About
The Cedars is a magnificent Victorian semi detached Villa standing in large private west facing gardens on one of the region’s most sought after and prestigious residential roads within the Bowdon Conservation Area.
In the 1850’s two very substantial pairs of white rendered Semi Detached period homes were constructed, at the same time as several other Grand Houses in the area of St Mary’s Church in Old Bowdon at the top of Stamford Road, for the wealthy industrialists of Manchester’s thriving City Centre.
Today many of these properties have been converted into luxury apartments, including the neighbouring pair of Villas.
However, one of the two pairs of villas, the pair nearest to Green Walk, remain today as substantial family homes.
Westhill which was last sold in 2022 and The Cedars, which has been in the same ownership for over 20 years and is one of the most admired homes on Green Walk.
We are therefore delighted to have been chosen to handle the sale of The Cedars and look forward to being able to show interested purchasers at first hand the many appealing features of this magnificent house.
Original period features and design elements of the era are evidenced throughout the house: very high ceilings, with ornate cornicing, huge three quarter height sash windows, some with working shutters, tall skirting boards and panelled doors, all within beautifully proportioned grand reception rooms.
The ground floor accommodation is arranged around a large and welcoming reception hall with its feature wide tread return staircase with original balustrading, polished handrail and newel posts, providing access to the two upper floors.
There are 3 large double bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor, with a further 3 on the second floor, in addition to two ancillary rooms which could be converted to additional bathrooms.
All in all, the accommodation extends to 6275 sq ft (583 sq metres) including the basement, several chambers within which have been converted to provide useful additional living space.
Outside there is a detached triple garage in front of which is a large parking and turning area accessed from Green Walk by a gated entrance. The large gardens, extending to approx.
0.42 of an acre, enjoy a Southerly and Westerly aspect and a high level of privacy.
Green Walk is known as one of the area’s most prestigious roads, a no through road close to Hale and Altrincham in Old Bowdon.
Homes with a value in excess of £10m exist on this road, luxury apartments with values in excess of £3m, an exclusive tennis club, access to the large recreational open space known as The Devisdale Conservation Area.
At the A556 end of Green Walk, which is a no through road, you can cross the road on foot and walk across Dunham Forest Golf Course footpaths and through into the Earl of Stamford’s Dunham Park estate owned by the National Trust.
The Village of Hale and the market Town of Altrincham are both within easy walking distance of the property, as are some of the best state primary and secondary schools in the North West and several very highly regarded private schools.
For the commuter easy access is gained to the Northwest Motorway network with access to both the M6 and M56 within minutes from the house while Manchester’s International Airport lies only 10 mins away by car.
