***NO ONWARD CHAIN*** This exclusive development lies within the heart of the Bowdon Conservation Area and in 2014 Church Bank was bestowed with Blue Plaque status to commemorate Edward Kinder Bradbury who was born here and awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery in the First World War. The setting is ideal with stunning tree lined views across the professionally maintained grounds and importantly with the benefit of a private balcony and south westerly aspect to enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine.

The apartment is supremely placed approximately equidistant between the village of Hale with its range of fashionable restaurants, bars and train station and the shopping centre of Altrincham with its highly popular Market Hall and Metrolink station which provides a commuter service into Manchester. The position is also ideal for access to the surrounding network of motorways and Manchester Airport. In addition, Dunham Massey Park and Hall is one mile distance to the west and local shops are available within easy reach on Vicarage Lane.

Approached beyond a covered porch, the secure communal reception area has recently been refurbished with both staircase and lift providing access to the upper floors. Improved by the current owners, this superbly presented apartment is positioned at first floor level and features a wide L-shaped entrance hall with double opening doors leading onto the naturally light dual aspect sitting/dining room. This spacious reception room features an attractive stone fireplace surround and contemporary fire framed in chrome alongside sliding windows opening onto the covered balcony and a clearly defined dining area. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with Shaker style units complemented by polished granite work-surfaces and enhanced by integrated appliances and a matching peninsula breakfast bar.

The superb primary suite comprises double bedroom with bespoke fitted furniture and excellent en suite shower room/WC. A further double bedroom with built-in wardrobes is served by the luxurious fully tiled bathroom/WC complete with separate walk-in shower and new bathtub.

Gas fired central heating has been installed together with PVCu double glazing throughout and there are valuable internal storage areas.

Externally resident and visitor parking is available and importantly a single garage has the added advantage of a remotely operated door.
