Description

A beautiful home in a stunning rural location with absolutely fantastic countryside views! The current owners only purchased the property in April 2023 intending to stay a few years so invested a huge amount of time and money in creating the superbly fitted and stylishly presented home you see today. The original Diggle Mill was built in 1845 for the Lawton family, flannel manufacturers, who also erected the statue of ‘Jeptha’ which is still in situ alongside the driveway at the entrance to the mill. A huge 65ft. diameter waterwheel was constructed in 1847, reputed to have been the second largest in the UK at the time, and sited alongside No.6 before it was dismantled in 1924. The mill was then converted into several houses and apartments back in 2011. The village of Diggle is only a short drive away, where you will find a good range of amenities along with an ‘Outstanding’ nursery, and well regarded primary and secondary schools. Neighbouring Uppermill and Greenfield have a wider range of facilities including a railway station catching the trans-Pennine services from Manchester across to Leeds. The motorway network is also accessible being around 20 minutes away.
