Half of Skipton’s historic mill development sold

Half of the 39 loft-style apartments at The Cotton Mill in Skipton have sold, with work on the scheme completing this month.

The Cotton Mill is the final part of the popular Belle Vue Mills development in the heart of Skipton, and the apartments are being sold by Dacre, Son & Hartley. Development company Rushbond completed the renovation of the historic building this month.

Office manager Jason Preston, from the firm’s Skipton office, said: “The apartments have appealed to both local people, as well as those from across Yorkshire and beyond. We also have first-timer buyers, professionals and retired couples snapping up the new homes, which is a real demographic mix that will make for a fantastic community.”

Richard Baker, from Rushbond, says: “The Cotton Mill is part of an extraordinary collection of buildings that have played a very important role in the town’s social and cultural history. They benefit from a wonderful architectural history which we have worked hard to maintain, and there’s no doubt it will be a fantastic address for anyone wanting a standout apartment that’s ideally located to take advantage of all Skipton’s amenities and rail links.”

The Cotton Mill is part of the Belle Vue Mills development which also includes Glista Mills, Eller House, and the recently completed McCarthy and Stone development, known as Mallory Court, which provide a mix of new and converted apartments.
