This exclusive development, called Mill View Meadows, will comprise 30 beautifully designed two and three-bedroom homes, each thoughtfully equipped with modern, sustainable features such as solar panels and electric vehicle charging points. Nestled in a picturesque location, the development will provide energy-efficient living while maintaining the charm and character of the local area.
Mill View Meadows is a site with a rich industrial heritage, located adjacent to the renowned Haarlem Mill, which dates back to the late 18th century and was one of the earliest water-powered cotton mills in the country. This historical backdrop, said to have been the inspiration behind George Eliot’s classic novel ‘The Mill on the Floss’, adds to the character of the new homes, blending modern living with the town's fascinating past. Now, the Grade II listed building is used as an industrial-style wedding venue, offering couples a unique spot to celebrate.
