Cranford Avenue is a particularly desirable and very popular tree lined road comprising predominantly Victorian terraced properties situated on the edge of the Conservation area within a short flat walk of the heath and the town centre. Over more recent years the property has been refurbished to a good standard and wherever possible original features have been retained but a clever loft conversion now provides accommodation over three floors. As described below there are now three double bedrooms served by a large bathroom from the first floor. Outside there is a walled enclosed courtyard garden which has been flagged for ease of maintenance with two small outbuildings which in all is not directly overlooked.
LOCATION
The property is within a short flat walk of the cosmopolitan town of Knutsford, an old market town rich in heritage and brimming with a variety of architectural features, particularly those built in an Italianate Tuscan style by the famous local architect, Richard Harding Watt. Linked by a web of ginnels, cobbles and courtyards, the two main streets are home to a variety of shops ranging from boutiques to antique shops, purveyors of fine wines and chocolate to art galleries and interior design specialists. There are however, a few familiar sites of larger multiple retail supermarket outlets, including Booths and Boots. Evenings in Knutsford are very lively with many fine wine bars, pubs and restaurants catering for most tastes. For the outdoor enthusiast, Knutsford borders some of Cheshire's most beautiful countryside and has the famous Tatton Park Country Estate on its doorstep with its Regency mansion, glorious gardens, traditional farm and medieval old hall. The town centre offers Leisure Centre facilities as well as numerous private sporting clubs and notable golf courses within easy reach. For the commuter, access to the nearby North West motorway network is readily available, as is Manchester International Airport and the rail station has links to Chester and Manchester. Excellent education facilities cater for children of most ages in both the state and private sectors.
DIRECTIONS
From the roundabout in Canute Square travel along Gaskell Avenue crossing Stanley Road onto Cranford Avenue. After passing Cranford Square on your left the property will soon be seen on your left.
