TERRY’S CHOCOLATE WORKS

Work is progressing well on the former Terry’s Chocolate site in York

Work is progressing well on the former Terry’s Chocolate site in York where we are converting the iconic Grade II listed Factory Building into what will be truly wonderful apartments.

Such is the scale of the project that we decided to record the vast number of people working on site with a special photo shoot.

We were blessed with a glorious day and despite its coat of scaffolding the building – all 192,000sq ft of it – looked magnificent.

Everyone gathered outside from the chairman and founder Peter Livesey, daughter Georgina and the rest of the board to architects, project managers, designers, bricklayers, stone masons, electricians, joiners and the sales team.

ICONIC BUILDING

We are all very excited by this project. It’s an iconic building in a perfect location right next to York Racecourse and was built by Noel and Frank Terry in 1926, from one of the UK’s great family companies.

We aim to show the same ambition and care as they did as we convert the building into spectacular new homes that we think will be unrivaled in the area.

We are aiming to launch the first properties in Spring 2016.

Clementine Allen – Resident at The Residence in Lancaster.

RESIDENT AT THE RESIDENCE

Clementine Allens Story

The Residence at Lancaster Moor has established itself as the premier address in Lancaster, a magnificent development in a stunning setting and home to a mix of lovely people who are now proud to call it home. Lovely people like Clementine Allen who swapped a large seven bedroom Georgian property ten miles out of the city for life in one of the building’s stunning penthouses.

It was a dramatic but successful shift and she said: “I lived in my old home for 47 years but have not missed it once – isn’t that odd? But the time was right and I know I made the right decision because I already feel settled here. My apartment has high ceilings, lovely windows, a private terrace so no gardening and is all on one level, so no stairs. Some of the pieces of furniture I brought with me are large but they fit in perfectly and it all came up in the lift!

EXCELLENT MIX OF RESIDENTS
“There are only eight apartments in this section and I have already met some interesting neighbours and I love the mix of people living here.”

She also fell in love with the character of her new home which features a distinctive oriel window in the spacious living room and has views over open playing fields from the terrace.

Clementine, owner of the renowned Pizza Margherita restaurant in the city centre is passionate about Lancaster and a member of the Civic Trust.

She said: “When you downsize you don’t want smaller rooms – you just want fewer of them. And you want to be nearer to things and part of life not shut away or stuck somewhere remote in the country.

SCALE AND GRANDEUR
“The Residence is perfect. It offers scale and grandeur but is close to everything. From here I can walk into the city and a taxi back costs just £3.90 so no parking charges which makes it far easier to get to the restaurant.

“I like the fact there are all ages of people here and I look over the new build houses where hopefully there will be families and children. It is nice to be able to hear the sound of children playing.

“I had my two children young and now have four grandchildren with a great grandchild on the way and I love them coming to visit.

“I think I am forging a new way – downsizing into the city. Maybe it’s because in my head I still feel 19, but I can certainly recommend it!”

Name for New Development at MMU in Didsbury Announced

NAME FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT

The former MMU campus in Didsbury renamed

We are delighted to announce that our redevelopment of the former MMU campus in Didsbury will be called St. James Park.

The name reflects the area’s first recorded building, a small chapel that is noted in records back in 1236, and later became St James Church.

Didsbury grew up around the church and village green, alongside the smithy and the two pubs and in fact the ‘Didsbury St James Conservation Area’ has the greatest concentration of listed buildings in Manchester, outside the city centre.

Discussions with passionate and enthusiastic local historians confirmed that St James Park is an appropriate name for a development that will form a new heart for the village.The handsome facade of the Administration Building will be used for the distinctive logo.

HIGH INTEREST IN NEWLY BUILT HOMES

The Residence is setting new standards in Lancaster, and the location is truly unique

A collection of individually designed newly built family homes at The Residence are setting new standards in Lancaster, and the location they enjoy is truly unique and stunning.

Positioned at the top of the site with their own separate access road they enjoy a view of the magnificent restored hospital building from the front aspect, while the west facing gardens enjoy afternoon sun with an outlook over pretty unspoilt meadows.

9 REMAINING PROPERTIES
There are only 9 of the collection 24 properties still available, arranged in pairs, all with three bedrooms and garages but offering different ground floor lay outs to suit different lifestyles.

We think they offer buyers the best of all worlds – light, spacious, modern living of the highest standard all set within a prominent iconic heritage site.

Exciting plans for a key high specification residential site in Woodbridge, Suffolk, have now been revealed.

The plans will see 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 will also be three affordable homes as part of the scheme.

INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED PROPERTIES
PJ Livesey director James Woodmansee, said: “This is a lovely site in a great location and we believe the houses we are planning here will be equally

special and highly sought after. As a company we do not have a standard house type so the properties have been designed individually to fit the locality and the topography of the site.”

“We have a strong affinity with East Anglia with many completed schemes such as Read Mills in Norwich, and also Whittlingham Hall and Crow Hall in Norfolk – all now thriving communities and desirable places to live.”

The Cedar House site was purchased by the PJ Livesey Group from Suffolk Coastal District Council as part of its consolidation of accommodation.

The Council’s current Melton Hall headquarters, which sit opposite the Cedar House site, are also currently being marketed with a view to converting into residential properties.

EXPERIENCE
James added: “The PJ Livesey Group has 35 years’ experience of converting historic properties into luxurious homes alongside developing bespoke, sympathetic new build homes across the UK.
