Alma Mill is a five-storey Grade II Listed building, originally designated on October 28, 1994. While it does not lie within a conservation area, its proximity to the Christ Church Conservation Area enhances its appeal. The structure features robust load-bearing masonry walls and internal cast iron columns, indicative of its industrial heritage. The slate-covered dual-pitched roof adds character, providing significant potential for restoration and modernization.
Currently vacant, the property has received planning consent for an exciting transformation into 24 self-contained apartments, complete with associated car parking. This presents a valuable investment opportunity in a region that is undergoing revitalization. Detailed planning documents are available for review, including structural reports and design statements that outline the development’s feasibility and design intent.
Located on Crompton Street, Alma Mill benefits from its close proximity to the heart of Macclesfield town centre and easy access to major routes like the A523 The Silk Road. Key local employers such as AstraZeneca (a five-minute drive away) and Macclesfield Hospital (just a five-minute walk) contribute to the area's economic vitality, while Macclesfield train station lies less than 1.5 miles away.
The property comes with various rateable values across its different levels, making it an attractive option for both investors seeking rental income and developers looking at long-term capital growth in a well-connected location. With freehold and leasehold options available under separate titles, Alma Mill offers flexible ownership possibilities.
This unique property not only holds historical significance but also presents an exceptional chance to contribute to the housing supply in an evolving market. Its approved plans pave the way for substantial improvement that can cater to modern living standards in a thriving community.
