WYFOLD COURT, A LASTING LEGACY

Eighteen years ago we renovated and converted the magnificent Victorian Gothic mansion

Eighteen years ago we renovated and converted the magnificent Victorian Gothic mansion of Wyfold Court at Henley.

It was an extraordinary project converting this Grade II listed gem into 11 apartments, set in 11 acres of grounds and formal gardens.

The work not only preserved one of the country’s great historic houses it created stunning homes – the largest of which has just come onto the market.

It was featured in the local paper The Henley Standard and you can read about it if you click here

For the P J Livesey teams it is always hugely rewarding to hear how the properties we save and the homes we create are enjoyed and treasured by their owners and do indeed create a lasting legacy for the country.

2018 P J LIVESEY TEAM CHALLENGE

It is time to announce the PJ Livesey Team challenge for 2018

Previous years have seen staff from our Trafford Park HQ tackle a Tough Mudder Course and scale the UK’s Three Peaks as we challenge ourselves and also raise money for charity.

This year we are pushing the international boundaries and plan a sponsored cycle from London to Paris.

Fourteen members of staff are now in training for the Arch to Arc trip with weekly cycles around the region and training weekends planned.

We are looking to raise as much as possible with every penny being donated to The Birches school in Didsbury.

The school stands right next door to our latest site at the Siemens campus on Nell Lane and directors Georgina Livesey and Craig Lynch have been to see first-hand the facilities and wonderful work of the staff and their vibrant pupils.

The school caters for around 150 children with a wide range of complex learning difficulties from across the region and while funded by the local authority is always in need of money for extras.

Headteacher Rob O’Hara said: “We have been in communication with PJ Livesey since they started on site earlier in the year and we are delighted to have such supportive neighbours. The sponsored ride sounds a magnificent idea and the school is delighted to be the recipient.

“We are constantly looking to see how we can develop our school, and further enrich the lives of our pupils and their families and please know that every turn of the pedals will have a direct positive effect on what we can achieve and we are extremely grateful to all of you.”

We hope our big effort will be able to make some small difference to the pupil’s lives.

NEWLY BUILT HOMES AT ALDERLEY PARK

The first new build houses are now available to buy off plan at our Alderley Park development

The trio make a contemporary contrast to the converted Cheshire cottages that flank the other sides of the cobbled West courtyard at The Historic Quarter.

These two and three bedroom homes are originally designed to offer spacious and flexible open plan living, arranged over two floors.

As well as private tree fringed gardens each property has a recessed first floor balcony looking out over the courtyard and its lovely brick arches to the parkland beyond.

They offer the perfect combination of modern, light filled living in a picturesque heritage setting.

Ditchingham Maltings & the Wall of Friendship Book

THE WALL OF FRIENDSHIP BOOK

We love heritage buildings – and love that other’s share our passion for their history and character

When we started work on the site of a former silk mill at Ditchingham Maltings on the Suffolk/Norfolk border five years ago we knew the site had played an important role in the area’s history.

As well as employing hundreds of local people working seven days a week for eight months a year as maltsters the buildings had also been used by American servicemen during World War II.

While happy with their posting making great friends with the welcoming local community they also started a ‘Friendship Wall’ inscribing their name and the US State they called home, onto one of the walls inside the maltings.

One of the conditions of redevelopment was to preserve these bricks so they were carefully removed by hand, cleaned and given to the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum at Flixton. We are delighted to hear that the story of The Maltings and the many servicemen who added their name to the wall has been collated into a book by museum curator Huby Fairhead who we had the pleasure of meeting on site.

He very kindly sent us a copy and we appreciate his thanks to our staff for the efforts they took to preserve the precious bricks without damage. They have since led to the discovery of many wonderful stories told in the book

St Gregory’s Place – 1st Phase sold out

ST. GREGORY’S DEVELOPMENT

The first phase of properties, now sold out

The redevelopment of the former Walnnuttree Hospital buildings continues apace with work now concentrating on the Central Hall which will form the main entrance to the second phase of the project.

The conversion of the Victorian buildings is revealing not just unique features and interesting spaces but wonderful views over the Water Meadow from the second-floor penthouses.

The Water Meadows are an integral part of the town’s unique attraction and an open space for all to enjoy – even the local cattle. No wonder that seven of the 10 new build houses facing onto the Water Meadows have also been reserved.

Buyers appreciate Sudbury’s many charms and along with a bustling market square and independent shops and restaurants this is the birthplace of Gainsborough and the town has retained a strong cultural and arts scene with its own gallery and theatre.

It also offers an easy commute to the surrounding larger towns such as Ipswich and Chelmsford and the train will get you to London’s Liverpool Lime Street station in 1hr 20 mins. It also offers great value for money compared to many neighbouring locations.

CONSTRUCTION COMMENCES

on our latest Siemens Development

The PJ Livesey Group is due to start work next week on the first phase of Green Walk, our latest residential development located at the Siemens Campus at West Didsbury, Manchester.

The scheme will provide a mix of 48 contemporary town houses around a central courtyard including 44 apartments in a landmark new building, with access to the development from Nell Lane.

The apartments, a mix of one, two and three bedrooms, will all have large private balconies and purchasers of the penthouse properties will have access to their own private roof terraces.

The contemporary houses share a bold architectural style with the apartments and will be a mix of four and five-bedroom executive family homes with gardens, roof terraces and generous, modern interior spaces.

A pre-sales information centre is planned for summer 2108. PJ Livesey Director, Georgina Livesey said: “This is one of Manchester’s iconic sites and we are very excited about starting work to deliver some equally iconic housing.

“Green Walk will be a new neighborhood of contemporary homes in a great location. “We know this area well and are still incredibly proud of our nearby Didsbury Gate development which shows that quality building stands the test of time. “It is important that the scheme connects with the wider Siemens site and we will be working with partners to ensure a coordinated approach as well as keeping neighbors’ and local community well informed.”
