Description: Rowchester is an exclusive development of just three luxury apartments; in our opinion, they are the finest luxury apartments that exist in Hale and Bowdon. Privately developed in 2016 each apartment is finished to a standard rarely seen in the UK outside of London. None of the apartments has subsequently changed hands.
Everything from the stylish floor finishes, where different materials meet seamlessly and complement one another, to the discreet satin finish air conditioning vents, has been carefully selected to ensure a timeless design of the highest quality.
Specialist joiners and cabinet makers were commissioned to design and specify all of the internal woodwork, including rarely seen full height floor to ceiling internal doors, skirtings, architraves and a full range of fitted furniture throughout the apartment, all finished in stylish walnut veneer. The creation of a bespoke study with its two matching curved fitted desks, book shelving and fitted furniture is the standout feature of the joinery work.
The thriving Village of Hale is a short distance from the property. The Village has a range of independent shops that cater for all everyday needs. Grocery shopping is over provided for in the village as there is a Tesco, Sainsbury’s and an M&S food store. There is a village Post Office, chemist and bakery. The Village also offers a range of specialist shops and boutiques and several restaurants, bars, and takeaways. Hale Barns village, with a Waitrose store opening in Autumn 2026, is half a mile away and the regenerated market town of Altrincham is just 1½ miles away.
For the commuter easy access is gained to the Northwest Motorway network with access to both the M6 and M56 within minutes from the apartment while Manchester’s International Airport lies only 8 minutes away by car.
Whilst the floor plan and photographs accompanying this description will give potential purchasers a feel for the property, only an internal viewing will allow buyers to fully appreciate its appeal, understand the versatility of its accommodation layout, the extent of its grounds, ample parking, privacy and security.
