***NO ONWARD CHAIN***
A well presented apartment positioned at third floor level with commanding views across The Cheshire Plain from the private south westerly facing balcony. Set within landscaped grounds in the heart of the Bowdon Conservation Area. The superbly proportioned accommodation is considerably larger than the average apartment at Church Bank and briefly comprises secure communal reception area, private entrance hall, dual aspect open plan sitting/dining room with feature fireplace, substantial mezzanine level, fitted breakfast kitchen with integrated appliances, spacious primary bedroom with en suite shower room/WC, additional double bedroom and shower room/WC. Gas fired central heating and PVCu double glazing. Double garage. Resident and visitor parking. Prestige location approx. equidistant from Hale village and Altrincham town centre.

This exclusive development lies within the heart of the Bowdon Conservation Area and in 2014 Church Bank was bestowed with Blue Plaque status. The setting is ideal with stunning tree lined views, professionally maintained grounds and importantly with 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. This well presented apartment is positioned at third floor level and offers exceptional far reaching views across The Cheshire Plain. A wide L-shaped entrance hall leads onto the naturally light dual aspect sitting/dining room through double opening doors and a spiral staircase provides access to the substantial mezzanine level with adjoining storage room. This spacious reception room features a fireplace alongside sliding windows which open onto the covered balcony and there is also ample space for a dining suite. The adjacent kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and a matching peninsula breakfast bar.

The superb primary suite comprises double bedroom with a comprehensive range of fitted furniture and en suite shower room/WC. A further double bedroom with built-in wardrobes is served by the shower room/WC.

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 a double garage has the added advantage of a remotely operated door.
