Description - Constructed by McCarthy & Stone Springbank is a fine example of retirement apartment living.

The building stands in a slightly elevated position with handsome elevations and lies within superb tree lined grounds.

This ground floor apartment has the advantage of a French window opening onto an area of garden with an approximately easterly aspect to enjoy the morning sun. The fitted kitchen is larger than average and overlooks the communal grounds and an unusually spacious master bedroom benefits from a range of fitted furniture and delightful tree lined views.

A little over a 1/4 mile distant is the village of Hale with its range of individual shops and restaurants and railway station and a little further to the north is the shopping centre of the market town of Altrincham with the Metrolink providing a regular tram service into Manchester and the surrounding areas.

Springbank also features well planned and refurbished communal areas with a residents lounge/kitchen, guest suite for visitors and laundry.

The accommodation features electric central heating and double glazing and with a "Careline" facility to contact the House Manager.

With good reason Springbank has long been considered one of the most popular retirement developments within this favoured residential location.
