5 bedroom detached house for sale

Welcome to Buxton House, an exceptional mid-19th-century home standing proudly on the leafy stretch of Buxton Road. Steeped in history and architectural charm, this Grade II listed property offers a harmonious blend of Victorian elegance and contemporary comfort, set within a wonderfully private plot just a short stroll from Leek’s bustling town centre.



Built in the 1830s, Buxton House has long been a landmark on Buxton Road. Once home to Joshua Brough, a prominent local figure instrumental in establishing Leek’s silk trade, this property carries a legacy as rich as the town’s own history. Today, the home retains many original features, including sash windows, Victorian tiled flooring, and beautiful fireplaces, creating a sense of timeless elegance from the moment you arrive.



Step inside the central doorway, framed by a handsome wooden architrave and decorative fanlight, and discover an inviting entrance hall where colourful Victorian tiles set the tone.



To the left, the dining room boasts dual-aspect sash windows, a grand stone fireplace, and a balance of period character and contemporary design – the perfect setting for family gatherings or entertaining guests. Across the hall, the lounge provides a calming retreat, where floor-to-ceiling sash windows flood the room with light, and original alcoves and an authentic stone hearth showcase the home’s heritage.



The heart of the home lies in the kitchen, a beautifully designed space where stripped wooden flooring, a Belfast sink, and sash windows meet modern cabinetry, a stylish vertical radiator, and sleek finishes. A separate utility room and shower room complete the ground floor, adding convenience without compromising charm.



Step outside into a secluded rear garden bordered by mature trees – a tranquil oasis where you can enjoy summer afternoons, entertain friends, or simply unwind. The sunroom offers a bright indoor retreat with picturesque garden views, perfect for year-round relaxation.



Ascend the winding staircase past a stunning arched Victorian window to the first floor, where five individually styled bedrooms await. The impressive family bathroom offers a spa-like sanctuary, complete with twin countertop basins, a freestanding clawfoot bath, and a rainfall shower – blending luxury and practicality. A tucked-away study provides an ideal space for home working or quiet reading.
