Property description
A most appealing and individual, bespoke Detached Family Home with a beautiful secluded south facing gardens with views over the Cheshire Plain.

Externally there is a wrought iron gate to a pathway leading to the front door and with a further gate leading down the side of the property to the side entrance door. The Driveway is wholly owned and titled with the property, with fully automated electric gates giving great security. There is access only right of way granted to 73 and 75 Langham Road to gain access to their parking areas to the rear of those houses. The driveway slopes to the rear of the plot of 71 Langham Road to a large Parking Courtyard to the far end of the Garden, with ample Parking for a large number of vehicles. This in turn leads to the 19'4' x 16'3' Detached Double Garage, built with matching reclaimed brick with slate roof and with electrically operated 'up and over' door. A wrought iron spiral staircase leads to a wood panelled door to the 14'6' x 8'8' Office, positioned in the roof space above the Garage with two double glazed skylight windows and with a door to a Wash Room providing a WC and wash hand basin. This gives the room potential to be used as an occasional Fifth Guest Bedroom. The Gardens to the property are a most attractive feature, the front having neatly tended areas of lawn retained within dwarf brick walling with arrowhead railings above. The Rear Garden is delightful and of an excellent size with paved path and Patio areas returning across the whole of the back of the house, accessed via the doors from the Lounge and Conservatory Day Room. Beyond this the Garden is laid to a good expanse of lawn, retained within deep borders of shrubs, bushes, trees and plants enclosed within brick walling and timber fencing. There is a most attractive backdrop of substantial trees within the boundaries of this and neighbouring properties providing excellent screening and a most appealing outlook. The elevated nature of the property provides far reaching views towards The Pennines and beyond. The Garden enjoys a directly South facing aspect providing sun in the Garden throughout the day. This lovely Garden completes an excellent and most individual family home. Agents Planning Notes Outline planning detail was also sought with Trafford BC in late 2013, to increase size of separate double garage/self contained office with WC, to extend and convert into a one bedroomed apartment. A positive written response from Trafford BC is available for any prospective purchaser to view and/or follow up further if required. Full planning permission has been previously granted ( now expired ) for a full extension at rear of house, drawings available and there were no objections at the time of this application.
