About this home
It is becoming increasingly rare to be able to acquire one of the original houses on Gaddum Road that has not been recently extended and refurbished, especially one that enjoys such an enviable position on the road. We therefore have no doubt that the availability of 23 Gaddum Road will excite a great deal of interest and would strongly recommend that buyers waste no time in arranging a viewing.
Although the house would benefit from a programme of refurbishment, it is perfectly habitable so buyers looking for a home that they can move into and improve over time will be just as interested as those purchasers who are looking for a home that, subject to planning consent, they can extend, remodel, and refurbish, dramatically enlarge and still retain large gardens.
In our opinion, this house sits in one of the best positions on this sought after road, set well back from the road with a wide frontage and with an excellent sized back garden which is not overlooked. Located approximately halfway down the road on the left, the slight bend on the road means that the plot is both wider and deeper at the front, and it sits opposite the entrance to Stanhope Road so has a pleasant outlook to the front.
Although we are promoting the house as one which will appeal to those buyers looking for a redevelopment / refurbishment project because of its great potential, the house in its current form is well maintained and fully functional.
A family, who would prefer to take the step up to the next level and acquire a four bedroomed detached family house with a large garden that they can live in and enjoy now, with a view to carrying out improvements and alterations over time once their budget permits, will be especially interested in this house.
Gaddum Road is a highly regarded residential road that runs between Bow Green Road and Bow Lane, a road with only detached family homes, many of which have been extended and refurbished. Some of the best houses on the road are valued at circa £1.75m. Huge potential therefore exists for any buyer to profit from their improvements and add value and appeal to an already highly desirable family home.
The house is within easy walking distance of both Altrincham Boys Grammar School and Altrincham Girls Grammar School. Bowdon Church School and the Bollin Primary School are just around the corner.
Schooling for children of all ages, both in the state and private sector, is very well provided for locally, with Altrincham Grammar School for Boys and Altrincham Grammar School for Girls being a short walk from the property. Other local schools are Loreto Grammar and Saint Ambrose College. There are outstanding private preparatory schools with Hale Prep and Altrincham Prep and Bowdon Prep on the doorstep as well as excellent state junior schools all of which are highly rated including Bowdon Church school, Bollin Primary School and Stamford Park Primary school.. of which there are several. Local school bus routes run to some of the oldest and finest Private schools, such as The Manchester Grammar School, Withington Girls School, and Manchester High School for Girls.
Hale Village lies just over a mile (5 minute drive) away, with Altrincham’s popular Market Quarter a similar distance. The pleasant centre of Old Bowdon and the convenience of Bowdon Vale are a short walk away.
The thriving Village of Hale has a range of independent shops that cater for all everyday needs. Grocery shopping is comprehensively 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, hardware store and bakery. The village also offers a range of specialist shops and boutiques, and several restaurants, bars, and takeaways. The regenerated market town of Altrincham in addition to its famous market quarter has Metrolink station with high frequency services into Manchester City Centre and beyond.
