A 'HANDSOME' grade-II listed Georgian townhouse has been put up for sale.

The four-bed property in Gaskell Avenue sits a short walk from Knutsford town centre and occupies a 'wonderful position' opposite the Little Heath.

Boasting spacious accommodation over four floors, the home has been extended, altered and improved upon over the year.

It is being marketed by Stuart Rushton & Co for £1,050,000.

A property listing on Rightmove says: "Gaskell Avenue is an exceptional road - these impressive and surprisingly large grade-II listed Georgian homes form part of the centre piece of the town.

"Intrinsically linked to Knutsford’s history, they enjoy a wonderful aspect overlooking the Little Heath at the front, with good-sized, private lawned gardens to the rear, and on street parking with residents permits, available for two cars per household.

"An impressive entrance hall gives access to two substantial ground floor reception rooms, a main sitting room with original shutters and a lovely period fireplace, and a large dining room, which is open to a spacious kitchen/dining/living room.

"French doors lead from the kitchen area to a small rear courtyard and onto a larger entertaining terrace and the good-sized lawned garden beyond.

"The bedrooms are laid out over two upper floors - the main bedroom sits to the front with two windows overlooking the Little Heath, and has an en suite shower room.

"There are two further bedrooms on this level sharing a family bathroom and on the upper floor, accessed via a staircase from the landing is the fourth bedroom with an adjacent shower room."
