The formerly known as Mostyn House School, an icon on the main street of Parkgate for over 150 years, closed in 2010 and the building fell into disrepair. The roof structure on one building becoming so dangerous it needed propping, closing half of the main road.
After exchanging contracts, we achieved planning in Summer 2013 for conversion of the Grade II listed school buildings into 45 properties, together with 47 new build houses as enabling development in the grounds.
The final property was handed over in June 2016, three years after starting, and the development has won a number of conservation awards.
Mostyn House School now known as Mostyn Place, has a secure future for the next 150 years, and once again stands proud as a landmark in Parkgate.
Work has completed on site with all properties now sold.

Read Mills in Norwich is a prime example of our ability to tackle specialist new build development.
Situated on the banks of the River Wensum in Norwich city centre, Read Mills were a redundant complex of Grade II listed, late 19th Century industrial warehouses and mills.
The site was heavily contaminated, had extensive archeological issues, and was situated in an area that had been in need of investment for some time.
After an accidental discovery following a wrong turn en-route to one of our earlier sites, Whitlingham Hall, the purchase was completed in a record 10 days following agreement with the former owners.
Following our success with a similar city centre regeneration site, Edward England Wharf in Cardiff, our comprehensive redevelopment has created 117 stunning new build apartments and 38 apartments within a converted flour mill.
Working closely with the local authority and other key stakeholders, we designed a truly bespoke scheme for this landmark site. From its launch in 2005, the development has acted as a catalyst for much needed regeneration in the area and provides a stunning example of P J Livesey’s new build expertise.

Stone House Hospital had been closed for 10 years before P J Livesey, working with Ward Homes (a division of Barratt Homes), exchanged contracts with the HCA in Summer 2011.
Planning consent was granted for 260 units, including 93 properties in the Grade II listed hospital buildings, and 51 new build homes to be constructed by P J Livesey.
As we worked through the development it became apparent that market demand was greater than anticipated, and we were able to revise the planning consent to retain more of the listed buildings and deliver a higher quality and lower density new build scheme.
All of the properties at ‘The Residence’ have been sold, with the original chapel at the centre of the development converted into offices.
