Modern Residential with Existing Character.
Beautiful Yorkshire Heritage.
A. Kennedy Construction is supporting the redevelopment of Greenholme Mills, a historic West Yorkshire mill site, into a major riverside residential scheme in the highly sought-after village of Burley in Wharfedale.
Greenholme Mills operated as a successful textile mill from 1790 until 1967, and its location next to the River Wharfe made it the largest water-powered mill in England. In recent years, the site had been used for a variety of commercial and industrial purposes but was underused and unsustainable in its existing form.
Developer MMR purchased the site with planning consent for a residential development. Bowman Riley, architect, was introduced to the scheme to make design and layout amendments to maximise the value of the land. Planning consent was achieved for MMR, who subsequently sold part of the site to Chartford Homes.
The Greenholme development contributes to the supply of homes in the village surrounded by countryside, which this site takes full advantage of with riverside walks on the doorstep. The development comprises 18 four-bedroom townhouses and six one-two bedroom apartments. The properties have been designed to have slightly different features whilst maintaining the same overall aesthetic to unite the development.
The phased regeneration of the mill site consists of conversion and extension of the two remaining mill buildings to provide 100 apartments and new-build elements to provide 6 new-build apartments and 26 new-build houses. Leisure facilities are created by extending the existing on-site workshop buildings, to provide a café-bar, creche, gym and swimming pool.
Chris Thompson, managing director at Chartford Homes, said:”“Burley in Wharfedale is a highly sought-after village for homebuyers with good schools, a railway station and a great selection of local amenities. It is also surrounded by fantastic countryside, which this site takes full advantage of with riverside walks on the doorstep, down to Burley in Wharfedale’s stepping-stones and across to Asquith, Denton and beyond.”
