QUALITY STANDS THE TEST OF TIME

We like to think we are helping leave a legacy, building homes that stand the test of time.

We know that a re-sale PJ Livesey property often carries a premium compared to similar properties in the same location.

The latest example is in Norwich where 15 years ago we converted Read Mills, a run-down complex of Grade II listed industrial warehouses and mills on the banks of the River Wensum close to the city centre.

We transformed this abandoned site, converting the original buildings and adding sympathetic new builds to create a thriving community of 155 new homes ranging from one bedroom apartments to the city’s first £1m penthouse.

We are immensely proud of the project which unlocked an important growth area, allowing for more investment to follow.

It has also allowed more people to enjoy the delights of the river and properties at Reads are still in demand.

The local paper recently highlighted the history of the scheme saying: “Years later, these apartments are still sought-after..” and highlights a two bedroom apartment on the market for £250,000

NEW HOMES AT STORETON HALL

Family sized homes designed specifically for this countryside setting.

Work at our latest new development, Storeton Hall on the Wirral peninsular is progressing well and sales of new homes will start in the spring, ready for occupation in summer 2020.

The original Storeton Hall, which dates back to around 1372, is also being sensitively restored and vertically divided to create two unique homes homes while the neighbouring Storeton Hall barn will be converted to create two properties.

It means that the Hall, the second oldest building on the Wirral, and a unique piece of the region’s history will be saved for future generations and returned to it’s original residential use.

On a separate part of the site impressive new equestrian facilities have already been completed providing state of the art stabling and purpose-built exercise arenas through a well-respected independent livery yard.

Group Sales Manager Gavin Pearce said: “We are very excited about the launch of Storeton Hall and with just 27 new homes and four unique conversions it will be a very special and privileged place to live.

“If you do have a passion for horses it would be the perfect place to call home with brand new stabling and outdoor facilities and acres of land for hacking right on your doorstep.”

“We expect huge interest when our sales cabin opens on site in April and suggest people who are interested to register their details with us now so we can keep them updated with the very latest information on house types and launch prices.”

P J LIVESEY GO GOLD FOR RESEARCH

Fundraising at our Trafford Park Headquarters has helped two wonderful local charities.

Throughout the whole of September the P J Livesey offices turned ‘Gold’ in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

With a gold-themed cake baking contest, a golden egg raffle and a guess the name of a giant gold bear competion, our generous staff and visitors raised a magnificent £2,180.50 in aid of Friends of Rosie.

The donation will help the Manchester based charity to fund pioneering research looking for improvements in the treatment and diagnosis of children with cancer.

Dorothea Livesey, of P J Livesey, said “We are delighted to support this very worthwhile local charity and help raise awareness for childhood cancer research. My thanks go to everyone who helped to organise events and donated during the month, helping us to reach such a fantastic fundraising total.”

Felicity Goodey CBE DL, Friends of Rosie Chair of Trustees, visited the office to pick up the cheque and said “Our huge thanks goes to the team at P J Livesey for their

amazing fundraising achievements during September. Support like this helps us pump more funding into these vital areas of research, making a difference for children with cancer in the future.”

Giant gold bears were also in residence at our developments at Green Walk in West Didsbury and The Historic Quarter at Alderley Park with viewers and purchasers also invited to guess the giant toy’s name.

Sheila King, one of our new residents at The Historic Quarter guessed correctly but generously decided to donate the cuddly bear to Francis House Hospice in Didsbury. 

 A whole hearted thank you to everyone who got involved and we send our very best wishes to the charities.

Standish Estate Purchase

32-acre site near Stroud within the Cotswold AONB
We have completed the purchase of the Standish Estate, a beautiful 32-acre site near Stroud in Gloucestershire, within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The wooded estate is home to a collection of historic buildings, including a Grade II listed Georgian manor house, two distinctive Art Deco-style ward buildings and a former hydrotherapy pool house.

Planning permission has been granted to transform the site into 147 homes, including 48 homes created through the restoration and conversion of the existing heritage buildings and 99 new homes designed specifically for this unique setting.

The development will also include extensive improvements to the grounds, with new footpaths, enhanced open spaces and ecological habitat improvements.

Director James Woodmansee said: “We are very pleased to now be in a position to start work to save these important heritage buildings and give them a new purpose.

“After being boarded up for more than a decade, the buildings were in danger of being lost forever. We will use the skills and expertise we have developed over four decades to bring them back to life and create a truly stunning development that respects this unique and beautiful location.”
