Summary - Bitannia Mill Site, Mossley, Ashton-under-Lyne OL5 9AQ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large riverside regeneration plot with approved mixed‑use plans and strong transport links.
8-acre freehold riverfront site with Pennine foothill views
An eight-acre freehold development site at the Britannia Mill in Mossley offers a large-scale regeneration opportunity with strong location fundamentals. The site sits on the riverfront within the Pennine foothills, moments from Mossley train station and about 20 minutes to central Manchester, giving future residents countryside views with convenient city access. Planning permission is in place for a mixed-use scheme: 82 one- to three-bedroom apartments, 21 mews and semi-detached homes, five eco homes, and four commercial units.
The mills are currently derelict and will require substantial demolition, structural repair and site clearance before construction, so buyers should budget for significant remediation and abnormal costs. Broadband provision at the site is slow, which will need upgrading for a high-spec gated lifestyle development; mobile signal and transport links are strong. Flood risk is recorded as No Risk, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership and long-term planning.
For investors or developers targeting a “best in class” gated community, the scheme’s river views, planned eco homes, and provision for commercial units create multiple income streams and market appeal. Local amenities, several Good/Outstanding schools nearby, very low crime and abundant green surroundings strengthen the site’s family and lifestyle credentials. The asking price is £4.4m for the whole site; viability depends on build costs, remediation works, and achieving sales/rental values for the proposed mix.
