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.
