Four double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a bespoke handcrafted breakfast kitchen with adjoining dining room, utility, cloakroom, luxury shower room and en-suite. Secure private driveway with parking for several vehicles, Indian stone terrace, workshop and extensive gardens. All within walking distance of both the town centre and open countryside.Where Edwardian Grandeur Meets Contemporary LivingConstructed circa 1910, this imposing family home is a standout example of the fine Edwardian properties that define Howey Lane, one of Congleton’s most coveted addresses. Its elevated position, generous plot and architectural elegance create a presence that is both impressive and welcoming.With Cheshire’s rolling countryside on the doorstep, and superb transport links via the M6, Manchester Airport and Congleton’s mainline railway station, the location is as practical as it is prestigious.A Home That Captures the HeartBetula House blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Original features have been lovingly preserved, including stained glass windows, high ceilings, Minton tiled floors, moulded cornices, ceiling roses and deep skirting boards. The result is a home that radiates character from the moment you step inside.A portico with weathered oak beam leads into the grand reception hall, where the Minton tiled floor and sweeping shallow-rise staircase set the tone. The drawing room, with its bay window and “Chesney” log burner, and the elegant lounge with open fireplace and exposed floorboards, offer refined yet relaxed living spaces.The Heart of the HomeThe bespoke breakfast kitchen is a triumph of design — handcrafted oak-fronted units painted in French grey, natural oak work surfaces, a central island and breakfast bar. This flows seamlessly into the stunning dining area, crowned by a cathedral-style glass atrium ceiling and opening onto the rear terrace through French doors. It’s a space designed for family life, entertaining and everyday enjoyment.A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.First Floor EleganceThe impressive staircase, framed by a tall leaded glass window, rises to a spacious landing.
The master bedroom is a sanctuary, with generous fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite. Bedrooms two and three are equally substantial doubles, while the fourth is also a comfortable double room. A magnificent shower room completes this level.Gardens & GroundsThe property sits well back from the road, accessed via automatic timber gates opening onto a sweeping driveway bordered by lawns and mature planting. The rear garden offers privacy, tranquillity and space, with a large Indian stone terrace perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. A cleverly integrated garden store/workshop is tucked into the upper garden.A Rare OpportunityBetula House is a truly exceptional family residence — elegant, spacious, beautifully restored and located in one of Congleton’s most desirable areas. A home that offers not just accommodation, but a lifestyle.
