The exteriors of the buildings were originally built as a workhouse in the early to mid 1800’s.

The Withington Hospital site became available for potential redevelopment following a wider strategic rationalisation of healthcare provision in South Manchester. As a result, much of the Withington site became increasingly surplus to requirements. The majority of the remaining hospital buildings within the main site were made redundant or underused and some had been demolished as services have transferred to other sites.

The site contained a number of buildings of which three are Listed Grade II as being of architectural or historic importance, together with a length of wall/railings and gates.

The P J Livesey Group began work transforming the main building into 99 beautifully converted properties, the two lodges into 14 properties and built 48 newly built homes on site.

On-ging

Standish hospital closed in 2004 and is now owned by the Homes and Communities Agency. This 32-acre site includes a number of heritage buildings.

Our draft proposals include the conversion of the Grade II listed Standish House and stable block together with two Art Deco style ward buildings and the gate lodge on Horsemarling Lane. We are also proposing to save the site’s distinctive hydrotherapy pool, which was previously considered for demolition.

The work would be supported by ‘enabling development’ of new build homes designed specifically for the location. This would go hand-in-hand with extensive improvements to the grounds, including new footpaths and enhanced green spaces across the site.

Under the proposed plans the Grade II listed Standish House would be converted into 16 apartments; the stable block into five houses; and both ward buildings would be divided vertically to create a total of 26 distinctive homes. The 1970’s Hydrotherpy Unit would be divided into two unique properties and the estates Lodge House would be restored as a single dwelling.

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 57 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.

If planning is approved work on the scheme would begin this spring with the first homes available in early 2018.

This 3.4 acre (approx.) site is within 5 mins walking distance from the centre of Woodbridge, set in a mature woodland setting on a high ridge overlooking the River Debden and Sutton Hoo.

Cedar House is believed to have been built between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, although major alterations were carried out during the late Victorian or Edwardian era.

Surviving original features include the bay sash windows, window blind boxes, heavy mouldings to the bays and entrance porches. There is also a three-storey extension

(also late Victorian or Edwardian) to the side of the building, as well as a coach house of the same era, used as garage. Most recently, Cedar House has been used to house local charity’s since 1996, but it was handed back to Suffolk Coastal by the Cedar House Trust on 1 August 2013.

Work has completed on site with  all properties now sold. The development consists of the restoration and redevelopment of the much loved Cedar House property with seven bespoke detached houses built on large plots in the mature grounds. There are also be three affordable homes as part of the scheme.
