Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold (953 years remaining)
An unusually spacious ground floor apartment set within an exclusive tree lined development adjacent to Bowdon Croquet Club and with beautiful communal gardens. The accommodation briefly comprises recessed porch, communal reception area, private entrance hall, spacious triple aspect open plan sitting/dining room, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, primary bedroom and en suite shower room/WC, further double bedroom and bathroom/WC. Gas fired central heating and PVCu double glazing. Garage. Resident and visitor parking. Ideal location approximately half a mile to the town centre.

Newington Court is a select development of just twelve apartments and forms part of one of the most highly favoured locations within the Bowdon Conservation Area. The Firs has long been sought after, not least because of the attractive tree lined setting and local Croquet Club. In addition, the shopping centre of Altrincham is approximately half a mile distance with its highly popular Market Hall which contains a variety of establishments including small independent retailers and informal dining options. The Metrolink station provides a commuter service into Manchester and the area is well placed for the surrounding network of motorways. Equally just a little further is the fashionable village of Hale with its range of restaurants, wine bars and individual shops.

Positioned at ground floor level there are superb views over the beautifully maintained grounds in a southerly and westerly direction and the delightful communal gardens are certainly a feature being laid mainly to lawn, unusually large and bordered by a variety of mature trees.

Approached beyond a recessed porch and elegant communal reception area the interior is superbly proportioned and tastefully decorated throughout. The private entrance hall has provision for storage and double opening doors lead onto the naturally light reception rooms. With the focal point of a period style fireplace surround and marble hearth the spacious sitting room is separated by an archway from the adjacent dining room which is ideal for formal entertaining and the generous kitchen features a range of integrated appliances alongside a peninsula breakfast bar. The primary bedroom benefits from a range of bespoke fitted furniture and en suite shower room/WC whilst a further double bedroom is also complemented by modern fitted wardrobes. Completing the accommodation is a bathroom/WC with white suite and chrome fittings.

Gas fired central heating has been installed together with PVCu double glazing.

Externally there is resident and visitor parking and importantly a garage with remotely operated door.

Viewing is highly recommended.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on September 13, 2024

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 13, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
