Martin then walked up the street describing the property. He said: "Well, pretty much slap bang in the centre of Accrington is the property I'm here to see and it sounds like a fantastic opportunity."Gothic House dates back to the Victorian era and was voted as one of Accrington's most iconic landmarks in 2010. The property was a former residence of Charles 'Torney' Hall and has been used as a local tourist information centre, amongst other things, during its history.
