Marrying Leicester’s great heritage of textile production with contemporary apartment living is something St George’s Mill does seamlessly. The developer, St Georges Mill LLP, part of the Stonehurst Estates Group, is experienced at taking historic buildings, working with the world’s leading designers and transforming them into sought-after, imaginative places to live. In this case, Conran & Partners, the architecture and design practice led by Sir Terence Conran, worked with the developer to ensure best use of space, light and inherent architectural features.
Available at St George’s Mill are 22 duplex Penthouse apartments, with a choice of two or three bedrooms, five single level 1/2 bed apartments and five fully furnished ground floor one bedroomed apartments, all benefiting from fully secure covered car parking spaces.
The development makes the best use of the original historical building – all apartments have natural light streaming through huge mill windows and the tall ceilings give an immense feeling of space.

St George’s Mill has all the quirky features of a historic building – windows that vary from the vast tall multi-paned rectangles at the front of the building, to circular and arched windows here and there. Any steelwork has been incorporated into the design of the rooms as have columns wherever they appeared in the original industrial building. Designed by Conran & Partners the new-build areas and interiors of the building meld flawlessly into the old, retaining character and individuality.
The high quality, Conran designed specification includes solid wood oak floors and thick woven carpets, with tiles to all wet areas. New “soft closing” white kitchen units with timber worktops, a full range of stainless steel electrical appliances, and Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware to the bathrooms
The building includes secure private covered car parking on the ground and basement floors with the additional benefit of communal cycle and bin stores.
