Impressive six‑bedroom Victorian with large gardens, garage and cellar conversion potential.
Victorian detached family home circa 4,556 sqft including full‑footprint cellars
An imposing Victorian detached family house occupying a mature 0.25-acre plot in central Altrincham. The house extends to about 4,556 sq ft across four floors (including full‑footprint cellars) and retains many original features — high corniced ceilings, sash and bay windows, period fireplaces and an elegant spindle staircase. Three reception rooms and a recently refitted Tom Howley breakfast kitchen provide generous ground‑floor living, while six double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms suit a large or growing family.
Outdoor space and parking are major strengths: a gated sandstone driveway leads to substantial off‑street parking and a detached double garage with garden store. Gardens wrap around the house, with south/west aspects to the side garden offering plenty of sun, deep lawns and mature borders that deliver privacy and attractive outlooks from many rooms.
The lower‑ground full‑footprint cellars present clear potential to create additional living accommodation or ancillary space, subject to planning and building‑regulation consents. The house is essentially well presented but, as a solid‑walled Victorian property, it presents standard period‑house considerations — limited wall insulation (assumed), ongoing maintenance of original fabric and potential for sympathetic upgrading in places to meet contemporary energy efficiency expectations.
This property will appeal most to established families seeking proximity to Altrincham town centre, the Metrolink and highly regarded local schools. It balances immediate move‑in quality and character with scope for value‑adding improvements (cellar conversion, targeted energy upgrades or internal reconfiguration) for buyers wanting to tailor the home to modern family living.
