Characterful Georgian family home on the market for £850k

Located in Old Bowdon, the four-bedroom property at The Ridge, Richmond Road, is listed for £850,000 by estate agent Watersons.

The home offers approximately 1,850 square feet of living space spread across four floors and features traditional period details alongside modern comforts.

In keeping with its Georgian heritage, the house features high ceilings, an entrance hall with a fanlight window and a central spindled staircase connecting each level.

Watersons said: "A really interesting and enormously attractive Georgian Terraced Property with versatile accommodation arranged over four floors, extending to approximately 1850 square feet and positioned literally right in the heart of ‘Old Bowdon’."

The ground floor includes a lounge with an ornate fireplace and corniced ceiling, alongside a dining kitchen that opens onto a courtyard garden.

The lower ground floor houses a sitting room, laundry area, utility space and guest toilet.

The first floor features the principal bedroom with Georgian paned windows, a second bedroom that could serve as a dressing room, and a spacious family bathroom.

Two further double bedrooms are located on the second floor, both with built-in wardrobes and far-reaching views — one toward Bowdon Church and the other overlooking the rear aspect.

The estate agent added: "The property has attractive character features retained to include high cornice ceilings and attractive multi-paned sash windows and is well-maintained and presented throughout, but also offers the opportunity for the incoming purchaser to update and improve to their own specification."

The front garden is stone-paved with steps leading to the entrance, while the rear of the property is accessed via West Road through a remote-controlled gated entrance shared with one other home.

Off-street parking is available for at least two vehicles, in addition to a detached brick-built garage.

Watersons said: "The property is deceptive, not only in its accommodation but also in its plot since it has a shared vehicle access to the rear of the property, providing off-street parking for at least two vehicles in addition to a garage as well as courtyard garden areas.

"A path leads down the side of the garage to a walled courtyard garden with stocked borders and paving and a useful garden store."

The setting places the property close to the historic Griffin and Stamford Arms pubs and within easy reach of Bowdon Church.
