Milford Mills
A premium new build development of 69 finely-designed modern apartments and family homes on this heritage mill site overlooking the River Derwent.

A vital new heart to village life
Located just seven miles north of Derby city centre, Milford Mills occupies an enviable spot in the heart of the Derwent Valley. Wavensmere and Chevin Homes will be restoring these existing buildings to provide retail and leisure premises including a farm shop and community facilities – as well as an impressive selection of premium homes – all nestled within the beautiful landscape and characterful surroundings of Milford village centre.
This landmark part of Derbyshire’s industrial heritage dates back to 1780, when the former mills were among the world’s first mechanised industrial spinning factories. This project will include the restoration of key historic features, including the mill building, the 40-metre chimney and a lade for a hydro-electric mill that will be opened up and exposed.
Work on Milford Mills began in spring 2023.
