East Downs Road, Bowdon, Altrincham, Greater Manchester WA14

Impressive period townhouse in a popular location with the benefit of a detached garage.

Description
An elegant Victorian townhouse occupying one of Bowdon's most prestigious and sought-after addresses, enjoying beautifully proportioned accommodation extending to over 4,000 sq ft, together with attractive gardens to the front and rear and the rare benefit of a detached garage.

Set back from the road behind a lawned front garden, this handsome period residence has been sympathetically updated over the years whilst retaining a wealth of original architectural features, complemented by impressive ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light throughout.

The accommodation is arranged across four principal floors. The ground floor is perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining, comprising two generous reception rooms, including a magnificent bay-fronted drawing room overlooking the front garden. To the rear, the dining kitchen forms the heart of the home, with direct access to the rear garden.

The first floor is dedicated in part to an exceptional principal suite extending across the full width of the property. Two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The second floor provides three additional double bedrooms, one benefitting from an en suite shower room, together with a separate WC and washroom. Of particular note, the front-facing bedroom enjoys spectacular panoramic views which, on clear days, stretch as far as Jodrell Bank.

At lower ground level, the property offers four substantial basement chambers with excellent ceiling heights, providing extensive storage and exciting potential for conversion into ancillary living, leisure or home-working accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for ease of maintenance and outdoor entertaining, with direct access from the kitchen. A brick-built garage, accessed via South Road, provides valuable off-street parking and storage.
