This property is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment located in the highly sought-after area of Bowdon, Trafford. The apartment is part of a development situated on The Firs, a prestigious street, near to the Bowdon Croquet Club and boasting well-maintained communal gardens. The provided images show a relatively clean and well-kept interior, though the decor and fixtures are quite dated and appear to be in need of some level of modernization. The kitchen and bathroom, in particular, suggest the possibility of updating. The living area is spacious and open plan. The bedrooms have built in wardrobes. The property also benefits from access to communal gardens providing a pleasant outdoor space. Proximity to excellent schools such as Altrincham Grammar School for Girls and Bowdon Cofe Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted) is a significant advantage, adding to the property’s family-friendliness. Transport links are also favorable, with Hale and Altrincham train stations easily accessible, offering convenient commutes to Manchester and beyond. While the listing price of £395,000 may be acceptable based on location, a buyer should factor in potential renovation costs to bring the property up to contemporary standards. The lack of private garden space and the relatively smaller overall footprint compared to detached houses in the area should be duly noted.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
