ST. GREGORY’S PLACE, SUDBURY

Our latest development in the picturesque market town of Sudbury, has launched

The scheme is bringing back to life the handsome Victorian buildings of the former Walnuttree Hospital – a place that has played a central role in the town for more than a century.

The site is in an idyllic spot, overlooking Sudbury’s peaceful and beautiful Water Meadows, an area of protected open pastureland open to all and where cattle graze freely.

Sudbury Water Meadows

We are using our skill and expertise to convert the historic hospital buildings into 45 unique new homes that include a number of houses as well as spacious apartments that range from one bedroom to three bedrooms.

With high ceilings and original features most have outside terraces and balconies and many enjoy views over the meadows. Complementing the conversion properties are ten new build houses that front the Water Meadows.

The development is named after St. Gregory’s college that once occupied the site. It was founded in 1375 by Sudbury’s most famous son, Simon of Sudbury.

More than half of the properties in the first phase are already reserved and we are working to release more properties for sale. The first residents are expected to move in by the end of the year and the development will complete next year.

Prices start at £249,950 for a stunning two bedroom single level apartment. This includes dual aspect lounge / dining room with door to private garden terrace, recessed open plan kitchen and spacious master bedroom with en-suite.

This Development is Now Completed.

MAKING A MOVE THIS SUMMER

Incentives that buyers can make the dream of a new home at Moor Park a reality

After a successful launch, there is no summer slow-down at Moor Park in Lancaster where a range of incentives are helping buyers unlock the door to their new home with a difference.

This small development of natural stone houses, inspired by heritage buildings and designed specifically for the site, offer an exceptional level of specification and quality few others can match. The properties all feature bright and spacious rooms with extra high ceilings, large bi-folding doors open out onto generous gardens, clever walk-through en-suites and utility / boot rooms and private parking. These properties are all FREEHOLD.

The authenticity of materials used at Moor Park has created a handsome collection of homes. The natural slate roofs complement the pale stonework and window lintels and the stylish ironmongery adds to the quality feel. The setting too is equally special.

Surrounded by mature trees and backing onto a wildlife meadow, this convenient location offers easy access to the city centre with the wild beauty of the Forest of Bowland on the doorstep, waiting to be explored.You can find out more about exploring the area here.

P J Livesey has developed a range of helpful incentives that buyers can mix and match to make the dream of a new home at Moor Park a reality. These include:

* Help to Buy
* Builder Gifted Deposit
* Stamp duty paid on selected properties
* Part exchange on selected properties
* Free carpets on selected reservations in September

Director Georgina Livesey said: “We know these exceptional new homes set a new standard and we want to do all we can to help people move to Moor Park. Buyers who see the property they want can talk through the options available with our experienced team on site.”

ART EXHIBITION AT ST.JAMES PARK

Our St James Park, marketing suite has been turned into an art gallery open to all

Didsbury Arts Festival at St. James Park

We are proud sponsors of this year’s Didsbury Arts Festival and as part of the creative fortnight we have linked with The Mustard Tree, a charity whose work we admire and support, to turn our marketing suite at St James Park, Didsbury, into an art gallery open to all.

The exhibition is called The Earth Under My Feet and is a collection of work by Lloyd Stephenson, one of the very many people helped by the supportive and inspirational work of The Mustard Tree. Lloyd, now in his 50’s, has been homeless many times, despite having a degree in Fine Art from Salford University and a rare talent.

Lloyd has been rediscovered and encouraged through The Turnkey Trust at The Mustard Tree, in a project where artists who had been in prison were given the space, the tools and the time to make and show work.

The Mustard Tree is based in Manchester city centre at Ancoats with outposts in Eccles and Little Hulton. It is a supportive and welcoming organisation whose aim is to create choice and opportunity for the homeless and disadvantaged supporting hundreds of people through positive action and guidance. You can find out more about The Mustard Tree here.

The Ancoats premises are currently undergoing a much-needed refurbishment with fund raising underway to support The Big Build. All the 12 pieces of framed work on display are for sale with proceeds being split between the artist and the charity.

We would like to say a big thank you to Carolyn Curtis-Magri, an artist-in-residence at the Turnkey Project and regular face at The Mustard Tree who was instrumental in facilitating this exhibition. Carolyn is based at Artsmill Gallery and Studios, Hebden Bridge. Click here to find out more.

We urge you to call in to the marketing suite and support this fine charity.

NEXT PHASE AT LANCASTER MOOR

Moor Park offers buyers a unique opportunity to live within this beautiful and privileged setting

With all homes in the landmark building ‘The Residence’ now reserved, construction has started on Moor Park, a small complementary development that will sit within the grounds of the original listed building.

Situated in a secluded leafy setting Moor Park will offer just 62 high specification properties built from traditional quarried stone. They range from three bedroom mews homes perfect for first time buyers to large five bedroom executive family homes as well as a later phase of individually designed apartments. All plots include garaging or allocated parking.

The location offers a perfect combination:- easy access to Lancaster City Centre and all it has to offer but with the beauty of the Bowland Fells a short walk from your front door. For resident’s additional convenience there is also going to be a reputable local shop accessible from Quernmore road.

The generous gardens and expansive green space along the access road and around the apartment building makes the most of the mature landscape setting and gives the whole development an established atmosphere.

New trees have been planted and there will be a tree-lined avenue giving access to the development.

The highly desirable row of Mews homes featuring ‘The Claybury’ style of property will be the first to complete, ready for occupation in Autumn 2017.

Plans to Assure Future for Standish Heritage Buildings

PLANS TO ASSURE FUTURE FOR STANDISH HERITAGE BUILDINGS

Following close consultation with community groups, Stroud District Council and Historic England The P J Livesey Group have submitted detailed development proposals for the former Standish Hospital and the neighbouring Westridge Hospital sites at Stroud in Gloucestershire.

The main Standish Hospital closed in 2004 and the P J LIvesey Group were appointed preferred developer by current site owners, the Homes and Communities Agency. The soon to be vacant adjacent adult care facility, owned by 2gether NHS Foundation Trust, will be incorporated into the scheme as part of a comprehensive redevelopment.

If approved, the plans would secure the future of six heritage buildings which have spanned the centuries. The centrepiece Grade II listed Standish House, its neighbouring stable block together with two Art Deco style ward buildings and the gate lodge on Horsemarling Lane would all be sympathetically converted to ensure they are preserved for future generations.

There are also plans to save the site’s distinctive hydrotherapy pool building, which was previously considered for demolition, making way for two distinctive houses.

The conversion would be further enhanced by extensive improvements to the grounds, including new footpaths and enhanced green spaces across the site. Making the most of the unique mature landscape and incorporating a range of ecological habitat improvements, the application outlines details for the provison of bespoke accommodation for rare species of bats.

These measures would be supported by an ‘enabling development’ of 98 high quality newly built family homes designed specifically to compliment the location. Properties will will range from two to five bedrooms, catering for a broad spectrum of potential future residents.

The six heritage buildings will be converted into 50 unique properties:

  • Grade II Standish House – 15 mansion style apartments
  • Stable Block – 5 houses
  • Art Deco Men’s Ward building – 13 houses
  • Art Deco Women’s Ward Building – 10 houses and 4 apartments
  • 1970’s hydrotherapy unit – two single level properties
  • The Estate Lodge House – one house

The plans are now being considered by Stroud District Council and if approved the group anticipates being on site in late 2017 with the first properties launched for sale in 2018.
