ABOUT LANCASTER HOUSE, PARBOLD

THE FORMER LANCASTER HOUSE, PARBOLD

Lancaster House is an exceptional property set in walled grounds just outside the lovely West Lancashire town of Parbold.

Built in 1845 for local industrialist Hugh Ainscough, it was used by the family up until 1929 when it was first rented, then purchased, by The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur UK, who occupied the 6.5-acre site up until 2021.

Our plans will see the main house converted to create four grand apartments, and original features, like a sweeping staircase and ornate ceiling, will be retained. The views from the large windows at the front of the house onto the gardens are glorious.

An adjoining cottage will be restored as a single unique property and the estate’s stable block, which includes a distinctive brick tower, will be converted to provide five properties.

A 1980’s accommodation block will be demolished to allow construction of 13 new build family houses.

The grounds at Lancaster House will be just as significant as the properties, providing a place for residents to relax and recharge. The mature trees will be retained, hedged walkways and formal gardens will be restored, paths reopened and new areas of reflection and contemplation created.

The site adjoins the Grade II listed Our Lady and All Saints Church and there will be a new pedestrian route created through to Lancaster Lane.

ABOUT ST. JAMES PORTSMOUTH

THE FORMER ST. JAMES HOSPITAL

St James Hospital in Portsmouth is made up of a handsome set of buildings set in mature open parkland and approached down a tree lined drive.

Built originally as the city’s asylum, activity and open space was important for treatment, so the hospital had its own kitchen gardens, a dairy and brewery as well as farm buildings and its own Chapel.

The hospital treated injured soldiers during both world wars and in 1948 became part of the new National Health Service. Health services reduced in the 1980’s and 90’s and St James closed as a hospital in 2018.

The PJ Livesey Group was named preferred developer by the NHS and we plan to turn these magnificent Gothic-style Grade 2 listed buildings into truly unique new homes within this beautiful setting.

Using our skills of four decades, the original buildings will be converted to create a mix of spacious apartments, most with their own private outside space, and two storey houses with their own front doors opening onto courtyards.

They will be light and bright and full of character.

Set sensitively to the rear of the site will be new build contemporary houses, ranging from two bedrooms to five bedrooms with private gardens.

The Grade II listed Chapel will remain as will the cricket pitch and pavilion.

The grounds will be improved with new cycling and walking routes.

It is an idyllic setting, within walking distance of local community facilities and the independent buzz of Southsea.

The Kings School in Macclesfield is one of the most ancient schools in the country, tracing its roots back to 1502.

Originally known as ‘The Free Grammar School of King Edward VI’ it occupied different locations in Macclesfield before moving to the Cumberland Road site in 1854.

In 2020 the school relocated to a purpose-built facility in Prestbury and planning permission was granted to convert the 5.3 acre site to housing.

The PJ Livesey Group acquired the site in 2021 and, after significantly revising and reducing the scheme, we began work the following year to create a new community of character and heritage within walking distance of the town centre.

The historic original school building and headmasters house will sympathetically converted and continue to be the centrepiece of the development, with a small number of new build houses and spacious apartments set around the cherry tree lined cricket field.

Entry to the scheme will be through the original wrought iron gates off Cumberland Road and the Grade II listed lodge house will be converted into one unique property.

The much-loved Memorial Cricket Pavilion, so significant to the town’s history, will remain in its original position and will be converted into two affordable homes.

New walking and cycling routes will run through the site and the original cricket pitch will be a welcoming green space with a new memorial dedicated to the Kings School pupils who lost their lives in war.

The first homes are due for completion in 2023.

ABOUT TAPTON COURT

THE FORMER TAPTON HALL

Tapton Court is a historic building in the desirable suburb of Ranmoor to the west of Sheffield city centre. Built in 1868 for one of Sheffield’s many steel magnates it is an imposing stone villa standing in 3.5 acres of mature walled grounds.

We will be bringing it back to the majesty of its heyday, preserving many of its original features such as the ornate staircase and arched windows and converting the space to create 14 mansion apartments within its splendid walls.

The original stable block and Gate House lodge will also be converted to create two unique individual properties.

A newer annexe, built to provide accommodation for nurses at the nearby hospital and most recently used by Sheffield University as halls of residence, is being retained and will be converted to provide 18 luxury 2, 3 & 4 bedroom apartments.

Four sympathetically designed new family homes will also be built within the grounds while retaining the estate’s historic terraced wall.

Ranmoor has long been an affluent area with many grand properties built for the city’s great industrialists. It also has a Grade II listed church, St Paul’s, the tower and spire of which date back to 1879.

Holden Mill, a Grade II listed building in Blackburn Road, has been held up by Historic England as an example of how such historic buildings can be preserved.

Following the successful conversion of Bolton’s old cotton mill, Eagley Mill into apartments, we then spent six years converting Holden Mills. This large mill which was built in 1926 has been converted to 296 apartments named The Cottonworks.

The building had two accolades the first being it was the first electric powered mill in Bolton and second it was the last mill to be built in Bolton.

One floor is over 300,000sqft.

Each property holds the character of the original building with unique pillars and there is also a charming ‘winter garden’.
