Description
Number 4 Gaskell Avenue is one of two attached Grade II listed houses, located close to the entrance of the road and that were built in the early part of the 19th Century. The properties are both of brick construction with slate roofs, attractive round-arched doorways, 6-panelled doors and charming 16-pane sash windows.
The house requires a scheme of improvement, and offers deceptively spacious accommodation extending to in excess of 2000 sq ft, laid over three floors, including a large basement complex which could provide an opportunity for conversion subject to obtaining necessary permission.
On the ground floor level there are three principal reception rooms, plus a fitted kitchen with an adjoining utility room and WC.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms in all, one of which is accessed from another and would ideally be converted into a master bedroom suite, with the family bathroom located off the landing.
Unusually, for a period house in such a central location there is a large mature garden located to the rear, which is enclosed to all sides by brick walls, laid mostly to lawn, with an area of stone flagged patio at the rear of the house.
The property benefits from on street parking, which is limited to resident permit holders.
