Historic mill could become luxury boutique spa hotel
POSTED 15 Aug 2017 . BY Ben Coxon
Historic Kirk Mill has potential for development as a boutique spa hotel Credit: Savills
A new spa and hotel could be developed in the village of Chipping, in the Forest of Bowland.

Kirk Mill, with its 11-acres (4.5-hectare) of land and mill pond is currently on the market with Savills.

The building has full planning consent for redevelopment as a 60-bed hotel and spa, with additional facilities, including restaurants, a trail head centre, kids’ club and wedding venue.

The Grade II listed former cotton-spinning mill is one of the best surviving examples of an ‘Arkwright-type’ mill in Lancashire.

The new development will sit at the heart of the wider Kirk Mill conservation area.
