The Development
Set in the heart of Leek’s historic Mill Quarter, and within easy distance of all Town Centre facilities, Albion Mill is believed to be the town’s first purpose-built silk mill.
Constructed in two phases, the 1820 block clearly expresses elegant Georgian grandeur, whereas the follow-on extension of 1887 has all the boldness and decorative detail of the high Victorian age.
Now designated a Listed Building of special historic and architectural importance, Albion Mill sits within a conservation area, a popular and genteel residential neighbourhood of 19th century weavers’ cottages, and grander Edwardian mill owners’ houses.
The property sits within the 1887 building and fronts Albion Street, with enclosed private garden space and allocated parking.
Albion Mill provides a life style-choice: An exciting integration of contemporary design and historic building elements, with great attention to the beauty and fascination of careful detailing and good craftsmanship and more – a flexibility to live in the house as you choose.
Developed to a high specification the radical conversion, going back to the brickwork envelope, has ensured all elements are to a high design standard and in accordance with modern building standards.

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.
Further afield, you'll find the unique, tooth-like rock formations of The Roaches, Rudyard Lake with its picturesque setting and narrow gauge railway and Tittesworth Water, a popular and accessible attraction for visitors of all ages
