In partnership with West Riding
A character-filled Saddleworth landmark has come to market: The Old Mill House in Kiln Green, Diggle, a substantial detached residence offering a rare blend of history, space and multi‑generational living potential.
Originally built in 1815 as a working paper mill and later converted into a striking family home in 1989, the property spans four expansive levels, including garage space, and combines period charm with generous, flexible accommodation. A fully self‑contained one‑bedroom apartment with independent services provides an ideal option for extended family, guests or rental income.
Set beside the peaceful Diggle Brook, the home benefits from multiple stone terraces, mature planting and several seating areas designed for outdoor living and entertaining. There is ample off‑road parking, along with both a single and double garage, each with heat and power.
A heated store offers further potential as a workshop or studio, supported by 3‑phase electricity and solar power feed‑in. Despite its rural charm, the property is only a five‑minute walk from Diggle village amenities, including a shop, café, pubs and well-regarded primary and secondary schools. The M62 is also easily accessible for commuters travelling to Manchester, Leeds and beyond.
Inside the main house, an oak‑framed entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway. The ground floor includes a light‑filled conservatory, a utility and boot room with plumbing, a spacious lounge with far‑reaching Saddleworth views, a garden room with patio access, and a well‑appointed kitchen and breakfast room with integrated appliances.
A dining room or snug opens directly onto the garden. Upstairs, four well‑proportioned bedrooms include a principal suite with a stylish ensuite and access to a dedicated laundry room. A fully tiled family bathroom completes the upper floor.
The separate ground‑floor apartment offers exceptional flexibility. It includes a breakfast kitchen with integrated oven and hob, a spacious living and dining room, a double bedroom with garden views and a large bathroom with a corner bath and separate shower. A lockable connecting door links the apartment to the main house, making it suitable for multi‑generational living or income generation.
Planning permission (PA/336562/15) was granted in 2015 for subdivision into three dwellings, and this permission has been enacted by the current owners, with Unit 4 completed.
Key details include a freehold tenure, Council Tax Band G for the main house and Band B for the apartment, an Energy Rating of E, and the benefit of no onward chain.
