Historic Homes at Kings Gate Coming Soon

Register now for exclusive preview information

Details of our first conversion properties to be released at Kings Gate, Macclesfield are now available to pre-registered clients.

The library building and adjoining headmasters house are the oldest buildings at the site, dating back to 1856 and formed the original Kings School.

The library was the original school house, designed in gothic revival style with a central classroom at its centre open up to a mezzanine with four dramatic timber roof trusses.

It later became a library as the School expanded on the site with a new main hall and classrooms.

They are beautiful buildings of special architectural and historical interest and their unique features have been preserved and maintained over the decades.

P J Livesey is respecting this historic legacy, skilfully converting the spaces to create six unique homes within this lovely walled setting.

Each property will have its own front door and range over two floors but each property is completely individual and hand crafted.

One has a luxurious bedroom suite on the ground floor and a vaulted living area, others have exposed beams and all boast the highest specification kitchens and luxurious bathrooms.

Managing director Georgina Lynch said: “We are using skills honed over 40 years to create beautiful homes within these historic listed buildings. Each one is unique; each window, each doorway, each living area or bedroom and so each property has its own character.

“We are very proud of our commitment to preserving historic buildings and giving them new life and excited to reveal the very special homes we have created here.”

All six properties will be released for off-plan reservations at a Preview Information Event held for pre-registered clients at the start of March.

Prices start from just £399,950

A CONTEMPORARY ‘CASTLE’ ABOVE THE CITY

Stunning designer dressed show home now available to purchase

Just one property remains available in the first phase of our Tapton Court development in Sheffield – and it is stunning.

A three-bedroom penthouse, with huge windows and a wide balcony offering distant views looking over the treetops to the city.

This extraordinary property occupies the top two floors of the East Court of the main iconic conversion and comes complete with a host of interior designer selected extras, these include; fitted wardrobes in two bedrooms, upgraded light fittings, blinds and carpets throughout all included within the purchase price of £599,950.

And it will be part of a development setting new standards of luxury and exclusivity in the city.

Tapton Court is a historically fascinating site, and when the ornate stone villa was completed in 1868 for one of the city’s steel magnates, it was described as: ‘A brass castle above the fog of the town.’

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce, said: “This is the final opportunity to own a contemporary home within the East Court which is ready to move into – your own contemporary castle!

“Tapton Court is a lovely development in the desirable Ranmoor district providing a unique mix of homes set around open lawns and bounded by mature trees and stone walls.

“You approach through the original restored gates, past the gatehouse and up the sweeping drive and see the original Grade 2 listed stone villa. It really is very special.

“Properties at Tapton are appealing to a wide range of people – all of whom appreciate the history and location of the site.

“The penthouse in the East Court is a lovely space, full of light, and the new owner will benefit from lots of show home extras. We believe it offers a unique combination of easy luxury living with history and location. There is nowhere else like it.”

Our Green Walk development in the Cotswolds boasts several properties that have sold for circa £1m and we are now very proud that our first £1m plus show home has been completed and is ready to view.

The Willow is a unique, six bedroomed property designed to make the most of its elevated position on the edge of Standish Woods with bedrooms on the lower floor and contemporary open plan living on the first floor with large windows and a terrace from which to enjoy the stunning views.

PJ Livesey Group Sales Manager Gavin Pearce, said: “Several properties at Green Walk have sold in the region of £1m but this is our first show home at this level and it is absolutely gorgeous. It has been dressed to showcase the space and demonstrate to buyers the unique location of this lovely property.

“We are creating such a diverse mix of homes on our Standish development from heritage mews homes to large family houses. The Willow is a total one-off, individually designed to fit its elevated location within the development with external elevations of Siberian larch and huge amounts of glazing.

“It would suit a buyer wanting the ultimate mix of a contemporary home within a historic setting.”

The six bedrooms include a master suite with a dressing room, full bathroom and double doors opening onto a private terrace.

There are four more bedrooms, one en-suite and a family bathroom and at the other end of the property is a spacious, self-contained guest suite complete with shower room and private terrace.

The galleried entrance hall leads to the stunning first floor with a huge open plan living opening onto the wide south facing roof terrace. This floor also offers a ‘retreat’, a multi-purpose room that could be a cinema, teenage den, or even an office, spanning the entire back of the house – again with triple aspect views and a Juliet balcony.

Extensive private woodland gardens and a detached double garage complete the property.

Now dressed with design led furniture it is available to view by appointment and Gavin said: “Green Walk offers such a range of properties that we like to invite potential buyers to view to truly appreciate and space and the quality on offer.

“This is a unique home on a unique development and we are looking forward to welcoming people through the door.”

BE PART OF LIVING HISTORY

We are reaching the final stages of completing one of our most historic developments to date

We are reaching the final stages of completing one of our most ambitious ever heritage development projects – the restoration of Storeton Hall, the oldest residential building on the Wirral.

It dates back to the 14th Century when all around were fields and was built as a grand estate house for the Stanley family with a great hall for entertaining.

Despite falling into disrepair over the years and the loss of the great hall itself it was listed by Historic England as an Scheduled Ancient Monument.

We began the painstaking restoration process two years ago, working closely with Historic England to preserve features like the original oak roof trusses and two tracery windows- originally carved way back in the 1300’s.

The remains of the Hall have now been reborn as two unique properties where the work of our master craftsmen allows the historic features to be celebrated and enjoyed within a sleek contemporary home.

In-house historic architect Bill Bayliss said: “The challenge is always how to create a liveable modern home while exposing and celebrating the majesty of the original features.

“At Storeton Hall I believe we have been able to do this in the best possible way. The work has not been rushed, we have re-used every possible stone and joist and employed skilled stonemasons to repair and replace the often intricate stonework.

“Everyone who has worked on Storeton Hall is hugely proud of the project, how a building, once on the At Risk register, now provides two incredible properties while still telling the story of the original house.”

The two properties each have their own character – Plot 29 which is due to complete shortly has already been reserved.

Plot 28 is available at £899,950It offers four bedrooms, including a master suite with dressing room, a bespoke dining kitchen with doors onto the private walled garden and a vaulted living room with a spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine floor which could be used as an office, music room or a bedroom.

The property also comes with a detached three car garage.

Group Sales Manager Gavin Pearce said: “Storeton Hall has been a labour of love and the quality and character of the properties is just stunning. There is nothing else like Storeton Hall anywhere in the North West.

“This is an opportunity for someone to be a part of living history and the finish and character has to be seen to be fully appreciated.”

Plot 28 is expected to be completed by Autumn 2022 and viewing is strictly by appointment only.
