Former Huddersfield Cotton Mill To Be Transformed Into Apartments

Construction News Image
A former cotton mill in Huddersfield is currently undergoing work to transform into luxury residential apartments, as part of a £5.4 million development project.

Bespoke housebuilder Virtu Homes has been given the go-ahead to refurbish the Grade II listed 24,000sqft facility based on Stoney Lane into a highly desirable collection of 34 contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments.

In a nod to its heritage, the original name of Valley Mill will be retained for the new development.

Externally the building will remain much the same, however, internally each apartment will benefit from individual styling, high ceilings and large picture windows that reflect the historic character of the building and provide a comfortable place to live.

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.

"Located in the historic market town of Huddersfield, we are confident that 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."

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.

Virtu Homes purchased the site from PJ Livesey, while the architect for the scheme was ADS Structural and Aticus Law advised on legals.
