Denise White Agents Comments
The conversion of a historical building not only provides new usage of the space but also creates the allure of architectural character. This outstanding grade II listed building has been lovingly altered to allow spacious and versatile accommodation whilst maintaining stunning features such as exposed brickwork, original timbers, tall ceilings, double height rooms, cast iron arched windows and a double front door.
Situated in a highly sought after residential area on the outskirts of the town-centre, the paved street and stone pavements echo the local history of the converted silk mill and town itself. The town centre hosts a range of amenities such as independent shops, pubs, restaurants, and a bus station all within a 7 minute walk from your front door.
Internally, the property offers a wealth of space and natural light with a flexible layout which offers a modern lifestyle. The choice of a using the first floor room as a second living space with a private balcony or a main bedroom is entirely yours and the second floor mezzanine offers the versatility to create another private bedroom.
To the ground floor a grand hallway with a feature subway tile wall welcomes you in. An open-plan kitchen living diner provides space to cook, eat and retreat and lends itself as an ideal entertaining space with glass doors leading to the outdoor space. There is also a WC and pantry for added convenience. To the first floor are two large double bedrooms, with the main being located at the rear and boasting glass doors with a balcony to the rear. With a mezzanine gallery above, which can be made private by the folding doors, adding a versatile space which can be utilised as a dressing room, additional bedroom or an office space. Both of these rooms are serviced by a spa-like modern shower room. To the second floor is a third double bedroom benefitting from stunning arch windows and skylight to allow natural light to flood the room. A well-appointed family bathroom allocates ample facilities to service the demands of modern living.
Externally the property features a paved yard area and an allocated parking space.
To conclude, with features and space a plenty, this magnificent townhouse offers a rare opportunity to own your own slice of local history whilst allowing the convenience of modern, stylish living a stone's throw from the town centre.
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.
