'Dunham Knoll' is a fine and very substantial gentleman's detached residence situated in one of the areas most sought after locations and standing in its own magnificent grounds extending in total to approximately 1.24 of an acre. There are very few houses of this magnitude remaining in the area and overall the house extends to approximately 10,500 sq. ft. or thereabouts and is arranged across three floors plus a basement.
'Dunham Knoll' is well set back from the road and enjoys tremendous privacy and is approached through electrically operated entrance gates into a very substantial forecourt with extensive parking space for literally dozens of vehicles if required. There is an attached double garage and a separate detached three car garage with a large room above. We understand that our clients applied for planning permission in 2002 for the creation of an indoor leisure facility which was granted but has subsequently expired - detailed plans are available at our Hale office for inspection by interested parties.
The house would ideally suit occupation by one or even two families or could be utilised as a headquarters building if so desired, subject of course to any necessary consents being obtained.
A very rare opportunity and we invite you to contact us to arrange a private viewing. LOCATION The property is situated in one of the most sought after locations in South Manchester, peaceful and yet very convenient for access to the motorway network which is just a few minutes away by car. Shopping facilities are well catered for in both Altrincham and Hale where many of the well known multiples are represented. There are many good schools in the area to suite children of all ages, some of which are within walking distance of the property. DIRECTIONS From our Hale office travel along Ashley Road over the railway crossing to the traffic lights. Continue straight across onto Stamford Road and travel to the top of Stamford Road and turn right at the bollards just after The Griffin public house onto The Firs. Travel along The Firs and immediately after the synagogue on your right turn left at the bollards into St. Margarets Road. Take the first left into Groby Road which merges into Cavendish Road on the right and the property can be seen a little way along on the right hand side.
