Careline system, House Manager, Residents Lounge and Guest Suite. Electric heating and double glazing. Resident and Visitor parking. Ideal location. Delightful tree lined communal grounds.

Springbank is an attractive development completed by McCarthy & Stone and stands in a slightly elevated position within mature tree lined grounds. A little over a ¼ mile distance is the village of Hale with its range of individual shops and restaurants and a little further is the more comprehensive shopping centre of Altrincham with its highly popular Market Hall and Metrolink station providing a regular service into Manchester and the surrounding areas.

The development features a Resident House Manager, Careline 24 hour system within the apartment, well appointed residents lounge, kitchen, laundry and guest suite that may be reserved for visiting friends and relatives.

Importantly the accommodation has been redecorated with the benefit of new carpets throughout. The interior has been carefully planned and the unusually spacious entrance hall has ample provision for storage. With the focal point of a period style fireplace surround, the naturally light dual aspect sitting room enjoys views over neighbouring playing fields and the fitted kitchen features a range of integrated appliances. There are commanding tree lined views across the gardens and completing the interior is a superbly proportioned double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern shower room/WC.

Importantly the apartment occupies a superb position at first floor level with an electric heating system and double glazing has been installed throughout.

Externally there are both residents and visitors parking areas and beautifully manicured grounds.
