Altrincham received its market charter in 1290, the Bridgewater Canal reached the town in 1765, and the railway arrived in 1849, bringing Manchester commuters and more than doubling the population between 1851 and 1881. That railway-era growth brought terraces and semi-detached houses, while neighbouring Bowdon became known for large villas built by Manchester’s merchant families. From compact terraces to grand Victorian staircases, we survey every home before recommending a stairlift.
