The Georgian House now seamlessly combines period features with contemporary high quality fixtures to provide a fabulous home well suited to modern living. It’s a house perfect for entertaining; the current owners use the large south facing gardens for summer parties; the charming dining room for dinner parties and cocktails in the sumptuous drawing room. The bright, spacious and versatile accommodation extends to over 2,900 Sq ft. To the ground floor off the grand entrance hall there is a dining room with stone fireplace, an impressive 24’7 dual-aspect drawing room with log burning stove and a beautifully appointed dining kitchen, all with oak flooring. The kitchen is fitted with attractive painted hardwood units, oak work surfaces, Siemens electric oven, induction hob and extractor along with a dark blue gas AGA.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.Externally to the rear there are multiple entertaining areas starting with a courtyard which leads up to the main entertaining patio area then a further set of steps take you up to the south facing gardens, mainly laid to lawn.

Super-fast direct fibre broadband with the opportunityfor 1Gb symmetrical exchange speeds. Loft conversion may be possible in line withanother similar Grade II listed property on the Street (subject to necessaryconsents).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.
