Springmount Mill is a substantial site of approximately 0.77 ha about 1 mile from Stockport Town Centre. It takes its name from the original Springmount Mill on the site. The property benefits from an elevated position providing some attractive views across the Mersey River and across the adjacent school playing fields to the Pennines in the distance. There is a fall across the site North to South of about 10m. The masterplan takes account of this level change by incorporating multi-storey car parking underneath the accommodation ensuring the entrances of the apartment buildings can be accessed from the landscape central square. The accommodation comprises 3 blocks of apartments for private rental, namely Highfield (40), Brinksway (66) and Springmount (96). They are configured in a variety of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms arranged around a pedestrian priority public space. 212 car parking spaces have been provided with some under each building but the majority under Brinksway, exploiting the level change. Bike Spaces and bins stores are also provided across the site.
