A Prestigious Cotton Mill Conversion in an Idyllic Waterside Setting

Set within a prestigious and beautifully restored former cotton mill—now home to just nine exclusive residences—this unique property offers a rare blend of heritage charm, contemporary design, and an unrivalled rural location, overlooking the tranquil mill feeder pond.

The dramatic setting is enhanced by its practicality: while enveloped in countryside beauty, the home is only minutes from Congleton town centre, offering the best of both worlds.

A picture door leads to a front terrace—perfect for alfresco dining with a stunning backdrop.
• First Floor – The central staircase leads to two flexible rooms: Bedroom Three/Second Lounge and Bedroom Four/Dining Room, served by a luxuriously appointed shower room.
• Second Floor – Here you’ll find Bedroom Two, complete with a mezzanine IT/chill-out area, and the impressive main bedroom, both featuring high angular ceilings and exposed oak beams. A sleek, modern bathroom completes this floor.

Location
Nestled within the beautiful Dane In Shaw area, this home offers immediate access to picturesque walks along the tree-lined Biddulph Valley disused railway line and the Macclesfield Canal. Local amenities include Mossley C of E Primary School and popular pubs such as The Queens Head Hotel, The Railway Inn, and The Castle Inn—each offering a warm welcome, family-friendly atmosphere, and excellent food.

This is more than a home—it’s an unrepeatable opportunity to own a piece of heritage in one of Cheshire’s most picturesque waterside locations.
