STANDISH HOUSE & STABLES Coming Soon

Heritage homes soon to be released at Green Walk, Standish

A unique part of Cotswold heritage now converted to create sumptuous, individual homes.

Standish House and its adjoining traditional stable block were built around 1830 as part of a vast estate belonging to James Dunnton, Lord Sherbourne of Gloucestershire.

He lived in the handsome, rendered villa for about 20 years and was responsible for overseeing the planting of a rich arboretum with specimen trees and shrubs collected from across the world.

The house was later rented out, leased at one time to industrialist Richard Potter, one of whose eight children was Martha Beatrice Potter, later Webb, (Baroness Passfield) would become a great economist, socialist and social reformer who was instrumental in the formation of the Fabian Society.

The house served as a hospital during the wars and because of its elevated, privileged location, later became a specialist centre for the treatment of tuberculosis.

The PJ Livesey Group is respecting this rich social history, conserving the past by converting the house and its grounds into new homes.

STANDISH HOUSE
Standish House will provide just 12 grand apartments, each one unique, each one a very special privileged place to live.

These are luxurious spaces, many with high ceilings, intricate cornicing, huge windows and the highest specification of kitchens and bathrooms.

All have their own private outside space either a secluded roof top terrace, spacious balcony or private garden.

STANDISH HOUSE STABLES
The original stables are being converted to create two, three-bedroom houses and two with four-bedrooms.

These character houses sit around their own private walled courtyard offering well designed living space perfect for growing families or first-time buyers.

A CONTEMPORARY ‘CASTLE’ ABOVE THE CITY

Stunning designer dressed show home now available to purchase

Just one property remains available in the first phase of our Tapton Court development in Sheffield – and it is stunning.

A three-bedroom penthouse, with huge windows and a wide balcony offering distant views looking over the treetops to the city.

This extraordinary property occupies the top two floors of the East Court of the main iconic conversion and comes complete with a host of interior designer selected extras, these include; fitted wardrobes in two bedrooms, upgraded light fittings, blinds and carpets throughout all included within the purchase price of £599,950.

And it will be part of a development setting new standards of luxury and exclusivity in the city.

Tapton Court is a historically fascinating site, and when the ornate stone villa was completed in 1868 for one of the city’s steel magnates, it was described as: ‘A brass castle above the fog of the town.’

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce, said: “This is the final opportunity to own a contemporary home within the East Court which is ready to move into – your own contemporary castle!

“Tapton Court is a lovely development in the desirable Ranmoor district providing a unique mix of homes set around open lawns and bounded by mature trees and stone walls.

“You approach through the original restored gates, past the gatehouse and up the sweeping drive and see the original Grade 2 listed stone villa. It really is very special.

“Properties at Tapton are appealing to a wide range of people – all of whom appreciate the history and location of the site.

“The penthouse in the East Court is a lovely space, full of light, and the new owner will benefit from lots of show home extras. We believe it offers a unique combination of easy luxury living with history and location. There is nowhere else like it.”

CHORLTON CONSULTATION BEGINS

We’d like to hear your views on plans and what you’d like to see happen

We are drawing up proposals to redevelop the Chorlton Shopping Centre site in South Manchester and want to hear the views of neighbours and the wider community on what they would like to see happen.

The site offers huge potential to provide a mix of new homes, modern shops and improved landscaping to once again be the focal centre of this thriving suburb.

One Chorlton is the start of this conversation with a website giving more information and the chance to comment and we are also encouraging people to complete questionnaires and write to us.

This initial consultation will close on Monday August 21st and the feedback we receive will help inform a detailed masterplan which we hope to be able to consult on later this year.

Managing Director Georgina Lynch, said: “Chorlton has its own unique character and energy and we want to understand local ambitions for the area and what we should be considering as we work on the masterplan.

“Building on the site’s potential, we want to create a neighbourhood that responds to how people live, work, shop and spend time today with energy efficient new homes, new shops and outdoor spaces where people can spend time.

“We want to engage as widely as possible with all sections of the community and look forward to the first conversations about One Chorlton with further consultation, including in person events, planned for later this year as plans for the site evolve.”

WHERE THERE’S A WILL… THERES A WAY

Seven years of saving means Will Dickenson has been able to buy his perfect first home

Seven years of saving means Will Dickenson has been able to buy his perfect first home at our Green Walk development in Standish.

Hard working Will has been driving a 44 tonne truck the length and breadth of the UK for the family business since leaving Hartpury College at 19.

Now 26 he said: “It was really important for me to save money so that I would be able to buy a good, nice house.

“I’d been looking online for ages but the properties at Standish really caught my eye and I followed the new releases for about six months before my Dad just said go up and have a proper look.

“Its only about 10 minutes from the family farm and business, so ideal.

“We went to look properly and really liked the whole development, mainly because it is just so different from anything else with a mix of houses and lots of trees. Literally the day after we visited I reserved because I was just so sure.”

Will reserved Plot 44, a contemporary new build mews property with spacious open plan living/dining/kitchen on the ground floor with bi-fold doors onto the private garden and on the first floor, two large double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room.

He said: “It is the perfect size for me and I’m really chuffed. The whole buying process was really easy and not stressful at all. Helen the sales negotiator was great and walking into the sales centre felt like home, not pressured at all.

“I am really looking forward to living on my own and having my own space – I just need to learn to cook now!”

A BRASS ‘CASTLE’ REBORN IN SHEFFIELD

We have launched the first homes for sale in the original Grade II listed Tapton Court

Built for one of Sheffield’s original steel magnates is was one of several ‘brass castles’ built in the city’s exclusive district of Ranmoor in the 19th century.

It once hosted Royalty and over more recent years has been home to hundreds of nurses and students.

We are now working alongside a team of crafts people to bring the magnificent building with its distinctive square turret and sweeping stone entrance steps, back to life.

It is being converted into 14 grand apartments, each one unique, with individual heritage features complemented by the highest building design standards.

PJ Livesey Group Sales Manager, Gavin Pearce said: “It is wonderful to see the building being brought back to life and appreciate its original grandeur and scale. The history of the building is fascinating and King Edward VII is said to have stayed when he was Prince Regent.

“Each of the properties in the building will be unique but accessed through the original hallway and staircase and each will have its own private outdoor space. It will be a very special place to live, in a really stunning location.”

The ultimate apartment spans the entire front two bays of the mansion and will be accessed up the stone steps and through the original front door. It will cover two floors offering spacious, flexible living looking out over the expansive front lawns.

The first homes to be released will be three, one bedroom ground floor apartments with private terrace / garden space which each come with two allocated parking spaces.

Gavin added: “With only 2 apartment remaining for sale in the neighbouring East Court we have released the first one bedroom properties in West Court and know they will be incredibly popular.

“They offer an opportunity, be you a first-time buyer or a down sizer looking for the ultimate lock up and leave, to purchase a unique home. This is a truly special development in a wonderful location convenient not just for the city of Sheffield but for the wonderful countryside and towns of the Peak District.”

The first properties in West Court will be completed by summer 2023.
