A history of excellence

For over 45 years, P J Livesey have specialised in restoring and developing historic buildings. Since 1979, we’ve earned a reputation for transforming notable period properties such as High Lawn, Bostock Hall, Wyfold Court, Ingress Abbey and Hill Hall.

Our focus is on creating thoughtfully designed residential schemes that give historic buildings a sustainable future. Every project is individually planned, and we work closely with owners, local authorities and communities to achieve the best outcomes.

Partnerships with conservation bodies, local authorities and major housebuilders have been central to our success. From the outset, we have combined design, construction and interior planning in one integrated approach, which continues to shape our work today.

As we have grown, we’ve introduced new-build homes alongside our restoration projects, while maintaining the same design principles that define the P J Livesey Group.

Sustainability

At The P J Livesey Group, we believe that sustainable living and luxurious comfort can go hand in hand.

Our newly built homes are crafted with state-of-the-art eco-friendly features, ensuring you not only enjoy a modern and stylish living space but also contribute positively to the environment

The P J Livesey Group is not only meeting the needs of today’s homeowners but also anticipating the demands of tomorrow.

Our Going Green vision is to exceed the Future Home Standards, embracing eco-friendly designs and energy-efficient solutions.

Solar panels

A selection of our homes are equipped with solar panels meaning your new home could generate an impressive 43 to 65% of electricity off the grid. Additional battery storage can offer additional savings.

EV charging

Many of our developments feature EV charging stations, encouraging the use of eco-friendly vehicles and contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Triple glazing

Triple-glazed windows shield from external noises and temperature fluctuations and reduce condensation keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

A rated EPC

Our new homes boast an A-rated Energy Performance Certificate. With superior appliances, insulation and advanced heating systems, you enjoy a comfortable living environment while minimizing energy wastage.

Water & heat usage

From low-flow taps and shower valves to smart waste water heat recovery systems, we encourage responsible water usage, promoting a sustainable lifestyle for you and future generations.

Advanced insulation

Our homes are enveloped in advanced insulation materials that ensure optimal thermal performance. By maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, you reduce the need for constant heating or cooling.

Innovation

The centrepiece of every P J Livesey Group development is a period building, and every home we create is built on previously developed land, which means we protect the green and pleasant land surrounding us.

We ensure we preserve as much of the existing landscaping, flora and fauna as possible.

Our quest to minimise the environmental impact of our business continues through the constant sourcing of new technologies to incorporate in our developments.

Our aim is a simple one, to protect and enhance our environment for the future.
