Freehold former mill with planning permission for 21 ensuite studios
Description
This substantial former mill building extends to approximately 8,700 sq ft and benefits from planning consent for the conversion into 21 self-contained ensuite studios. The proposed scheme includes private kitchenettes within each studio, three communal kitchens and lounge areas, bike storage and parking. The top-floor "penthouse-style" studios are designed with mezzanine sleeping areas and attractive views towards the Peak District, creating a distinctive accommodation offering within the local market.
Situated in the prosperous market town of Leek, Staffordshire, the property occupies a highly convenient location within walking distance of shops, restaurants and everyday amenities. Leek continues to benefit from significant investment and regeneration, with Staffordshire Moorlands District Council securing £17.1 million of funding to enhance the town's retail, cultural and wellbeing facilities. Connectivity is excellent, with Manchester accessible in approximately 50 minutes via nearby Macclesfield railway station.
The approved scheme offers multiple potential exit strategies and income streams. The accommodation is well suited to the HMO, contractor and professional rental markets, with the inclusion of private ensuites and kitchenettes providing scope to achieve premium rents compared with standard shared accommodation. The property also presents strong serviced accommodation potential, benefiting from its proximity to the Peak District and being approximately 11 miles from Alton Towers, attracting both leisure and tourism demand.
