Work completes at riverside apartments development
The first apartments at a new riverside development in Burley in Wharfedale are now for sale following completion of the homes.
The development has seen a Victorian building, known as Forster Mill, which forms part of the historic Greenholme Mills complex alongside the River Wharfe, converted into 16 one, two and three bedroom apartments.
The apartments are being marketed by the new homes division of estate agent, Dacre, Son & Hartley.
Greenholme Mills operated as a textile mill from 1790 until the 1960s, and its location next to the River Wharfe made it one of the largest water-powered mills in England when it was built.
However, in recent decades it had fallen into a state of disrepair before JF Development Group unveiled its plans for the site.
Patrick McCutcheon, head of residential at Dacre, Son & Hartley, said: “Burley in Wharfedale will always be a popular village with homebuyers due its rail links to Leeds, Bradford and Ilkley, good schools and excellent local amenities.
“Imposing period mill buildings in this area are very rare and it’s fantastic to see the renaissance of Forster Mill now completing.
“The attention to detail and standard of workmanship that flows through every aspect of the scheme, from the stunning marble tiled entrance lobby and communal areas to the individual apartments, is exceptional.”
