Denise White Estate Agents Comments - It is an absolute pleasure to present to the market this stunning period townhouse, located in one of the most historic addresses in the market town of Leek. King Street, believed to have been laid out in the mid-1820s, is characterised by remarkable architecture, with many buildings reflecting the town's rich heritage, including charming silk weaver cottages. This property is conveniently situated within easy walking distance of the town centre and its many amenities.

The residence boasts excellent-sized landscaped gardens, providing a wonderfully peaceful retreat. Arranged over three floors, in addition to a basement cellar, the townhouse offers captivating views of the historic rooftops and open skies from the top floor—truly a unique feature. Rarely does a property combine modern living with an abundance of character, making this home a remarkable find.

Upon approach, the property is visually appealing, characterised by intricate brickwork and traditional sash style windows. The scale of the building becomes apparent upon entry, where a staircase ascends to the first floor, leading to the main living areas and a door accessing the cellar. The entrance hall is thoughtfully designed, featuring decorative flooring, wooden panelling, a stair runner carpet, and an original banister.

The living room, spacious yet inviting, features exposed wooden floorboards, a charming fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, shelving in alcoves, a heritage-style radiator, and a sash window overlooking the front aspect. This room is designed to be open plan with the dining area, but can easily be enclosed with doors if desired. The continuity of exposed wooden flooring and the heritage-style radiator enhances the room's warmth and character.

The open-plan dining kitchen has been expertly designed, incorporating bespoke cabinetry believed to be handmade by a local craftsman, along with integrated appliances for a seamless transition into your new home. The kitchen features a central island with a breakfast bar, a sink unit, and an abundance of natural light from a roof lantern and inset spotlights. French doors lead directly out to the rear garden, ideal for entertaining during the summer months and creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor lifestyle. An exposed brick wall adds an industrial yet historic touch to the kitchen.

The adjacent utility space is equipped with matching cabinetry, ample work surface space, and laundry facilities, with direct access to a convenient downstairs cloakroom featuring a WC and wash hand basin.

The first-floor accommodation continues to impress, offering well-proportioned rooms adorned with historic features such as fireplaces and sash windows, complemented by bespoke wardrobes. This level includes two generous bedrooms, while the second floor boasts an additional two well-sized bedrooms. The first-floor bathroom reflects the property's heritage, featuring a clawfoot roll-top bath, a pedestal wash hand basin, a WC, and a separate shower cubicle.

Overall, it has been a true delight to prepare the sales details for this property, and I am proud to present it to the market. I look forward to welcoming the new owners to their remarkable home.
