Denise White Estate Agent Comments

Set in the centre of the historic market town of Leek, this exceptional four-bedroom townhouse forms part of an impressive conversion of a former silk mill. Offering a rare opportunity to live in a piece of local history, the property expertly fuses industrial heritage with modern design through exposed brickwork, soaring ceilings, and signature arched steel-framed windows.

Step inside to discover a beautifully designed home offering flexible accommodation across three floors, all finished in a neutral palette that complements the building’s unique character. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area-an ideal setting for entertaining. Large steel-framed doors open onto a private decked yard, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors. The kitchen is fitted with classic shaker-style cabinetry and integrated appliances, while a ground floor WC and useful storage complete the space.

On the first floor, two generous rooms are served by a stylish, modern shower room. The largest of these rooms is a standout feature, offering a dramatic double-height ceiling, private balcony, and a large mezzanine level above-perfect as a statement primary suite or an alternative living space to suit individual needs.

The second floor reveals further versatility, including a fourth spacious double bedroom with stunning arched windows that overlook the cobbled street below. The mezzanine level, accessed from the landing, is currently configured as a flexible room with bi-fold partitions-offering scope for a fourth bedroom, playroom, or dedicated home office. A contemporary family bathroom completes the upper level.

Externally, the property enjoys a private, decked rear yard and a highly sought-after private parking space, a rare asset in this vibrant town centre location.

This unique and versatile home is perfect for those who value architectural design, rich character, and urban convenience, all wrapped into one beautifully presented residence.

History

Set in the heart of Leek’s historic silk quarter, Albion Mill is believed to be the town’s first purpose-built silk mill. Constructed in 1820 and extended 1887, it is now designated a listed building of special historic and architectural importance. The mill sits within a Conservation Area, a popular and genteel residential neighbourhood of 19th century weavers’ cottages, and grander Edwardian millowners’ houses

This development provides a variety of 2 and 3 bedroomed town- houses, and 3-4 bedroomed loft-style houses with private gardens, all with allocated parking.

A follow-on phase of new-build 3 bedroomed houses will complete a striking blend of contemporary architecture and renovated buildings - transforming a once industrial area into desirable, modern living spaces.

Location

Known as the 'Queen of the Staffordshire Moorlands', Leek is a former textile town with a long and fascinating history.

The unspoilt town centre offers a refreshing alternative from modern shopping malls and has a wealth of independent shops, including former silk mills housing antique and reproduction pine centres, as well as traditional and contemporary furnishings.

Delicious local produce can be found in abundance at traditional butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delicatessens and cafes. Leek is also home to speciality producers of condiments, confectionery, preserves, wine, whisky, craft beers and the traditional Staffordshire oatcake.

Traditional markets abound, both indoors in the beautifully restored Victorian Butter Market and outdoors in the Market Place, offering everything from general goods, antiques and collectables to fine foods and special 'Totally Locally' Sunday markets. And when it comes to wining and dining, you can choose from a tempting selection of cafés, real ale pubs and restaurants.
