Hickton Drive, Altrincham, WA14 4LZ

When you think of Altrincham living, you think schools, tree lined roads, parks to explore, staggering distance to the Market Hall, transport links and active communities. Then when you think of Altrincham homes you think of generous detached properties ideal for family living done to a high standard throughout.

If I'm right and that's what you're thinking then you need to make sure to pay attention from here then! Hickton Drive sits proudly off Oldfield Road and comprises of around fourteen uniquely styled detached homes. These homes were firmly aimed at family living when they were designed and my vendors took this concept one step further and expertly extended their home several years ago maximising the plot. Now being off Oldfield Road you are walking distance from Dunham Forest Golf And Country Club and Mere Golf Resort And Spa is a ten minute drive away, if you fancy a stroll rather than a game though you're also close to Denzell Gardens, Dunham Massey and John Leigh Park. Let's be honest though the big draw of the location is the schooling with a range of desirable schools locally like Loretto Grammar School, Altrincham Grammar Schools and North Cestrian School all within walking distance. Those commuting also benefit from the Metrolink system, bus routes and easy access to the motorway networks both M60 and M56 making hubs such as Media City, the universities and hospitals easily accessible. The development itself benefits from a playing area tucked away in the middle as well that only the true locals know about.

The property itself has just as much to give as the local area though. As previously stated earlier the vendor did a brilliant job adding true balance to the living space by extended previously. Upon entering the home through the porch you can either enter the house or go into the converted garage. This home office space is ideal for those working from home or even those that commute but need an office away from the house when they come back, if I'm being honest though this really is the ideal snug to simply relax and catch up on Netflix away from the rest of the family! That being said if you are thinking of bringing parents to live with you or even teenagers you could look at potentially annexing this space to create a studio apartment given its size and scope to further expand into the storage space.

Into the home itself, you will be greeted by a sneak peak into the living, dining kitchen space. Once again with family living at the heart of the design you've got space for a large dining table, a sofa, an island as well a huge amount of built in storage and French doors into the garden space. The kitchen is a modern design and will appeal to most tastes and comes with all the appliances you would expect as well as other ones such a built in recycling bin! With a mix of windows and skylights the kitchen area is flooded with natural light. Without even exploring the other space you can just imagine the parties that would be hosted here along with the homework sessions at the island and many a family meal. There is scope to make this space work for you though - you could steal the living space away to incorporate into an annexe from the garage, you could swap the living space and dining space around to make space for a play area, you could even look to convert some of the space into further home office space but the versatility of the space is endless. Downstairs also has a traditional living room that goes onto the conservatory, this space flows well and could be perfect for families with kids of any age. 

Upstairs continues to hold its own though and stands out from the crowd with four double bedrooms with an en-suite off the first bedroom and a recently renovated family bathroom. This really is the dream mix though for families that have a mix of age groups and need the larger bedrooms after all no one likes a box room! But if you need yet more office space having four double bedrooms offers plenty of scope if you're a household with two people working from home.

Externally, you will be the envy of your neighbours with one of the largest plots that could be your very own green sanctuary in the suburbs. The garden is established and offers mature trees and shrubbery to make the garden feel secluded. It's perfectly proportioned to the house and has a little something for everyone. It's big enough for the kids to have a kick about, it's private enough to host the family BBQs and it has enough space for the teenagers to chase the sun! Again a lot of thought went into the garden, the same as with the extension, resulting in areas that offer BBQ'ing space, gardening space, playing areas and relaxing space.

Vendor's favourite features: "This has been the perfect family home for us, we've enjoyed being the owners over the last 20+ years and loved every minute of it (being only the second family owners since the new build). We've been able to apply our own style to our home and really hope people like the decor as much as we have. Hidden away around the corner of a quiet cul de sac, walking through the front door or around the back you would never know where we were and it’s given us that privacy that we just couldn't get with other detached properties locally. The large kitchen space has been great for us to enjoy our quality family time together - cooking, homeworking, chatting, watching films etc Not to mention the many parties around the kitchen island!”
