Ashley Road, Hale
£1,700,000

A fine Victorian semi detached house extended at the rear to create contemporary open plan living space. Occupying an ideal location within the South Hale Conservation Area adjacent to the village centre. Retaining much of the original character and charm. The accommodation briefly comprises covered porch, entrance hall, sitting room, stunning living/dining/breakfast kitchen, cloakroom/WC, home office, cinema room, primary suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom/WC, three further double bedrooms and family bathroom/WC. Gas fired central heating and pressurised hot water system. Ample parking within the driveway beyond remotely operated gates. Landscaped grounds.

This fine semi detached Victorian house retains many of the original period features complemented by an architecturally designed extension at the rear to create stunning open plan living space further enhanced by a carefully planned basement conversion, both of which combine to create a superb family home set within beautiful landscaped grounds. The attractive front elevation features angular bay windows set beneath a traditional rendered gable alongside a decorative covered porch which incorporates the original panelled front door. The character is continued to the interior and includes spindle balustrade staircase, moulded architraves and coved cornices. The overall effect is enhanced by sash windows and impressive fireplaces.

The accommodation is tastefully decorated throughout and the elegant sitting room is generously proportioned with the focal point of a period style fireplace surround and wood burning stove set upon a stone hearth flanked by fitted dresser units. The exceptional family living space comprises spacious dining area and steps leading down to a stylish sitting room with sliding windows opening onto the stone paved rear terrace. The adjacent breakfast kitchen has been fitted with a range of contemporary units, Corian work surfaces and integrated appliances plus has the added advantage of a matching breakfast bar overlooking the manicured gardens. Importantly there is an adjacent pantry at basement level connected via a glass door and staircase from the kitchen.

Great care has been taken to construct a lower ground floor with enviable ceiling height and offers the opportunity to work from home or utilise as two additional reception rooms. Currently configured as a home office and remarkable cinema room plus well appointed cloakroom/WC.

At first floor level there are three excellent double bedrooms and luxurious family bathroom whilst the second floor has been replanned to establish an outstanding primary suite with fitted dressing room and sumptuous bathroom/WC complete with free standing bath and walk-in shower.

Gas fired central heating has been installed together with a pressurised hot water system, double glazing and data cabling.

The wonderful rear gardens are certainly a feature and benefit from a high degree of privacy with the use of mature screening and are laid mainly to lawn together with a full width stone paved terrace which is ideal for entertaining during the summer months. The driveway is approached beyond a remotely operated hardwood sliding gate and provides parking for several vehicles.

Positioned in the South Hale Conservation Area this helps ensure changes respect the area’s character and appearance and protects the local historic architecture. Ideally located just a few hundred yards from the village of Hale with its range of individual shops and fashionable restaurants and railway station providing a commuter service into Manchester. The property also lies within the catchment area of highly regarded primary and secondary schools and is equally well placed for the surrounding motorway network and Manchester international airport.
