Lowerhouse Mill in Bollington was built in the early 19th century (around 1811?1818) as a cotton spinning mill during the Industrial Revolution. It later came under the ownership of Samuel Greg in 1832, who developed the surrounding area into a model industrial community known as ?Goldenthal? or ?Happy Valley.? Workers were provided with housing, education, and garden space, reflecting early Victorian ideas about improving living conditions for factory workers.

Over time, the mill adapted to changes in industry, moving from cotton spinning to paper processing and coating. Today, Lowerhouse Mill remains a Grade II listed building and a tribute to Bollington?s industrial heritage.

Lowerhouse Mill occupies a truly exceptional position in Bollington, combining rich industrial heritage with an enviable lifestyle setting. This historic mill, with its striking architecture and period character, sits close to the picturesque Macclesfield Canal and the Middlewood Way, a highly popular walking and cycling route connecting Bollington to surrounding towns. The property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy waterside surroundings alongside scenic views toward Tegg's Nose Country Park, making it ideal for those seeking both character and connection to nature.

The setting perfectly reflects Bollington?s reputation as a vibrant semi-rural community with a strong sense of identity and outdoor lifestyle. Residents can enjoy a unique blend of heritage and leisure, from canal-side walks and countryside trails to independent cafés and local amenities nearby. Lowerhouse Mill?s distinctive historic fabric, combined with its position at the heart of such a sought-after location, creates an outstanding opportunity for a lifestyle-led development that celebrates both its past and its surroundings.

Residential property lettings and management

If you're letting a property, you want to know it's in the hands of tenants that will look after it, pay their rent on time and advise if there are maintenance issues so they can be fixed quickly. We can help you find and vet your tenants as well as manage the property once it's let, so you don't have to.

We'll take up references and credit check prospective tenants and provide you with all the information you need as well as keeping you informed about your legal requirements as a landlord. In fact our screening process is so thorough that we are able to take out six months rent guarantee insurance which, in the event you needed to evict a tenant, any legal costs are covered.

We're proactive in securing new tenants to avoid your property standing empty for periods of time, and will proactively contact them in good time before contracts are up for renewal to ensure you aren't left high and dry if they move on.

And if you're buying to let for an investment, we can help advise you on the best property selection so you get the maximum yield from your asset. Houses can differ greatly across a relatively small geographic area, and we know that area better than most.

To talk to us about your lettings and property management options contact us at: lettings@chrishamriding.co.uk or call 01260 543999.
