Overton House sits on the corner of Stockport Road and Kirkmanshulme Lane.  Apparently, the first record of the house is a lease dated 1836 held by Thomas Knight and Joseph Higginbottom.  For much of its history the house has been home to doctors.  In 1861 Dr. Joseph Gibson Dowse practiced from the house.  At that time it was called Rose Cottage.  It was during Dr. Dowse's occupancy that the name changed.  The map extract below is dated 1889 and Dr. Dowse was resident at that time since records say that he sold it in 1892.  I added the colour to emphasise the site and I added the red arrow to point it out.  Dr. Conway followed Dr. Dowse and after him came Dr. Storey and Dr. Lurie, who retired in 1964.

Today, Overton House is a Care Home which describes itself as being, "ideally located for all local amenities and shops and on all bus routes for easy access to visit your relative."  They add that the services they offer include:  "Long stay care, Short stay care and Respite care."
