Land For Sale £300,000
Plot of land For Sale, located within a sought after residential area close to Walsden village. The plot has potential for residential development, having previously had planning permission granted but now lapsed. The site is a a former mill premises, although only the old brick chimney and some hard standing remains. Enjoying a picturesque setting adjacent to Ramsden Clough, with a wooded backdrop and southerly outlook. The plot would be ideal for self- build initiatives and ideally lends itself to a two dwelling plot with an upper and lower level. The more adventurous developer may prefer to pursue the former planning applications, which were for a larger development of up to 5 dwellings. An excellent opportunity in a wonderful setting.
Location
The site is located just off Ramsden Wood Road, in Walsden, adjacent to Ramsden Clough. It is easy to miss the turning, which is just after Number 64 on the right. This is a delightful setting, nestling into the wooded hillside with plenty of countryside walks in the vicinity. Despite the semi-rural aspect, the location is handy for local amenities in Walsden village. Gordon Riggs Garden centre is within easy reach, and has a farm shop, cafes and mill shop. There are two local pubs and Walsden Cricket & Bowling club is within 0.2 miles. The local station at Walsden is within approximately 0.5 miles and there is a regular bus service from the main A6033, Rochdale Road, into Todmorden centre, approximately 2.2 miles away. Todmorden station is within approximately 2.2 miles and Littleborough station 4.5 miles.
Site History
This is the former Strines Mill site, dating back to the early 1800's and most likely earlier. The former cotton mill was powered by a water mill, from Ramsden Clough. Over the years the old stone mill fell into disrepair and later became a Tripe Factory which closed some 35/40 years ago. The site has been mostly cleared, some hardstanding and rubble remains and the base of the old brick chimney can be seen in the woodland behind where the former mill once stood.
We have obtained an old photo from Pennine Horizons digital archive, showing the former mill buildings circa 1980's before they were demolished.
