Description

Description

A freehold development opportunity comprising a Grade II listed former textile mill, built in 1843 in the heart of Macclesfield, offering exceptional potential to create a landmark residential scheme.

The property benefits from approved planning permission for the conversion of the former mill into 30 luxury apartments comprising a range of traditional two-bedroom units alongside a number of spacious three-bedroom duplex penthouses, with associated access and parking (Cheshire East Council Ref: 17/0499M).

The current scheme provides 33 on-site parking spaces. There is also scope to add further apartments, subject to the necessary consents, allowing for additional upside. The Gross Development Value (GDV) is estimated at £7.5 million, presenting a compelling proposition for developers and investors. Crucially, works can commence immediately, Asbestos removal has been carried out by the current owners, significantly reducing initial risk and expediting delivery.

Combining architectural character, scale, and strong residential demand, Albion Mill represents an increasingly rare opportunity to transform an iconic industrial building into high-quality homes.

Originally constructed for Thomas Heapy, a leading figure in Macclesfield celebrated 19th-century silk trade. Architectural highlights include red brick elevations, sandstone detailing, a slate roof, and a prominent central parapet inscribed with Albion Mill 1843 Internally, the building retains many original features, including cast-iron columns and timber beams, offering significant scope for sympathetic restoration.
