When opting for a contemporary apartment at Trencherfield Mill you are not only buying into a modern, easy-to-manage lifestyle but the rich heritage of Wigan’s industrial past.

The impressive former cotton mill has now been completely transformed into chic one and two-bedroom apartments, finished to a high specification and with the added benefits of being secure and easy to maintain.

Yet along with all the advantages of a new modern home, they also have stunning period features such as high ceilings, tall elegant windows, exposed brickwork and striking steel columns, which remind the resident they are living somewhere with a fascinating history.

Rachel MacCutchan, sales manager for Stewart Milne Homes’ north west division, said: “The mill offers its residents an opportunity to enjoy a superb standard of living in a unique waterside setting alongside the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and close to the centre of Wigan.

“The redevelopment of Trencherfield Mill proves that historic buildings can be beautifully transformed to create a contemporary place to live while still retaining sought-after original period features.”

Since the mill’s closure in the late 1960s it remained largely disused until Manchester-based Stewart Milne set about lovingly restoring it to create 52 one and two-bedroom executive apartments and four floors of commercial space intended for office, retail and leisure use.

Situated close to the bustling centre of Wigan, it forms an iconic centrepiece in what will become a vibrant urban village, complete with hotel, restaurants, pub, and fashionable shopping areas; all in a unique canal-side setting.

 Trencherfield Mill has dedicated off-road parking and residents of the mill apartments will also benefit from a 24-hour concierge, lifts to all apartments and fitted carpets in communal areas. All apartments in the mill building contain outstanding specification kitchens and bathrooms, designed to be contemporary yet timeless, with close attention paid to detail. Products and finishes have been individually selected for their aesthetic qualities to create a stylish environment that gives the apartments an impressive mix of functionality and style.

The apartments are just five minutes away from Wigan town centre with its array of shops, nightlife and leisure facilities, including an international sized swimming pool and the 25,000- seater JJB Stadium, home to Wigan Warriors rugby league team and Wigan Athletic FC.

Regional and national rail links are just a short walk away and the area has excellent motorway links to the north west’s major cities, including Manchester, Liverpool and Preston, making it the ideal place for commuters to live or work.

A single one-bedroom apartment is available for £99,950, and two-bedroom apartments with impressive open plan kitchen, living and dining areas start from £134,950.

Such is Stewart Milne’s confidence in the quality and long-term value of their homes they have introduced the Home Value Guarantee*, which means that should you sell your home at a lower market value than you paid for it, they’ll refund the difference, subject to terms and conditions.

It is just one of the incentives the award-winning housebuilder is offering to homebuyers to help them to move. Others include having your stamp duty paid or help with mortgage payments.

Customers can also take advantage of an exceptional offer of a 4.99% fixed rate mortgage for the first three years, giving customers confidence that their home will be affordable no matter what the financial markets do. The outstanding deal is available to buyers who organise their mortgage through Stewart Milne’s independent financial advisor and there are no administrations fees to pay.
