Ideal location approximately one quarter of a mile from the award winning town centre of Altrincham.
This exceptionally spacious and well-presented first floor apartment is exclusively available to residents aged 55 and forms part of a highly regarded retirement development. Offering considerably more accommodation than many comparable flats, the property extends to approximately 1,200 sq ft and features a private covered balcony with commanding tree-lined views.
The setting is particularly appealing and combines a peaceful residential environment with the convenience of Altrincham town centre, which lies just a few hundred yards to the east. There is an excellent range of independent shops, everyday amenities, restaurants and cafés, together with the extremely popular Market Hall. In addition, Altrincham Interchange provides convenient Metrolink connections across Greater Manchester.
The apartment occupies a particularly desirable position and benefits from a wonderful sense of light and space throughout. The private balcony creates an attractive extension to the living accommodation and enjoys a leafy outlook over the communal gardens.
Internally, the private entrance hall has provision for storage and double opening doors lead into the impressive dual aspect open-plan sitting/dining room which provides an excellent environment for both relaxing and entertaining. Furthermore, there is direct access to the aforementioned balcony through French windows. The adjacent kitchen has been thoughtfully refitted in a contemporary Shaker style with attractive cabinetry complemented by marble-effect work surfaces and a range of integrated appliances.
The primary bedroom suite is generously proportioned and incorporates a dedicated dressing area with an extensive range of wardrobes, a walk-in linen closet and adjoining shower room/WC. A further double bedroom with built-in wardrobes serves as an excellent guest bedroom or could readily be utilised as a separate reception room, study or hobby room, depending upon individual requirements and completing the accommodation is a bathroom/WC.
Electric heating has been installed together with PVCu double glazing throughout.
Residents also benefit from a concierge service, lift access to all floors and an under-croft car park.
