Hi Serena
This translation is almost right, but there are a few things you need to change: "There was a roomy and copious but disreputable and [bad luck bringing] house in Athen.
Through the silence of the night there was the sound of iron, the noise of chains, at first far-away and then near by.
Soon a ghost appeared: An old man, slender, and [with dirt surrounded[, [gyves] at his legs.
my suggestions: bad luck bringing --> cursed
with dirt surrounded --> surrounded with dirt
gyves --> ???
