An old mill building shrouded in history in Morley has been sold by Watling Real Estate for an undisclosed amount.
Joint managing directors of Watling, Andrew Foster and Nathan Pask, were appointed receivers over the property earlier this year. West House, on Commercial Street in Morley, Leeds, is described as a “substantial three-storey, former mill building with ancillary rear warehouse” sitting on a 0.24 acre plot.
Full planning for the construction of seven one bedroom and four two bedroom apartments with 10 parking spaces was also granted back in May 2014. James added: “It is our understanding that the purchaser intends to bring forward fresh plans for the property, broadly in line with existing plans, to build it out as a residential redevelopment. “There was strong interest in the property in the end, culminating in robust competitive tension between competing interested parties.
