Denise White Estate Agent Comments

Tucked away in the picturesque and ever-popular area of Petit France, in the very centre of the vibrant market town of Leek, lies this gorgeous one-of-a-kind detached cottage - a home that perfectly captures the charm, warmth, and individuality that make Leek such a special place to live.

Lovingly designed and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owner, this home offers a welcoming and refreshing living space where every detail has been considered. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with an atmosphere of calm and comfort - a true sanctuary that feels far removed from the hustle and bustle, yet remains just moments from all the town’s amenities.

The heart of the home is the beautiful breakfast kitchen, featuring a traditional aga that instantly sets a cosy, homely tone. A charming breakfast nook provides the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee. The living room is wonderfully inviting, with its exposed brick chimney breast, log-burning stove, and bay window overlooking the enclosed garden and Brough Park beyond. It’s a space that truly comes alive in every season - warm and snug in winter, light and serene in summer.

A practical utility room with WC and direct outdoor access completes the ground floor, ensuring the home is as functional as it is beautiful.

A large galleried landing provides a wonderfully versatile area - ideal as a reading nook, home office, or second sitting room. This adaptable space could also be reimagined to create a third bedroom, offering flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.

Also on this level is the stylish shower room, featuring a walk-in shower, traditional fixtures, and a striking skylight that floods the room with natural light and frames tranquil treetop views - a truly serene place to begin or end your day.

There are two stunning double bedrooms, each full of character and flooded with natural light.

The principal bedroom boasts a vaulted ceiling and dual-aspect windows that frame the most breath-taking views across the rooftops and parkland. The second bedroom continues the theme of charm and comfort, featuring a vaulted ceiling, exposed brick chimney breast, skylights, and wooden flooring - a peaceful retreat filled with warmth and personality.

The charm of this home extends beyond its walls. The enclosed cottage-style garden offers a delightful outdoor space - perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the sun sets over the park. The cobbled approach leading to the cottage adds yet another layer of character and timeless appeal.

This exceptional home combines period charm, clever design, and an unbeatable location. Every window tells a story - whether it’s a glimpse of Leek’s historic architecture or a view across the leafy serenity of Brough Park.
