Mills Bakery, Royal William Yard

Mills Bakery has been lovingly restored into 86 new apartments which are bursting with original features while offering a truly modern way of living. For those that like to work close to home, Mills Bakery also offers flexible office space as well as ground floor restaurant or retail space. Apartment and work spaces are carefully separated from each other, creating a busy working building and a relaxing community of comfortable homes.

Award-winning Gillespie Yunnie Architects have designed a scheme that complements the existing features of Mills Bakery. Massive granite and limestone walls, exposed timber roof beams and arched windows comfortably combined with modern elements forming contemporary study areas and gallery level bedrooms, which are lit by new roof lights that introduce maximum daylight.

Two sides of Mills Bakery look out directly onto water. One of which overlooks the Basin, Royal William Yard’s interior dock, accessed by a unique swing bridge. Another side looks out onto the Hamoaze, the estuary of the tidal River Tamar. There is no better waterfront location in Britain.

Mills Bakery apartments are available through Rent to HomeBuy, a government backed scheme to help you get your foot on the housing ladder through shared ownership. It's funded by the New Homes and Communities Agency and is flexible to suit your needs, so you can either start by buying a share in your new home now, or simply rent at 80% of market rent, allowing you to save for a deposit and buy later. Mills Bakery is also available for private rent and outright purchase.

Royal William Yard now offers its own Water Bus to the Barbican Mayflower Steps near the city centre, what better way to arrive home after a busy day at work or at the shops! The Torpoint Ferry also provides a direct link to Cornwall.
