Set within the converted Grade II Arkwright Mill, this two-double bedroom apartment offers expansive rooms, tall ceilings and panoramic views over the River Wye and Monsal Dale. The layout provides generous living and dining space, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and practical lift and stair access — ideal for those seeking a comfortable countryside base or a low-hassle second home.
The building’s historic character is a major draw: exposed stonework, large multipane windows and high ceilings give a strong sense of place and natural light. Residents benefit from landscaped communal grounds, two allocated off-street parking spaces, a bike store and communal facilities. The property is chain-free and comes with fixtures, fittings and many contents included, making it easy to occupy quickly.
There are important practical considerations to note. The apartment is leasehold (approximately 101 years remaining) with a small ground rent and is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or extensions. The property sits in a high flood-risk area and has no mobile signal — both material factors for everyday living and insurance. Broadband is fast and the location is exceptionally well placed for walking, cycling and Peak District access.
Overall this is a rare riverside conversion offering striking character and generous proportions for buyers who value setting and history. It suits downsizers, weekend buyers or buyers seeking a distinctive rental or holiday-let opportunity, provided they are comfortable with listed-building constraints, leasehold tenure and the site’s flood risk.
