Osmaston Mill is a characterful selection of luxury apartments located in a prime position in the centre of Derby. An imposing, iconic Victorian Mill consisting of 70, one and two-bedroom apartments. Formerly the old Metalite Lamp Works, Osmaston Mill offers owners all the heritage and individualistic design features of a traditional building, with the convenience and connectivity of a modern fitted home.
Osmaston Works represents the nation’s once booming manufacturing might. Many developers are reluctant to take on anything like this, where preservation is as important as construction. These buildings deserve to be retained due to their character and history, and we are confident that residents and businesses in the area surrounding will benefit hugely from the repurposed Mill at Osmaston.
Derby is a vibrant community of independent shops, cosy pubs, award winning restaurants, bars, cafes, and bistros, all located at the gateway to the Peak District – providing an outstanding place to live and work, Derby has a host of cultural, sporting and leisure gems.

A region of employment growth and urban regeneration – forces that will inevitably boost local rental demand, with official forecasts predicting population rise of upwards of 25% to 312,000.
