EXPERIENCE A NEW DIDSBURY LIFESTYLE

We have just opened the doors to one of our most impressive show homes to date

Perfectly demonstrating that for the first time you can be close to the heart of this trendy south Manchester suburb without compromising on space and modern convenience.

Expansive open plan living with bi-fold doors opening onto a private garden, a master bedroom suite with terrace and three more bedrooms on the first floor, with a guest suite on the second floor and a sixth bedroom/ family room opening onto a roof terrace.

Add in driveway parking, an integral garage and walk-though utility/laundry room and it ticks all the boxes for modern, stylish living.

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce said: “The show home illustrates perfectly what life at Green Walk is all about. It is close to both the city centre and the motorway network yet has all the attractions of the independent shops and restaurants of West Didsbury within walking distance.

“Families wanting easy living space and a place to park outside their door have previously had to move out of the area. But at Green Walk you have space to breathe, room to grow and time to relax.”

Not surprising then that of the 30 properties released in the first phase, 25 have already sold with the first residents already moved in.p

The show home is a Carroll house type and is priced at £779,950 which includes show home extras of luxury carpets throughout and wardrobes to the master bedroom.

Two other Carroll house types will be available for occupation this spring.

The show home is open to view Thursday to Monday 10am to 5pm. Step inside and experience Didsbury Living Redefined.

This Development is Now Completed.

ENHANCED LIFESTYLE AT ALDERLEY PARK

A brand new gym and sports complex will open at Alderley Park this autumn

Opening in September this year, the new sports complex will include a health and fitness suite, dance studio, sports hall, three tennis courts and a five-a-side all-weather football pitch. There will also be new 7-a-side and 11-a-side football pitches and outdoor recreation areas.

It is being managed by Cheshire-based Everybody Sport and Recreation, and members will also be able to use any of the 15 other group run centres across Cheshire including at Macclesfield, Wilmslow and Knutsford.

The gym is all part of the whole lifestyle on offer at Alderley Park where a new community is gently settling in and enjoying life on this historic estate. Other elements will be a gastro pub, boutique hotel and a farm shop.

We have just seven houses left at The Historic Quarter, contemporary spaces set around a cobbled courtyard some with first floor terraces that enjoy views over the parkland and offer the perfect spot to watch the sun go down.

Peter Hartwell, CEO, Everybody Sport and Recreation, said: “We will be putting together a varied schedule of classes, ranging from indoor group cycling to yoga, which will be open to the all the people working and living at the Park as well as for the local community to enjoy”.

Best House in Town

THE RESIDENCE YORK, BEST HOUSE IN TOWN

Duplex apartment – voted the best apartment in BBC’s Best House in Town series

A duplex apartment in The Residence – our conversion of the former Terry’s Chocolate factory – has been voted the best apartment in York in the BBC’s Best House in Town series.

It was lovely to see the iconic Grade II listed building looking very fine on the small screen and to hear the comments of the judges as they opened cupboards, inspected bathrooms and cast a critical eye over the space.

You can watch the series here

It is also a tribute to the interior design skills of owners Sarah and Glen who have created a sumptuous and sophisticated interior. The couple moved from a big house in the country with their seven-year-old son to the spacious duplex and say life is now “just easier”!

Asked what they liked about the development they said: “Internal features, the external features, the functionality of the fittings, the history and the location” – just about everything then!

The Residence apartment now goes through to the programme final against another three properties all aiming to be named Best House in Town.

The P J Livesey involvement at the former Terry’s Chocolate works continues and we are about to start work on converting the site’s landmark Clock Tower into 22 unique apartments.

These too will be very special places to live and with such a limited number interest is already very high.

People who register their interest will be the first to hear news of confirmed build times and details of individual apartments which will range from one bedroom to three bedroom plots.

This Development is Now Completed.

WORK COMMENCES AT 825 DIDSBURY

Work has begun to convert former offices to 22 family sized newly built homes

Planning for the development was agreed late last year and the first homes will be ready for occupation by this autumn.

P J Livesey Director, James Woodmansee, said: “This is an opportunity to take a site with various buildings both listed and non -listed, some used and some no longer fit for purpose and create a place that will once again be truly part of the community. “

The 4.3 acre site contains a mix of buildings set within spacious grounds with mature tree and landscaping.

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.

In total the site will provide 85 new homes.

Demolition of Aspen House is already underway with sales starting off plan in the spring.

The Greater Manchester Pension Fund is providing development funding to the project and Councillor Brenda Warrington, Chair of GMPF, said: “We are delighted to be working alongside such a well-respected developer and look forward to seeing the transformation of the site and in particular, the conversion of the listed buildings into innovative and sought-after homes.

“I’m proud the Greater Manchester Pension Fund is willing to invest in the construction of much-needed housing whilst securing a good return for our members’ pensions. We’re excited by the pipeline of potential investments and we look forward to working on more opportunities to achieve our twin aims of significant investment returns to pay our pensions promises, whilst delivering homes, infrastructure and jobs for Greater Manchester.”

P J Livesey Group was advised by Slater Heelis Law with GVA HOW acting on planning.

This Development is Now Completed.

A LITTLE PIECE OF HISTORY

Within The History Quarter development at Alderley Park

Did you know that Waterloo Barn in Alderley Park’s residential Historic Quarter is said to have been the site of jubilant celebrations when The Battle of Waterloo was won – hence the name.

The Barn is one of the few historic buildings remaining from the days when the Park was owned by the Stanley family and has been converted into two homes by The PJ Livesey Group, one of which is now released for sale.

The exterior, with intricate brick detailing, the exposed beams and original stone roof are all as they would have been in the Duke of Wellington’s day – but the interior now boasts a sleek kitchen and open plan living room together with three bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms.

This unique piece of history is for sale at £594, 950

OUR LANCASTER STORY

A new film has just been released showing the city of Lancaster

A new film has just been released showing the city of Lancaster and the surrounding North West countryside in all its fabulous glory.

Our Lancaster Story: City, hub & heartland was commissioned by the City Council to tell the city’s story but also where and how Lancaster can grow and develop in the future.

Crossed by canals and the River Lune, it is a city region like no other, situated between two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty within minutes of both spectacular coastline and stunning countryside.

Lancaster is a place of quality, scale and magnitude with historic buildings and significant landmarks sitting alongside two modern and aspiring universities – Lancaster and Cumbria.

The four-minute film, produced by Manchester based Paper Film has already had more than 8,000 views – watch it here
