The Wheel House, 7 E Stepping Stones, Ripponden £160,000

Converted from the former Wheel House to Excelsior Mill, this stunning apartment is more “cottage” than apartment, as it does not have any dwellings above or below. The property also has direct access from the kitchen out to the lovely rear communal courtyard providing a peaceful outdoor setting.

All approached on ground floor level with no steps, The Wheel House has been carefully renovated by the present owners to high standards to include a beautifully appointed living room with Bio-fuel log burner and double height ceiling with exposed beams, exposed stone walls and full-height windows overlooking the river and wooded hillside beyond; a separate, newly fitted dining kitchen with integrated appliances, large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom.

The property is ideal for someone wanting a safe, easy to access dwelling without compromising on luxury or peace and quiet.
