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.
