Albion Mill, a distinguished Grade II listed structure in Macclesfield, stands as a significant piece of the area’s industrial history. Originally built in 1843 for Thomas Heapy, an influential figure in the 19th-century silk trade, this former textile mill is prominently located and now offers an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment.
The property comes with full planning permission for conversion into 30 residential units, featuring a mix of two-bedroom flats and three-bedroom duplex penthouses. The approved development plans ensure that the original architectural integrity is preserved while transforming the building into modern living spaces. Key elements such as cast-iron columns and timber beams highlight its historical significance and provide a unique character that can be enhanced through thoughtful restoration.
Albion Mill's exterior showcases classic features including red brick walls, sandstone accents, and a slate roof crowned by a distinctive central parapet marked "Albion Mill 1843." The approved redevelopment plan allows for the creation of efficient access routes and parking provisions—all designed to maintain the building's external charm while accommodating contemporary residential needs.
Situated in an area undergoing substantial regeneration, the property not only represents a valuable development opportunity but also aligns with Macclesfield’s ongoing transformation. This location benefits from increasing demand for housing and ongoing improvements in local infrastructure, making it an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on future growth.
This project promises not only to preserve an important part of Macclesfield’s heritage but also to contribute positively to the community's evolution.
