About this home
The Purple Property Shop is delighted to present this exceptional two-bedroom split-level apartment, situated within the iconic Holden Mill. Being sold with tenant in situ, this stunning property seamlessly blends modern living with historic charm and is available for sale with a tenant in situ or vacant possession, making it a perfect investment opportunity with a current rental yield of 9%. Originally constructed in 1927, Holden Mill is a Grade II listed building and a landmark of Bolton’s rich industrial heritage. As one of the town’s last cotton mills, it is renowned for its distinctive domed tower and historical significance. Expertly transformed by the acclaimed P.J. Livesey Group, the mill has been reimagined into 'The Cottonworks,' an exclusive development of luxury apartments. Retaining its industrial charm with exposed brickwork, cast-iron supports, and stylish communal areas, the building offers all the modern amenities expected of a 21st-century home while celebrating its unique past. The apartment itself is thoughtfully designed to make the most of its generous proportions and split-level layout. Upon entering, the ground floor opens into a welcoming hallway that leads to a spacious open-plan lounge, dining area, and kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with modern units and provides ample space for both cooking and entertaining. The lounge, which is bathed in natural light, offers access to a beautiful sun terrace—a fantastic outdoor space perfect for hosting friends, dining al fresco, or simply unwinding. Also located on the ground floor is the master bedroom, a generously sized and comfortable space, along with a stylish and contemporary bathroom. Upstairs, there is an additional large double bedroom, ideal for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The apartment also boasts two substantial storage cupboards, ensuring plenty of room for everyday essentials and helping to maintain a clean, clutter-free living environment. The property is warmed via efficient electric storage heaters and features double glazing throughout, providing comfort and energy efficiency year-round. The location of 'The Cottonworks' is another key highlight. Nestled between the desirable areas of Dunscar and Astley Bridge, the development benefits from excellent access to local amenities, highly regarded schools, and convenient transport links. Its proximity to major road networks makes it an ideal choice for working professionals who need easy access to Bolton town centre, Manchester, or other surrounding areas. With its stylish interiors, outdoor space, and position within a historically significant and beautifully refurbished building, this property is truly one of a kind. Whether you are an investor looking for a property with a strong yield or a buyer searching for a unique home with character and convenience, this apartment delivers on every level. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm of this incredible property and its prestigious development.
