Works begin to turn old cotton mill into apartments
Work has begun on a £5.4m project to turn a Grade II listed former cotton mill on Stoney Lane in Huddersfield into luxury residential apartments.
Housebuilder Virtu Homes has planning consent to refurbish the 24,000 sq ft mill into a collection of 34 contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments.
Externally the building will remain much the same and the original name of Valley Mill will be retained for the new development.
Managing director at Virtu Homes, Adam Harrison, said: “We are happy 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.
“Located in the historic market town of Huddersfield, we are confident Valley Mill will appeal to both investors and owner occupiers looking to make the most of urban life close to an exciting and emerging town centre.”
Virtu Homes purchased the site from PJ Livesey. Architect for the scheme was ADS Structural and Aticus Law advised on legals.
It is estimated the development will take about 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.
