This substantial late‑Victorian semi offers generous, characterful living across four levels — nearly 3,800 sq ft — ideal for an extended family wanting space in a prized Bowdon location. High ceilings, original mouldings, sash bay windows and multiple reception rooms create an elegant framework for comfortable family life and entertaining. The south‑facing partly walled garden and large York stone terrace extend living outdoors and receive sun for most of the day.
The house includes an impressive entrance hall, formal sitting and dining rooms, a breakfast kitchen with adjoining sitting area, six double bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus extensive cellar space and an integral double garage. The basement is practical now and offers scope for considerable additional living or utility space subject to approvals.
Important to note: the property requires comprehensive modernisation. Many period features are intact but systems and finishes need upgrading — the walls are solid brick (assumed uninsulated), glazing predates 2002, and the house will benefit from updated heating, electrics and insulation. Planning or listed‑building considerations may apply within the Bowdon Conservation Area for major changes.
For families wanting a large house in a top school catchment and under a mile from Altrincham and Hale amenities, this home is a rare canvas. With renovation it will deliver substantial long‑term value and a distinguished, characterful family home. Buyers should factor renovation costs and council tax (Band F) into their budget.
