are an undoubted attribute with the added advantage of a full width stone paved rear terrace and gardens laid mainly to lawn with mature borders and importantly a high degree of privacy.
