NO ONWARD CHAIN

22 Gainsborough Court forms part of a Grade II Listed building, originally constructed in the early 19th century as part of the Skipton Workhouse, which later became Skipton Raikeswood hospital. The conversion to dwellings was completed in the 1900's.

Gainsborough Court is a hidden gem, tucked in a quiet corner of this highly regarded development where houses do not come onto the market very often. The town house conversion offers spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over three storeys, benefitting from all mains services including gas-fired central heating, double glazing throughout, and both a private and communal garden.

The entrance hallway provides access to the large lounge, with stairs to the lower ground and first floors. The three lounge windows have views to the east and south.

The lower ground floor accommodation comprises a large dining kitchen with a door to the private and enclosed garden, a cloakroom with shower, and an understairs storage cupboard. The dining kitchen is fitted with an array of quality wall and drawer units with worktop surfaces, a one and a half bowl composite sink and drainer, integrated electric oven, four ring gas hob with extractor fan above, integral fridge and freezer, a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.

On the first floor are two/three bedrooms and a built in airing cupboard which contains the water cylinder. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and views over the communal grounds and beyond. There are a further two bedrooms, one of which has fitted shelves and has been used as a study. The fully tiled bathroom has a contemporary white suite and a shower over bath, extractor fan, hand basin with vanity cupboard below, low flush w.c. and radiator.

From the private garden there is direct access to the communal, formal landscaped gardens within Gainsborough Court development. The well-proportioned, established landscaped front and side gardens of the private garden are attractive and enjoy a southerly aspect. This garden includes pebbled beds, a gravel bed, flowerbeds, bushes, conifers, small trees and beech hedging, and a timber garden shed. A stone flagged patio provides a delightful sitting out area. The garden also has another access to the side lane leading to the communal gardens and to the car park at the front of the building.
