A fine Victorian detached residence standing in a slightly elevated position with exceptional grounds extending to approximately ½ an acre.

Orchard House has been refurbished to an exacting standard by the current owners with beautiful contemporary fittings complemented by features typical of the era. The accommodation incorporates rooms of generous proportions and great care has been taken to retain much of the original character enhanced by tall ceilings, coved cornices and decorative architraves alongside attractive fireplaces.

The tree lined position is ideal with the shopping centre of Altrincham approximately ½ a mile distance with its highly popular Market Hall which 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. Beyond the town centre is the fashionable village of Hale with its range of restaurants, wine bars and individual shops. Nearby is the outstanding Loreto Grammar School with Altrincham Girls and Boys Grammar Schools being other highly regarded educational institutions in the locality as are the primary and preparatory schools.

Approached beyond double opening doors, a stunning entrance hall with turned spindle balustrade staircase beneath an ornamental archway leads onto a spacious sitting room with interesting bay window and the focal point of an impressive period style fireplace. In addition, a separate reception room with ample space for a dining suite is well suited to receive formal guests. Positioned to the rear a remarkable, naturally light open plan living space incorporates a bespoke hand painted Shaker style kitchen with integrated appliances, quartz work surfaces and matching centre island beside a generous sitting area with three sets of double opening doors to the full width veranda, which is perfect for entertaining during the summer months. There is also an adjacent utility room, office and WC.

The basement, although not fully converted, has been utilised to include a games room with provision for an en suite shower room/WC, home gym and large chamber currently used for storage. There is much further potential and separate access at the side allows an incoming purchaser the opportunity to create a self contained suite, subject to obtaining the relevant approval.

At first floor level the elegant master suite comprises dual aspect double bedroom, fitted dressing room and luxurious en suite with free standing bath and walk-in shower. There are two further double bedrooms benefitting from en suite facilities, an additional double bedroom and sumptuous family bathroom.

To the second floor there are two double bedrooms served by a marble tiled bathroom and an excellent office which may prove invaluable for those who choose to work from home.

Gas fired central heating, a pressurised hot water system and underfloor heating to the ground floor has been installed together with double glazing throughout, CAT5 data cabling and full security alarm system..

Externally the rear gardens are laid mainly to lawn with a sympathetically designed veranda and mature flower beds surrounded by a variety of mature trees all of which combines to create a delightful setting, importantly with a southerly aspect to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. The sweeping driveway offers parking for several vehicles to both sides and there is a detached brick built double garage.
