Work has begun on a £5.4 million project to transform a grade II-listed former cotton mill in Longwood into luxury residential apartments.
Bespoke housebuilder Virtu Homes has planning permission to turn the 24,000 sq ft mill in Stoney Lane into 34 contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments.
Externally the building will remain much the same and inside each apartment will feature high ceilings and large picture windows to reflect the historic character of the mill.
In-keeping with its heritage and local significance, the original name of Valley Mill will be retained for the new development.
Managing director at Virtu Homes, Adam Harrison, said: “We are delighted to get started on work at Valley Mill.
“Initial remediation on the building has commenced, with site clearance, groundworks and repairs to the roof and internal joists already underway.”
It is estimated that the development will take approximately two years to complete with a show apartment within the mill expected in autumn 2025 and first occupancies by the end of that year.
The first properties are available for sale now with a starting price of £125,000.
