In recent years this residence has been commissioned with a comprehensive yet sympathetic program of restoration and improvement at great expense, lavishing attention on every detail. The Georgian House now seamlessly combines period features with contemporary high quality fixtures to provide a fabulous home well suited to modern living.

Leading to the first and second floors is a stunning spindled winding staircase with attractive arched windows to the half landings. On the first floor there are three generously proportioned bedrooms served by a contemporary house bathroom with separate shower and roll top bath. The second floor is dedicated to an indulgent boutique hotel style master suite comprising of a dressing room, shower room and a 27’3 bedroom with open plan sitting room and log burner to one end. The cellars comprise of two chambers currently used as a laundry room and a store room. Completing the accommodation is a ‘gardeners loo’ and summer kitchen/utility room accessed off the rear courtyard.

Rich in history and character Lawton Street is an old road with some surviving timber framed properties amongst grand period town houses. This eclectic mix brings unique character to the street scene. This is all a rare and unexpected treat for a property located just off Congleton's thriving High Street. Arguably, this is some of the best located period housing in the Town, as much of the earlier settlements formed against main roads, which are today busy and noisy.
As you would expect from this central location many local attractions and amenities are within easy walking distance. Vehicular access is easy too as the High Street links up with the bypass, which easily links up to all major routes. The bus station and taxi rank are also located just down the road. Morrisons supermarket is located in the town centre and within walking distance.
