Castle Gate Mill, restored 18th century mill

Castle Gate Mill is a restored former mill and factory, with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchen and dining areas and large comfortable living rooms. The property is located in beautiful Cragg Vale just outside Hebden Bridge, on the banks of Elphin Brook, that once powered 11 nearby water mills during Yorkshire's early industrial age. The property's industrial history has been carefully restored with exposed beams, cast iron columns and original factory floors. The space The entire ground floor is given over to an 800 square foot kitchen, dining and entertaining space, with huge windows looking onto the river, down the valley and up to the "Craggs" that surround this idyllic spot. The first floor has a large living room with comfortable sofas and chairs, a separate quiet workspace, bathroom with walk-in shower and a large master bedroom with superkingsize bed. The second floor houses three further bedrooms, all with king size beds (one with a separate single bed if required) and a large bathroom with full bath. A set of stairs from the ground floor connects the upper floors of Castle Gate Mill to the 'Machine Room', a beautiful space situated over the lower two floors overlooking Elphin Brook. This space was once where the machinery for the 18th century factory and mill were housed but now it is a comfortable, newly restored apartment with its own separate entrance from the outside deck. The Machine Room is open plan and can be connected to the upper floors through a lockable door, or used as a separate property. It has everything you would require for time away including a bathroom, king size bed and kitchen and dining area. Relax on the river deck to the rushing sounds of Elphin Brook, absorb the industrial history of the preserved beams and cast iron columns or simply put your feet up in the cozy living space and get away from it all. Everywhere in the property you will see echoes of the building's industrial past, from reclaimed and restored cast iron radiators, to exposed beams and structural iron work, to the original and timeworn factory floors. Guest access The property is accessed through a triple-locking security door right off of Castle Gate, a small lane that leads off of Cragg Road, which has ample on-street parking. The Machine Room can be accessed either through the connecting door from the ground floor or through its private entrance off the footpath. Other things to note With two unique spaces, the Mill and the Machine Room, this is ideal for large groups and families.
