Owler Carr Mill, Todmorden

Originally built around 1846 as a small cotton mill by Mr William Clegg, this remarkable property has been sympathetically transformed into an outstanding family home. Beginning in 2016, the building underwent an extensive back-to-stone, ground-up renovation over several years, resulting in the exceptional residence you see today.

Every effort was made to preserve the character, charm and heritage of the original mill while seamlessly incorporating substantial modern living space throughout. The result is a truly unique home that perfectly balances period features with contemporary design, craftsmanship and comfort.

This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent five-bedroom family home, finished to an impeccable standard throughout. In addition, the property benefits from a fully integrated two-bedroom ground floor annex with both independent and internal access, making it ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, an Airbnb or a rental investment.

As if that wasn't enough, the property also offers another exciting and rarely available opportunity: a four-bedroom house with fantastic scope for a new owner to complete and personalise to their own taste, creating a truly bespoke home.

Properties offering this level of history, flexibility and future potential are seldom brought to the market, making this an exceptional opportunity not to be missed.
