Dorset Road, Altrincham

Designed by an architect for his own family in 1968, this detached four-bedroom house retains many original period details and offers approximately 3,550 sq ft of accommodation. Set on a plot of around 0.58 acres in a cul-de-sac, it is being sold with no onward chain and is described as requiring modernisation and refurbishment. The ground floor includes a wide entrance hall, a dual-aspect sitting room, separate dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen, utility room, music room and study. A basement games room provides additional space. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite, and a family bathroom. The property also has an air conditioning system, gas-fired water heating and double glazing. Outside, the rear garden includes a lawn, mature trees, established borders and a covered paved terrace. There is a driveway, an attached double garage and a gardeners’ WC. The listing notes historic planning permission for substantial development granted on appeal in 2008, but purchasers should check its current status and scope. Any redevelopment or alterations would require the relevant approvals, and planning feasibility would need to be verified. Altrincham town centre is stated to be less than a mile away on foot, with Metrolink services to Manchester and John Leigh Park also nearby. The property is within the stated catchment area for local primary and secondary schools.
