The Old Mill, Ilkley – Inspired Living in a Landmark Conversion
Tucked away in one of Ilkley’s most desirable neighbourhoods, The Old Mill is a truly special development—a striking former industrial building transformed into three individual upside-down mews cottages. Blending heritage architecture with stylish, high-spec interiors, these homes offer a rare opportunity to enjoy contemporary living with a strong sense of place, character, and community.
From the moment you arrive, you’re struck by the building’s distinctive charm. The original mill structure has been preserved and celebrated, with its robust stonework, generous proportions and unique detailing. Step inside, and you’ll find that the creative vision behind this conversion continues—where raw character meets refined comfort.

Contemporary Design Meets Industrial Heritage
Each of the three cottages has been individually designed to take advantage of the building’s shape and scale, creating striking upside-down layouts that place the open-plan living areas on the upper floor, where natural light floods in and the lofty ceilings enhance the sense of space and style.
On the ground floor, you’ll find:
• A welcoming entrance hall with high-quality finishes and practical storage
• Two well-sized double bedrooms, ideal for a couple, small family, guests, or even a home office
• A luxurious, fully tiled bathroom fitted with contemporary sanitaryware, sleek fixtures and a calming, spa-like aesthetic
Upstairs, the first floor opens out into a showstopping open-plan living/dining/kitchen area. This is the heart of each home—a flexible, sociable space designed for modern living. Cook, entertain, relax or work beneath exposed beams and high ceilings, with stylish cabinetry, integrated appliances and quality materials throughout. Every detail has been carefully considered to create interiors that are as functional as they are beautiful.

Private Parking & Outdoor Potential
Each cottage benefits from its own allocated parking space directly outside the property—a real asset in this part of Ilkley. The space also offers versatility and could double as a small terrace or courtyard-style garden area for outdoor seating, planting or bike storage.
