HINTS OF EXTENDED STAMP DUTY

Look out home buyers for news of Stamp Duty extension

Strong hints that the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak will extend the Stamp Duty holiday in the budget on March 3rd is welcome news for home buyers.

The tax break – which can save buyers up to £15,000 – had been due to end at the end of March but is now expected to be extended until the end of June in line with other measures to support the economy.

Which means anyone contemplating a move could now have four months to find their next home – plenty of time to complete the searches and the paperwork and be happy in their new home for summer.

Sales director Craig Lynch said: “The deadline of the end of March has put a lot of pressure on the whole system as people rushed to complete. Extending until the end of June allows those who thought they had missed out to relook at properties and pursue their purchase.

“We have a clear build programme on all our sites and have a portfolio of properties that are on schedule to be completed for the end of June enabling buyers to take advantage of this significant tax saving.

“There is a suggestion that the benefit may be tapered to only apply to transactions agreed before the March deadline so anyone who had been considering a move should get in touch as soon as possible so they don’t miss out this time.”

The Stamp Duty holiday cuts the bill entirely on properties costing between £125,000 and £500,000 and reduces it on homes over £500,000.

Storeton Hall Barns

STORETON HALL BARNS

We’re converting two historic buildings on the development into unique luxury homes

At the heart of our Storeton Hall development on the stunning Wirral peninsular are two historic buildings.

Storeton Hall dates back to around 1372 and is the second oldest building on the Wirral after Birkenhead Priory. Work to convert the hall into two large properties is on-going and we have uncovered some interesting ‘grafitti’ left by workmen over the centuries.

These properties are not expected to be released for sale until mid 2021.

Neighbouring the Hall and looking out towards it is a stone built barn that used to serve the estate. It too is being converted into two unique homes and these have now been released for sale.

While both offer generous open plan living and four spacious bedrooms each one is unique with its own historic features and feel.

Joint managing director Georgina Livesey said: “The joy of working on buildings like this is uncovering the past and incorporating it into the present. The two homes in the barn are full of character with generous space and completely individual.

“We are really pleased with how the whole site is coming together, how the old buildings sit with the new and how the landscaping is progressing.

 “Sales of the new build homes have so far exceeded expectations with 15 reservations so we are very pleased to be able to release the two barn properties.”

PLOT 30
Occuping the right-hand side of the barn and incorporating the original barn opening which is now glazed to create stunning full height windows to the living room and master bedroom.

It offers a separate kitchen/dining room with bi-fold doors onto the garden and a fourth bedroom on the ground floor that has the flexibility to be used as a home office or play room or as a separate teenage sitting room.

PLOT 31
Boasts a large dual aspect living room with bi-fold doors onto the garden and links through to the well fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar and space for formal dining.
There are three double bedrooms on the first floor and on the ground floor a spacious bedroom suite with en-suite shower room, perfect for guests or anyone needing level access.

Both these properties are available to reserve now with completion scheduled for early 2021.

You can learn more about these unique homes by making a personal appointment to visit the marketing suite.

This Development is Now Completed.

Tapton Court Plans Submitted

PLANS SUBMITTED FOR TAPTON COURT

New life for the stunning Grade II listed Tapton Court in Sheffield

We have submitted plans to redevelop the Grade II listed Tapton Court in Sheffield to create new housing.

It is a glorious building, built in 1868 for one of the town’s many steel magnates, and was once described as a “brass castle above the fog of the town.” It was later bought to provide accommodation for nurses at the nearby hospital and most recently used by Sheffield University as halls of residence for student nurses.

We want to turn it back to the majesty of its heyday, preserving many of its original features such as the ornate staircase and windows and convert the space to create 14 apartments within its splendid walls.

The Court’s original stable block and Gate House lodge would also be converted to create unique individual properties.

Ranmoor House annexe, which was built later, would be converted to create 18 new homes and we also plan to build four new houses in the grounds while retaining the estate’s historic terraced wall.

PJ Livesey joint MD Georgina Livesey said: “Tapton Court has been empty for a decade and is currently on the City Council’s At Risk register. Our proposals will not only save this beautiful building with its lovely historic features but provide a series of unique new homes for this lovely part of Sheffield.

“Saving historic treasures like this is what PJ Livesey has been doing for the past 40 years and we take great pride in creating a new legacy for the buildings we redevelop.”

A full planning application for the conversion and change of use has been submitted to Sheffield City Council and if approved we would anticipate work starting on site this summer.

A fulsome history of Tapton Court and its interesting owners can be found on the excellent Sheffielder website:

COMING SOON, GREEN WALK STANDISH

A new development set within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Green Walk, Standish will be one of our most ambitious developments to date.

A 30-acre estate, dating back to 1818, in a stunning Cotswolds location with a Grade II listed manor house and three more listed buildings.

We are converting these historic buildings into characterful homes but the site also presents the opportunity for us to build a number of new homes in keeping with this very special setting.

Work has been safely progressing on site and we anticipate the first new build homes will be released for sale before the end of the year.

Joint MD Georgina Livesey said: “The current circumstances have placed an even greater importance on where and how we live and I do not think that will change. We all want a less hurried life with flexible space to work from home and easy access to nature.

“Green Walk, Standish has a very special feel. It is set apart from the nearest village of Stonehouse and approached up a sweeping drive through a historic arboretum planted when the manor house was built which now has some majestic and beautiful trees of national significance.

“The new homes we are building are designed specifically for Standish with plenty of room to be flexible and space for families to grow and thrive and enjoy this wonderful location.

“They offer a rare opportunity to be part of creating a unique community within the Park itself and to embrace the wider community of Stonehouse and Stroud.”

Only six properties are being released in the first phase. Built of solid stone they are thoughtfully planned with spacious rooms, high specification and private gardens within the wider grounds.

Full details of Phase I properties will be released to pre-registered clients in advance of the public launch, which will be held in Spring 2021. For your chance to receive exclusive preview information and invitations to pre-launch events please register your interest today click here >

Georgina added: “So much love and care is going into creating Green Walk, Standish that we look forward to welcoming our first visitors in the new year.”

The village of Stonehouse sits just off the M5 offering an easy commute to Cheltenham (30 mins) and Bristol (40 mins)
