Architectural cues we survey for on a Georgian townhouse
Georgian townhouses were built 1714–1830. In Lymm they cluster around sandstone cottage and listed dam-side home. 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
The window list for a Lymm 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.

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 Lymm (WA13).
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 Lymm (WA13).
Will conservation-area rules allow shutters?
Internal plantation shutters are almost always permitted in conservation areas — they're not visible externally in the same way as replacement glazing. We can share sample photos on request. We've fitted this exact spec on Georgian townhouses across Lymm (WA13).
