Ladderedge, Leek, Staffordshire, ST13 7AE

'People who build their own home tend to be very courageous. These people are curious about life. They're thinking about what it means to live in a house, rather than just buying a commodity and living in it.' - Tom Kundig

Located on the outskirts of town and enjoying uninterrupted views across Ladderedge Country Park, this spacious three-bedroom detached property is a rare opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and make a dream home with one of the area's most scenic backdrops. A perfect project for those with vision.

Denise White Estate Agent Comments - Positioned on the edge of town and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views across Ladderedge Country Park towards Rudyard and The Roaches, this three-bedroom detached home offers a rare opportunity for those seeking a project with incredible potential.

Set within an impressive plot, the property requires updating throughout but presents the perfect canvas for buyers ready to create a truly special long-term home in a remarkable location. The setting is ideal for nature lovers, with countryside walks on the doorstep, while still being within easy reach of the town's amenities.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a spacious entrance hall, a generously proportioned living room with direct access to the rear garden and exceptional open views, a separate dining room, kitchen, utility room, and a convenient ground floor WC.

Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms—each positioned to the rear to take full advantage of the spectacular outlook—alongside a well-appointed shower room and a separate WC.

Externally, the home features off-road parking leading to an integral garage. The rear garden is a true highlight, boasting a tiered design with an initial patio area, mature shrubbery, a large lawn, and direct access to Ladderedge Country Park beyond.

This is a superb opportunity for buyers with vision—whether you're looking to modernise and extend (subject to planning) or simply bring new life to a charming family home in a prime semi-rural setting.

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.
