'A good home must be made not bought.' - Joyce Maynard

This impressively spacious townhouse boasts charming features throughout and is situated on a popular residential street within walking distance of the popular town centre. With four double bedrooms and two reception rooms, this property is perfect for couples and expanding families looking to create their dream home.

Denise White Estate Agents Comments - This attractive and character-filled townhouse offers generous living space across three floors, retaining a wealth of original features that add warmth and charm throughout. A welcoming tiled entrance hallway sets the tone, leading to a bay-fronted dining room filled with natural light and period cornicing.

To the rear, a spacious living room features a beautiful cast iron fireplace and a handy under-stairs storage cupboard, while a sizeable kitchen provides ample space for modern living, complemented by a useful utility room beyond.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts two generous double bedrooms, both with feature cast iron fireplaces and elegant wooden flooring. The principal bedroom enjoys twin windows to the front aspect, flooding the space with natural light. A well-proportioned family bathroom completes this level.

The second floor comprises two further cosy double bedrooms, each with dormer windows to the front and rear, adding charm and character to the upper level.

While the property would benefit from some cosmetic updating, its original features and spacious layout present a wonderful opportunity to create a beautiful family home.

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.
