About
Millway Cottage is a “Hidden Gem” a delightful, detached house located in a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Hale Barns village which has been greatly improved and immaculately maintained by the current owners who have been in residence for over 40 years.
The cottage boasts beautiful south facing landscaped gardens to the rear, well-tended and stocked with a huge variety of flowering plants, trees and shrubs, including a mature wisteria on the rear wall of the cottage which flowers twice a year.
With mature trees and shrubs on the boundaries, the gardens enjoy a very high level of privacy as they are not overlooked.
Internally the accommodation, which is ideal for a space hungry couple, extends to over 1700 square feet of living space, excluding the garage, which is beautifully presented throughout.
Huge potential exists, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents, to enlarge the accommodation, especially at first floor level, either by way of raising the roof over the 1st floor sitting room/bedroom four or by way of an extension over and to the rear of the attached double garage, should a growing family wish to purchase the house with an eye on extending the house in the future.
Potential viewers should note that the bathroom facility is currently located on the ground floor, in the form of a recently re fitted high quality shower room.
There is however a second toilet facility at first floor level and potential exists to create a second bathroom facility at first floor level in the space currently occupied by the 3rd bedroom, which would only require building regulation approval and sign off.
Hale Barns has long been regarded as a popular and sought after area in which to live.
It has a small village (less than 0.5miles) centre with a supermarket, Costa Coffee, a pharmacy, and some specialist shops.
More comprehensive shops that cater for all every day needs are available in the well-known and highly regarded nearby centres of Hale Village, 7 minutes by car, (2 miles) and Altrincham town centre, 8 minutes (2.5miles).
The property is situated in the borough of Trafford and within the catchment area of some of the region’s best schools.
For the commuter, easy access is gained to junction 6 of the M56 (0.3miles) which has direct access into Manchester city centre to the north and to the south direct access to the M6.
Manchester Airport, the UK’s 3rd largest international airport, is convenient and yet there is no over flying as Hale Barns is not on the flight path due to its location to the West of the runways.
All in all, this a fantastic well maintained and immaculately presented home which is ready to move into, located in a highly regarded and sought after location.
We strongly recommend an early internal inspection. Council Tax Band = F EPC Rating = TBC Tenure = Freehold
