WHARFEDALE PARK SELLS OUT

All properties at our beautiful Wharfedale Park development have now sold

It has been a wonderful site to work on, understanding and converting the original Victorian hospital buildings, bringing them back to life and combining them with a mix of sensitive new build homes.

There have been some truly interesting points along the way including the discovery of a time-capsule, untouched since the hospital’s foundation stone was laid more than a century before.

We opened the capsule and preserved the contents and with help from local schoolchildren re-filled and re-sealed the glass jar and it is now reburied on the site for future generations to discover.

PHASE I PROPERTIES RELEASED

At our stunning St. James Park, Didsbury development

Our much anticipated St James Park development at Didsbury Officially launched nationally this weekend.

The site combines the conversion of gorgeous listed buildings on a former university campus with a number of contemporary new build homes and we believe this leafy setting will become one of the most desirable areas in this popular south Manchester suburb.

Director Georgina Livesey, said: “This is the culmination of an awful lot of hard work by every member of the PJ Livesey team and shows the strength of our strategic partnerships with Manchester City Council and Manchester Metropolitan University. From the moment we saw the site we knew it could be a wonderful place to live and we have used all our company skills to bring the listed buildings back to life and design stunning new build homes in line with the city’s housing strategy.”

Specialist teams are bringing back the heritage buildings, reclaiming and re-using materials wherever possible. The Administration Building with its stone façade is the heritage centrepiece of the site and its original sash windows have each been individually restored by hand by craftsmen in our Trafford Park workshops.

We commissioned the skilled stonemasons from Manchester based Mather and Ellis to work with us on site and carry out ‘honest’ repairs to the building and they have also restored the northern end of the building where a 1970’s extension has been demolished.

It has been incredibly rewarding to see the Admin building transformed. The two wings have been vertically split into 18 three-storey town houses that have private gardens and roof terraces overlooking a private landscaped courtyard. The handsome front of the Grade II* listed building is being converted into a range of apartments from one bedroom to three bedrooms with the buildings original hall becoming a stunning entrance lobby for residents.

Just as important as the homes we are creating is the setting. We have protected and preserved all the mature trees on the site and planted hundreds more and are re-using original lamp standards around the site.

Phase I of the development includes the properties in the Administration Building, that will now be known as Sandhurst House and visitors to site will be able to view two of the mews properties that have been fully fitted out as show homes.

We are also releasing the Barlow Collection, eight contemporary split level properties offering family living of scale and style and such has been the interest that the sales team will this weekend be previewing The Moseley Collection – four generous detached properties offering over 4,000sqft of luxury living and Sandhurst Apartments – five mansion style apartments with period features, restored original windows and three bedrooms.

Terry’s Clock Tower Consultation

TERRY’S CLOCK TOWER CONSULTATION

We’ve subbmitted plans to convert the clock tower

We have submitted a joint planning application with Henry Boot Developments to convert the Clock Tower Building at the former Terry’s chocolate works site into unique apartments.

Our design would breathe life back into this iconic landmark with the addition of an innovative glazed extension to create 44 individually designed homes in a truly unique setting.

We are also incorporating improvements that would allow public access right to the top of the tower – including access onto the roof. This has always been our intention and discussions were instigated early with interested bodies whom have professed an interest in providing and managing this access for us.

We are now discussing the finer details in respect of dates, insurances and HSE compliance. There is huge demand to live within these magnificent listed buildings, already highlighted by unprecedented sales at The Residence, our conversion of the Art Deco Factory at the centrepiece of the site.

Since our spring launch events more than half the 170 apartments have sold and the first residents are now living there. We believe the mix of properties

from one-bedroom starter homes to expansive duplex penthouses is part of the development’s appeal and the apartments we want to create in the Clock Tower will further enhance the blend of properties available.

We are also proud of the landscaping of the site that has brought the formal gardens back into use and created a new boulevard approach

BIRDS EYE VIEW

View drone footage of our stuuning York development

The Residence at York (The former Terry’s chocolate factory building) is so vast the only way to appreciate its magnificence and scale of this historical icon is from the air.

We sent a drone camera into the skies to capture the Grade II listed structure and give context to the extent of the on-going conversion into unique individually designed apartments and penthouses.

The footage shows not just how this city landmark is coming back to life but also its position in the landscape and the stunning panoramic views the residents will enjoy from the south facing balconies and wide terraces.
