Clayton Lane, Clayton, BD14

Welcome to The Gables, an exquisite Grade II listed residence steeped in history and brimming with Victorian charm. Originally built in 1888 by renowned local wool merchant Joseph Benn, this stone-built home stands as a testament to refined craftsmanship and architectural elegance. Once a single grand residence, The Gables has been thoughtfully divided to form two substantial dwellings, each exuding character and charm.

Located in a prestigious and tranquil neighborhood, this impressive property offers five spacious bedrooms, three distinguished reception rooms, and a double stone-built garage. As you enter, you’re greeted by the grandeur of a solid oak Victorian balustrade, setting the stage for the elegant decor that flows throughout. The dining kitchen, beautifully decorated and well-equipped, invites you to host family and friends, while the marble fireplaces in the lounge and dining room add warmth and sophistication.

Step outside into the expansive enclosed garden, a serene escape lined with mature oak trees that offer both privacy and beauty. This outdoor haven is perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying a quiet moment amidst nature, despite being in the heart of the city.

The large, gated driveway provides ample parking, guiding you to a robust double garage with space for two vehicles and generous storage. With solid structural integrity, this garage holds exciting potential for renovation, whether you envision a bespoke garden room, games room, or creative studio.

Blending timeless elegance with modern convenience, The Gables is more than a home—it’s a sanctuary where every detail has been carefully curated to offer comfort, luxury, and a touch of history.
