Architectural cues we survey for on a Georgian townhouse
Georgian townhouses were built 1714–1830. In Knutsford they cluster around Georgian townhouse and Edwardian villa. On survey we look for:
- tall proportion 6-over-6 sash windows
- symmetrical front elevation with a raised ground floor
- shallow reveals with wide painted architrave
- flat brick façade, often stucco to the ground floor
Openings we usually shutter on a Georgian townhouse
- tall 6-over-6 sliding sash (up to 2.4m)
- narrower sashes to the top floor
- shallow-arched fanlight over the front door
- sub-basement or half-basement sash to the front
Tier-on-tier with mid-rail aligned to the sash meeting rail is our starting point — adjusted for ceiling height, sash split and existing joinery on the day.

Property-fit proof
A specification shaped by Georgian townhouse openings
We start with the opening, not a stock package. In Knutsford, that means accounting for Georgian townhouse, Edwardian villa, Arts & Crafts home and selecting frames, panel widths and materials around those constraints.

Common Questions
Frequently asked
Can shutters go on a 2.2m Georgian sash?
Yes — with tier-on-tier construction, a mid-rail at the meeting-rail line and triple hinges per leaf. Solid hardwood is essential at that height to stop the panel bowing. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Knutsford (WA16).
Do louvres break up the sash glazing bars?
Not when the mid-rail sits on the meeting rail and louvre size is chosen for the pane proportion. 89mm louvres are our default on Georgian sashes for this reason. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Knutsford (WA16).
How do you handle the deep architrave?
Frame is scribed to the architrave, not fitted flush to the reveal. That way the shutter reads as period joinery, not a modern addition. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Knutsford (WA16).
What's the ballpark cost for shutters on a Knutsford Georgian townhouse?
£3,800–£7,500 per full sash pair on the front elevation for the elements described above. Whole-house Georgian townhouse projects sit within the £2,500 – £9,000 band.
