Description

Set within a generous 0.63 acre plot and tucked away along a private road in one of Leek’s most desirable locations, this beautifully presented four bedroom detached home provides exceptional space, style, and privacy. With far reaching views over open fields and rolling countryside, it is a rare chance to secure a family home in Birchall with significant potential to enhance further. The loft room offers a clear opportunity for conversion, and the grounds can be landscaped or personalised to suit your plans.

Finished to a high standard and thoughtfully remodelled, the property now offers more than 2,500 sq ft of contemporary accommodation. The wide entrance hallway and oak staircase create an immediate sense of quality as you step inside.

The heart of the home is a generous open plan kitchen and living space. The striking blue kitchen includes quartz worktops, a Rangemaster cooker, and a full complement of integrated appliances such as a fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, bin store, and extractor. Underfloor heating warms the entire ground floor, which also features two brick built fireplaces, a separate utility room, a sitting room with garden views, and dual sets of bi fold doors opening to the front terrace. It is an ideal setting for family life and entertaining.

Upstairs, there are four well proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom includes a dressing area and a stylish en suite. A contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining rooms and features a freestanding bath, corner shower, and vanity unit. A large landing with loft ladder access provides storage and invites the possibility of conversion, subject to planning.

Outside, the detached brick built garage includes power, lighting, and electric doors. There is further hardstanding which can be used for parking or additional garden space. The rear of the plot includes a brick built tennis shelter which offers exciting scope for refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to the relevant permissions.
