The Mill · Engine House · River House · Cathedral House
Heritage. Riverside. Reimagined.
Welcome to
Set on the south bank of the River Nene, The Mill Yard brings 80 brand new apartments to one of Peterborough's most exciting riverside regeneration areas. At its heart sits the historic mill building itself — built in 1848 and now sensitively converted into homes and ground floor commercial space — alongside three newly built blocks: Engine House, River House and Cathedral House.
It's a development built on the working history of the site — the mill, the river, the wharf — reimagined as a place people are genuinely proud to call home. A mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments, most with private balconies, real materials, real security, and a management team who are easy to reach. Now released to the market, with move-ins from December 2026.

Four distinct blocks, one connected riverside community — five minutes from Peterborough city centre and the Cathedral.
Direct frontage onto the River Nene at Fletton Quays, one of Peterborough's key regeneration sites.
The Mill itself dates to 1848 — sensitively converted rather than demolished, keeping the site's character.
Walking distance to Peterborough Cathedral, Queensgate and the city centre, with mainline rail links nearby.
A mix of apartment sizes across all four blocks, to suit professionals, couples and families alike.
Most apartments benefit from their own private balcony or terrace, many with river views.
Passenger lifts serve all four blocks, covering every floor from ground to top.
Fibre connectivity to every apartment across all four blocks.
Site-wide CCTV, audio entry systems and secure private entrances.
On-site allocated parking across the development, including electric vehicle charging points.
