This week's listing is a three bedroom detached house at Cornhill Gardens in Leek.

The property is on the market now for £725,000 with The Modern House.

Here's what's been said about it... Built in 2016, this excellent four-bedroom house of just under 2,000 sq ft occupies a secluded position at the edge of the historic market town of Leek, Staffordshire. The architectural design strikes a modern aesthetic, pairing Western Red Cedar cladding with sliding glass walls, opening onto private landscaped gardens at the rear. The airtight timber frame construction and Warmcel insulation ensure exceptional energy efficiency throughout. The Peak District National Park can be reached in less than 10 minutes by car, while the cities of Manchester and Sheffield lie approximately 35 miles to the north. Set at the end of a private road, the house is positioned low in its plot to provide an excellent level of privacy. Access is via a private driveway with a generous provision of off-street parking. The wonderfully contemporary timber façade creates a striking silhouette, punctuated with extensive sections of triple-glazed fenestration by Internorm, completely sealed into apertures to eliminate air leakage. The primary entrance leads directly into a half landing, with plenty of storage built into bespoke cabinetry to one side. An open-tread staircase forms a visually arresting focal point, leading down to the beautifully light ground floor living spaces. Arranged in a predominantly open plan, this part of the house is designed to adapt with ease to both the practicalities of family life and social entertaining. A striking sliding glass wall maintains a constant visual connection to the surrounding gardens and invites a wonderful quality of natural light to flood in during the day, opening the entire ground floor to the terrace and gardens in warmer months. Simple linear forms direct the layout of the modern kitchen where appliances are neatly housed within bespoke cabinetry; a central island provides an excellent space for cooking, with a large utility area set to one side. The dining area is positioned centrally, with a secondary living area in one corner of the room. Gas central heating runs underfoot throughout the house. Four beautifully proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the upper floor. The main bedroom has expansive glass windows framing views onto the gardens and an en suite bathroom. Complete with a 10-year build warranty, the house has been designed with an exemplary approach to energy efficiency. Fully sealed for insulation, an MVHR system ensures the controlled circulation of fresh air. Fitted throughout are energy-efficient LED lights, and the smoke detectors in the home are hard-wired for safety and longevity. Sedum gardens, which encourage biodiversity, cover an EPDM rubber roof. The terrace has been orientated to optimise the light, providing an ideal position for alfresco dining in the summer months. Beds of herbaceous plants, perennials, specimen trees, and a Spinney form the border. A timber-clad summer house also sits to one side, with a log burner installed on its terrace. Leek is a characterful historic market town, with a strong independent spirit, many antique shops and cafes, restaurants and a selection of traditional pubs. A general outdoor weekly market runs each Wednesday, Friday and Saturday in the restored Victorian Butter Market, and an antique and collectors' market is also held outdoors each Saturday. The location offers excellent access to the Peak District National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty famed for its walking, cycling and wildlife watching. Steep limestone valleys like Dovedale, with its stepping stones, and Lathkill Dale, draw visitors from around the world. The nearest train stations to Cornhill Gardens are Stoke-on-Trent (12 miles), Macclesfield (13 miles) and Buxton (13 miles), providing direct services to Manchester, Sheffield and London in around 95 minutes.
