Standing in private formal gardens of about half an acre this
substantial detached dormer bungalow extends to about 2,700sq ft
and offers flexible living space over two floors with a long
tarmacadam driveway and detached double garage. Whilst now
requiring some straight forward modernisation we also believe that
the site has huge development potential and as with many other
properties along the town's premier road, subject to planning
permission a substantial newer property could be constructed.
LOCATION
The property is within close reach of the cosmopolitan town of
Knutsford, an old market town rich in heritage and brimming with a
variety of architectural features, particularly those built in an
Italianate Tuscan style by the famous local architect, Richard
Harding Watt. Linked by a web of ginnels, cobbles and courtyards,
the two main streets are home to a variety of shops ranging from
boutiques to antique shops, purveyors of fine wines and chocolate
to art galleries and interior design specialists. There are
however, a few familiar sites of larger multiple retail supermarket
outlets, including Booths and Boots. Evenings in Knutsford are very
lively with many fine wine bars, pubs and restaurants catering for
most tastes. For the outdoor enthusiast, Knutsford borders some of
Cheshire's most beautiful countryside and has the famous Tatton
Park Country Estate on its doorstep with its Regency mansion,
glorious gardens, traditional farm and medieval old hall. The town
centre offers Leisure Centre facilities as well as numerous private
sporting clubs and notable golf courses within easy reach. For the
commuter, access to the nearby North West motorway network is
readily available, as is Manchester International Airport and the
rail station has links to Chester and Manchester. Excellent
education facilities cater for children of most ages in both the
state and private sectors.
