The annual service charge is fixed by a committee on a year to year basis, for any extraneous expenses which might need to be incurred.
Leave Altrincham by Ashley Road and at the roundabout, turn left into Hale Road. Continue along and after passing through the lights with Park Road/Delahays Road, turn next right into Hilltop. At the "T" junction, turn right into Bankhall Lane, following it straight across the sharp right hand bend into its continuation. The Merridale is a short way along on the left, seen by its own sign and timber gate.
This outstanding residence is uniquely designed and is located at the head of a private securely gated development, shared with a handful of other properties, making it particularly sought after and desirable. The design provides accommodation on various levels, as can be seen from the floor plan. The main reception rooms take full advantage of the very private southerly rear aspect the house enjoys. Versatility is the key here, with several bedroom suites allowing use for dependant relatives or teenagers, perhaps au pairs could use one or the self-contained apartment above the garage. There are 3 good reception rooms and 5 double bedrooms, each one with an en-suite. There is a sun terrace adjacent to a superbly fitted breakfast kitchen, in addition to a further sun deck running outside the living room on which sits a hot tub! Fantastic open views across farm fields can be enjoyed, whilst at the same time, you are only a few minutes drive from the centre of Hale.
