The principal building on this site is a Grade II listed former villa, The Cedars, built in c.1857 and attributed to architect Edward Walters. The building was one of several large villas built for wealthy families in this area of Didsbury, marking the Victorian expansion of the village.

During its domestic use the house had ancillary buildings to the rear, including the extant coach house and kitchen gardens, with landscaped pleasure gardens to the south and west sides. The original entrance was to the west side of the house, from the front drive. Didsbury Lodge to the east is not listed but the lodge and entrance gate piers related to it are separately listed Grade II.

Work has begun at 825 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury to convert the listed buildings and former offices to residential and build 22 family sized newly built homes.

The project will bring the handsome Grade II listed Victorian Vila, Cedar House, converted to grand apartments, the Coach House that served the villa will become two properties and the Lodge restored to make one unique property.

The red brick Parklands will also be retained and converted to provide 39 contemporary apartments while a second office building, Aspen House, will be demolished to make way for 22 new build homes.

Work has completed on site with all properties now sold.

Storeton Hall is thought to date from c.1372 and is of exceptional significance as the remains of a medieval hall house, justifying its ancient ‘Scheduled Monument’ status.

It was built as a high-status house for the Stanley family and in the Solar Wing of the South gable there are still remains of a tall arched lancet window, originally used by the Stanley owners as private quarters.

The P J Livesey group completed the purchase of the Storeton Hall Farm on the 7th February 2019 and work has begun on site for the completion of 31 homes in total.

This will include the conversion of Storeton Hall and Storeton Barn into four properties in total and the remaining 27 properties will be a mix of 3 & 4 bedroom newly built houses.

On the 14th August we also exchanged on an Option Agreement for additional land at Storeton on the Wirral, across the road from our Storeton Hall site.

We are promoting the site for around 40 houses through Wirral’s Local Plan process and hope to be able to submit planning in 2021.

The 200-acre Park is one of the treasures of the North West with mature woodland, rolling fields and a lake and if approved these would be the first new properties to enjoy this beautiful location.

We will be creating two very different areas – a landscaped courtyard of mews homes within a Grade II listed courtyard and breathtaking contemporary apartments by the Water Gardens.

Our application forms part of plans – approved by Cheshire East Council in February 2016 – to create a vibrant new community at Alderley Park, that along with new homes will also include new sports and leisure facilities, a gastro pub, hotel and farm shop.

We have plans for 55 properties.

A statement apartment building facing onto the Park’s Water Garden will provide just 23 luxurious two and three bedroom apartments each with private balconies cantilevered over the water giving residents their own outlook over this unique setting. The exclusive fifth floor penthouses will have far reaching views over the parkland.

The 17 conversion properties are set around the historic courtyard and will have two or three bedrooms and an extension to the Grade II listed upper courtyard will provide 14 family sized townhouses up to four bedrooms.

Work has completed on site with all properties now sold.

Formerly known as the Terry’s Chocolate factory, an icon on the skyline of this historic city. We are extremely proud to have this site in our portfolio. Working with Henry Boot Developments as landowner, we were selected to redevelop the 180,000 sq ft five storey main building overlooking York Racecourse and the River Ouse.

The scheme consists of some of the highest quality luxury apartments ever created in the north of England, designed to entice national and international buyers to this historic city. Originally based around a five year programme, the scheme has been such a success that it will be completed in under two years.

Sales have averaged 10-15 per month throughout the scheme, far outstripping competing developments locally, and it is a testament to the company that our construction team have kept pace with this demand.

As conversion of the main building into 163 apartments is now completed, we began work on the conversion of the former Clock Tower into a further 23 apartments. There is also a retail unit within our conversion.

Winner of the Insider Yorkshire Property Awards ‘Best Residential Scheme’ in 2016, ‘The Residence’ showcases the strength of P J Livesey in tackling comprehensive redevelopment.
