A spacious and beautifully presented duplex apartment with private courtyard garden. Positioned in an exclusive gated development a short distance from the village of Hale and within close proximity to the Bollin Valley. The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises private entrance hall, dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances, utility room/WC, primary bedroom with dressing room and en suite bathroom/WC, two further bedrooms and family bathroom/WC. Lower ground floor comprising sitting room, living room with French windows to the paved rear terrace, gym, study and cloakroom/WC. Gas fired central heating and double glazing. Resident parking and garages. Tree lined landscaped grounds with a southerly and westerly aspect.

Woodcote is a prestigious development of just five spacious apartments standing within mature tree lined grounds in a highly favoured location just a few hundred yards from the village of Hale. Remotely operated wrought iron gates lead onto a resident parking area and each of the individual garages. The recently improved contemporary entrance is approached beyond an enclosed vestibule and communal reception area with lift and glass balustrade staircase to all floors.

The exceptionally well presented accommodation is arranged over two floors at ground and lower ground levels and provides well balanced living space combined with quality fittings. The current owners have commissioned several upgrades since taking possession including a replanned courtyard garden with raised flower beds and secluded paved terrace which is ideal for entertaining during the summer months. Importantly with a southerly aspect to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day.

Immediately upon entering the apartment there is a feeling of space with the impressive private entrance hall opening onto a naturally light and superbly proportioned dual aspect dining room. The adjacent breakfast kitchen has been refitted with contemporary matt grey units complemented by quartz work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances. In addition to a separate utility room/WC there is also a cloaks/storage cupboard positioned off the entrance hall. The remarkable primary suite comprises generous double bedroom, fitted dressing room and sumptuous bathroom/WC complete with separate shower enclosure. There are two further double bedrooms and luxurious family bathroom/WC featuring a separate shower enclosure.

A stylish staircase from the dining room provides access to the lower ground floor where an elegant sitting room opens onto an unusually large living room through double opening doors. This elegant reception room features French windows to the private paved rear terrace and large areas of glazing create a naturally light interior. There is also a substantial room currently used as a gym and the study may prove invaluable for those who choose to work from home. Completing the lower level is a cloakroom/WC alongside provision for storage.

Gas fired central heating has been installed together with double glazing throughout.

Externally to the side and rear of the property the beautifully landscaped shared gardens are laid mainly to lawn with stone paved pathways and well stocked borders and a variety of surrounding mature trees combine to create an attractive setting. Furthermore, the garage benefits from a remotely operated door.

The area is well placed for access to the surrounding network of motorways and within the catchment area of highly regarded primary and secondary schools. As previously stated Hale village lies a few hundred yards to the north with its range of individual shops, restaurants and wine bars and train station. In the opposite direction there are walks within the green belt of the River Bollin Valley.
