Contemporary mill living in an iconic Calder Valley setting
Set within the historic Old Town Mill complex, Carding Mill is a striking collection of contemporary mill conversion homes, thoughtfully designed to celebrate the building’s industrial heritage while offering refined, modern living.
Forming Phase Two of the Old Town Mill development, Carding Mill comprises a limited number of beautifully crafted homes arranged across the original five-storey mill structure. Each property enjoys elevated views across the surrounding Pennine landscape, with architecture and interiors that respond sensitively to this remarkable setting.
A historic mill, reimagined
Old Town Mill dates back to the mid-19th century, when the Calder Valley was at the heart of Yorkshire’s textile industry. Built predominantly in coursed gritstone beneath Welsh blue slate roofs, the mill has been carefully restored to retain its character, while being adapted for contemporary living.
This phase of the development reflects a deep respect for the site’s heritage, combining exposed beams, generous glazing, and robust materials with high levels of comfort and efficiency. The result is a collection of homes that feel rooted in place, yet distinctly modern.
The homes
Carding Mill offers a mix of two- and three-bedroom triplex townhouses, arranged over three floors and finished to a high specification throughout.
Key features include:
- Open-plan living spaces designed to maximise light and views
- Large windows and skylights framing far-reaching countryside outlooks
- Contemporary kitchens with buyer choice on early reservation
- Stylish bathrooms and ensuites with quality fittings and finishes
- Oak internal doors and carefully considered materials throughout
- Private outdoor seating areas to selected homes
- Gated access, secure communal areas and lift access within the mill
- Gravelled parking for two cars per property with external power points
Homes are covered by an ICW warranty and offer impressive energy efficiency credentials, blending character with modern performance.
The setting
Carding Mill occupies an enviable position above Hebden Bridge, nestled in the hillside at Old Town, where sweeping views stretch across the Calder Valley and surrounding Pennine landscape.
Despite its elevated, rural feel, the development is well connected. Hebden Bridge town centre is just a short drive away, offering independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and a mainline rail station with direct services to Manchester and Leeds. The area is also renowned for its access to walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, including Hardcastle Crags and the wider South Pennines.
This is a location that perfectly balances seclusion, scenery, and connectivity.
