Property description
Opportunity to acquire a superb waterside development site, part of the Rooksmoor Mills with potential to create 5 new dwellings fronting the mill pond and weir.
Block F, The Dye House, Rooksmoor Mills is situated on the southernmost part of Rooksmoor Mills and is located in a delightful setting around the former Mill Pond. The proposed new dwellings form a terrace of houses on the far bank of the river and mill pond occupying the site of a former mill building as indicated on the Historic Site Layout.
In 2005, the site formed part of a much larger scheme which was granted planning consent by Stroud District Council on 27th March 2008 to provide 51 Residential Units, replacement retail/workshop units, parking and the reinstatement of the mill pond under reference S.05/1766/FUL (http://www.stroud.gov.uk/docs/planning/planning_main.asp)
The current consent proposes the erection of 5 No. three storey terraced houses with a Gross Internal area each of approximately 128 sq.m/1378 sq.ft. The accommodation proposes a ground floor with living area and kitchen, three first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom whilst the top floor would offer a master suite of bedroom and en suite.
Externally, each property would have small river/mill pond frontages and small paved terraces at the rear backing onto the Cycle Track. In addition, the development would require the creation of a parking area accessed from the A46 which would necessitate the creation of 10 No. parking spaces and a turning area coupled with the construction of a footbridge over the river leading to both the properties and also to the cycle track which will carry public rights of way over it.
