Valley Mill, Eagley, Bolton £150,000

On the cusp of the West Lancashire Moors, Victorian mill architecture is given a modern makeover at Valley Mill.

At the bottom of Eagley Way, turn into the Eagley Valley, over Eagley Bridge and into the Eagley Mills complex. Private, allocated parking is provided in the car park at the front of the mill, while visitor parking is available in the adjacent car park.

Sense the history of this Grade II listed, characterful Victorian cotton mill, built in 1871, with open views towards the moors and sympathetically converted in recent years to residential use.

Step inside, into the spacious, shared mill lobby, where industrial-feel stairs rise up amidst the red brick of the walls. Collect your post and take the stairs or elevator up to Apartment 207.

Welcome to 207 Valley Mill.

Leave your coat and shoes in the handy understairs cupboard. To the right, a contemporary shower room is central to the apartment and accessible for all. Grey tiles coat the walls, contrasting against the WC, vanity unit and double walk-in shower with glazed screen..

Admire the retained elements of architecture, offering a glimpse of the heritage of the building, stepping up to the left into the open plan living-dining-kitchen, where transom windows, exposed brickwork and high ceilings create a room brimming in ambience.

Oak-effect flooring extends underfoot, throughout the living-dining area, flowing into slate tile-effect in the kitchen, creating a separation in areas whilst retaining a sense of flow.

Beech 'Shaker-style' kitchen units provide storage for your crocks, pots and cutlery, integrated within is an electric oven with halogen hob and stainless steel extractor above. Dark splashback tiles provide a deep contrast to the cupboards, with space for a free-standing fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.

When slumber calls, return through to the hallway, and discover the master bedroom tucked peacefully away at the end. Spacious and yet cosy – soak up the open views from the large window, which allows an abundance of light to flow through. A wall of fitted wardrobes with frosted and mirrored doors provides plentiful storage for all your clothes, shoes and bags.

Require an office for home working? From the entrance hall, take the staircase up to discover a second guest bedroom, serving a dual function as a study with built-in cupboards to one side and balustrade looking out over the living room.
