Woollen Mill House 2017

House Notes – Woollen Mill House

Originally a woollen mill for over a century, The Mill is being revitalised into a modern, sustainable and attractive village. The Woollen Mill House is a medium density development and warehouse conversion that retains the historic elements of the woollen mill. The House demonstrates how existing factory buildings can be retained, recycled and given a new life as a home.

This home features:
– Recycled materials from the site of brick, hardwood re-purposed into a dining table, desk & shelving
– Retention of historical features
– Clerestory windows
– Rainwater harvesting & composting
– Universal design
– High levels of insulation
– Even a community garden space!

This property has disability access.
There is limited parking in the Mill, so we suggest Parking in Harris Street or the end of Stephens Street and cross the bridge into the Mill. Lets keep cars in the mill to residents only. It is so much better to experience the Mill on foot anyway, or even better, bring your bike!
