A further insight

Hale Barns is a prestigious village with excellent schools, and is a convenient distance from Altrincham and Manchester, with their wide choice of cultural and leisure pursuits. Whilst the easy access to the motorway and the airport is perfect for the commuter.

An old house was demolished to make way for Garden House – built in 2006, which is an aesthetically pleasing building. Designed and built to the highest of standards, it functions as a stunning family home and a fabulous entertaining venue.

Immediately you step into the hallway and look down to the dining area and then follow the easy flow of the chic ground floor reception rooms, you are aware that this is a very special family home. There is a sense of occasion in the more formal sitting room but you can also settle down for a leisurely night in the TV room.

This spacious home is awash with natural light creating a positive ambience, which culminates in the entertaining area, a celebration of glass, and sophisticated design. In a home that has many wow factors the entertaining area is the ultimate feature.

The kitchen and conservatory blend into this area to form a place of harmony and relaxation throughout the year. In the summer it becomes one with the garden and the outside fireplace enhances a winter barbecue. It is only a few steps from here to the tub house with its sauna and the Jacuzzi that seats seven people. Sipping wine under the stars or with the doors open to the garden, it is a place to unwind and appreciate your surroundings.

With six en suite bedrooms it is easy to accommodate overnight visitors and avoid morning queues. The house was designed to include an integral, completely self contained two bedroom flat for an elderly relative. This large flat has its own entrance but is an adaptable space that could be reconfigured as part of the house, if required.

The large, child friendly garden is laid mainly to lawn, and the front garden has electric gates with room for at least four vehicles. If you take an evening stroll to the end of the garden and look back at the house, the soft lights give a welcoming glow that sums up the warmth and hospitable spirit of Garden House.
