Offers Over £75,000 Ref. GF5088
Description
Ground floor premises forming part of a mid-19th century terraced category B listed property providing accommodation on two principal floors plus attic level.
The property is of whinstone construction with pitched roofs clad in slate incorporating two dormer window projections to the attic level of the front elevation.
There are stone chimney stacks to each party wall elevation.
The front elevation has a traditional fascia providing a double fronted unit with central access door accessed via two steps up from pavement level. This unit occupies the ground floor of a two storey building fronting Halliwell’s close to the rear which is believed to date to around 1800. This part of the building is built of good quality whinstone with a painted finish to the ground level.
On the opposite side of the close there is a single storey lean to structure of whinstone construction under a hipped roof clad in slate. This structure appears to have been refurbished in recent years with new roof timbers sarked and re-slated. It provides a storage area with timber panelled doors providing access of the close.
