Lawthorn Bank is a distinctive C‑listed Georgian country house dating from around 1750, set on a generous, mature plot beside the Annick Water. The house combines original period features — high ceilings, sash‑style windows and stone elevations — with large, flexible living spaces including a 25ft formal lounge, a bespoke Callerton kitchen and a principal suite with private balcony and en suite. A raised decked terrace and fitted terrace kitchen capture direct riverside views, ideal for relaxed family living and entertaining.
The grounds and outbuildings add practical value: gated decorative gravel driveway, manicured lawns, Japanese‑inspired courtyard garden, a partially converted double garage with upstairs games room and balcony, plus workshop and garden shed. The garage/games room offers clear scope for guest accommodation or a studio, subject to consents. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting home working and modern family needs.
Important practical points are straightforward and should be factored into purchase plans. The house is C‑listed, which will restrict alterations and require specialist consent and maintenance. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area records higher deprivation indices, both relevant for long‑term running costs and resale considerations. Energy efficiency is Band D.
Overall this is a substantial period family home for buyers who value historic character, riverside gardens and outbuilding potential — and who are prepared to manage listed‑building responsibilities and running costs. The property suits families seeking space and character with the option to enhance ancillary accommodation, rather than buyers seeking a fully modernised, low‑maintenance home.
