Summary - ELLERS MILL, THE ELLERS LA12 0AQ
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Large redevelopment site near Ulverston centre with permission to deliver housing and office space.
Planning permission for 6 apartments and 3 new dwellings (SL/2021/0338)
Ellers Mill is a substantial four‑storey stone and slate former mill with 5,885 sq ft of internal space and a large 0.24 acre site. Detailed planning permission (SL/2021/0338) is in place to convert the mill into an office and six apartments, demolish the existing warehouse and build three new dwellings with off‑street parking — a clear route to delivery for a developer or investor. The freehold is offered at £485,000 with no VAT payable and vacant possession.
The building has been stripped back to shell, giving a blank canvas for conversion, and benefits from mains services, double glazing in places and a retained historic granite façade that will appeal to buyers seeking period character. The site is less than a five‑minute walk from Ulverston town centre and around ten minutes from the station, providing strong local market demand for completed homes and small office space.
Prospective purchasers should note material issues plainly: the property needs full renovation, walls appear uninsulated, the current EPC is E120, and the site is in a medium flood‑risk area. Local recorded crime levels are high; appropriate security and design mitigation will be required. The works carried out to date and the granted planning permission reduce some delivery risk, but buyers must allow for conversion costs, flood mitigation, and potential party‑wall or access arrangements.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for a developer or investor comfortable with refurbishment and conversions: deliver the approved scheme to benefit from central town location and strong demand, or adapt the consent to a revised mix subject to further approvals. Detailed plans, permissions and information are available on request to support due diligence.
