- Landmark Glasshouses Mill in Nidderdale saved from dereliction and given a new lease of life
- Development comprises of 32 luxury family homes, apartments and cottages ranging from £155,000 to £599,500
A unique
property development offering modern living in a historic setting in the heart
of Nidderdale is officially launching on to the market on the 12th October,
when the show home will be open for appointments across the weekend.
Glasshouses
Mill, which can trace its history back hundreds of years, has been carefully
and respectfully renovated by North Yorkshire property developer Newby.
Situated in the village of Glasshouses, just one mile from Pateley Bridge, it
sits directly on the River Nidd, with the picturesque Glasshouses Dam alongside
it.
The mill has
always been a significant part of local history, dating back to the 1700s when
it was a corn mill. It employed hundreds of people producing cotton and flax,
and then made rope and camouflage netting during the World Wars - it is even
said that the mill supplied rope used on the ill-fated Titanic. It was left empty
and at the risk of going derelict at the end of the last century.
Now it’s being
revived into a stunning collection of 32 luxury family homes, apartments and
cottages for its next lease of life. Set around a spectacular central
courtyard, the two, three and four-bedroom homes and one, two and three-bedroom
apartments are each individually designed to suit a range of homeowners – from
families and empty nesters to those looking for the perfect holiday retreat. Prices
range from £155,000 to £599,500.
One property
owner will be lucky enough to have the mill’s landmark clock tower, dating back
to 1862, within their home, whilst others will be situated within the Mechanics’
Workshop or the Old School House. Bespoke sash windows and a high-quality finish
help retain the mill’s historic appearance – whilst open plan, high tech living
awaits within, meticulously designed by Newby to meet the demands of modern
life. The mill also includes two commercial units which will be used as a shop
and café, for which Newby are now taking enquiries on.
Anthony Mackle,
Sales and Marketing Director at
Newby, said: “Glasshouses Mill is a very special place.
You can feel it as soon as you arrive. The location is fantastic, set on the
edge of the river in a thriving village community, with Pateley Bridge just a
short walk along the riverside and Harrogate only 12 miles away. It’s the
perfect place to enjoy the great outdoors with walks, cycle routes, and
watersports on the mill’s doorstep. The sense of history is everywhere and
we’ve tried to retain that as much as possible – every detail is carefully
considered to seamlessly blend together the historic, rural setting and
contemporary living. There’s been a lot of interest from those looking to
downsize, people wanting to relocate to the countryside and also people in the
market for a tranquil holiday bolthole to escape from it all. Glasshouses Mill
is unusual in that it can tick all those boxes with ease.”
The four-bedroom
show home will be open from 10am – 2pm on the 12th and 13th
October for the launch event, by appointment only. For more information about
