Description
Estcourt is a substantial part three and part single storey building with basement facilities most recently in use for educational/teaching purposes.

The building is positioned on a flat site at the junction of Chamber Road and York Avenue. The original building is a turn of the last Century built three storey former dwelling house which has been in long term use for many years as a preparatory school. The property is of Accrington brick type construction with timber suspended floors and a pitched slate roof. It has retained its original architectural features including large bay windows with sandstone lintels and sills and original period windows, glazing and joinery, internal plasterwork detailing, and has been maintained to an exemplary standard throughout.

The original element has accommodation over ground, first and second floor levels in a range of differing sized rooms, most in long term use as classrooms. There are office/admin rooms, storage, and ancillary areas. The main building also has a basement which is accessed from within and also has a rear access from the surrounding grounds of the property.

Inside many original features remain; These include moulded and routered joinery, original staircases’, multi panel doors, floor and wall tiling, single glazed timber sash windows, ornate internal joinery including doors, architraves, deep moulded and routered skirtings and dado railings, ornate plaster corniches and ceiling roses, and original fireplaces. The internal décor includes plaster and both painted and papered wall surfaces with carpeting, tiled and linoleum floor finishes and many of the windows have been replaced with Upvc double glazed units.

Attached at the right side is a more modern single storey extension of brick construction with a pitched slate roof. This mainly provides an open plan classroom facility with storage and wc/ancillary areas and has full Upvc double glazing.

Externally the property has a flat and regularly shaped fully surfaced school playground area to the rear and a single vehicle garage which can be separately accessed from York Avenue.

An inspection of the property is highly recommended to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.

The Rear Rightside Building is of two storey construction. The ground floor is given over to industrial/storage use and the first floor to office use with incorporated kitchen and washroom facilities. This building is of brick and block construction and has rendered and painted elevation
walls.

Location
Estcourt fronts directly onto Chamber Road at its junction with York Avenue and close to Frederick Street.

The area is a very well and long established principally residential one, with a mix of housing; mainly Victorian, Georgian and post and inter War, with terraced and large detached villa styles and semi-detached family houses represented. Many of the houses in the area are very large and some have been converted to apartments/flats, com- mercial, institutional, care homes and medical uses for example.
