THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

The complex transformation of Cedar House at Woodbridge in Suffolk is almost complete.

This historic mansion house has been turned back to front to create a truly unique home of grand proportions and character within walking distance of the upmarket town centre.

It is approached down a private tree-lined drive and sits perfectly within its gardens seamlessly blending character and history with the best of new design and modern layout.

It has been a labour of love for the teams working on the project and outstanding features include the grand entrance hallway with hand carved oak staircase, bespoke kitchen and a full width master suite with dressing area and en-suite.

Cedar House sits just a stroll from Woodbridge’s heritage high street and station with rail connections meaning London is a little over two hours away.

ROOM WITH A VIEW

We have just launched new apartments for sale at our leafy Moor Park development in historic Lancaster

It is a gorgeous site, just five minutes from the city centre, and the views from the apartment building will make the most of its glorious location. Even at first floor they look out towards the lush Bowland Fells and in the other direction towards the handsome façade of the Grade II listed Lancaster Moor Hospital building at the top of the rise. Sales negotiator Claire Barron, who donned hard hat and boots to check out the view for buyers, said: “The view is wonderful – and this is just at first floor level. From the penthouse roof terraces, it will be exceptional. The height gives a new perspective to the site which is already very green and tranquil.”

Bowland House will have just 20 apartments ranged over three floors and each of them – whether one, two or three bedrooms – will have its own private outside space with ground floor gardens, balconies to the first floor and penthouses roof terraces

Claire said: “The apartments are in a bespoke building in a leafy corner of the site and are going to be gorgeous. Not just the emphasis on outdoor space and nature and views but the interior specification and the amount of space.

“I don’t think there is an opportunity like this anywhere else in the area.”

First time buyers may be interested in a one bedroom garden apartment priced at just £124,995 which comes with allocated parking. A top floor penthouse with three bedrooms and two roof terraces giving dual aspect views is a real option for anyone looking to downsize without compromising on quality or lifestyle

Breathing new life into historic buildings

BRINGING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT

Heritage buildings often sit at the very heart of a PJ Livesey development

At St. James Park in Didsbury we have converted three Grade II listed gems – The former Administration Building (Sandhurst House), The Chapel (Chapel House) and the Gate House (The Lodge) – to create 42 unique homes – all of which are now occupied.

Bringing old buildings back into new use, upgrading them to meet the latest building regulations and providing modern comforts is what P J Livesey has built its reputation on and requires a host of skills.

Sandhurst House is said to have the most handsome main road frontage in Manchester but while this façade was protected by a Grade II* listing the rear had not been so lucky with an ugly 1980s extension tacked onto one side and a variety of buildings crammed into the central courtyard.

Demolishing the extension created a raw edge to the building and we called on our Trafford Park neighbours Mather & Ellis to use their stone masonry skills to recreate the original, exactly matching the wing on the other side of the building.

We worked with Mather & Ellis at our Didsbury Gate development on Nell Lane, and their skills are extraordinary. The teams created a mini workshop on site, also working in the courtyard carrying out ‘honest repairs’ around the building to show the new interventions.

Original roof tiles on all three listed buildings were removed, cleaned by hand and carefully ordered and stored before being re-used. The windows were painstakingly removed and taken to our Trafford Park workshop to be restored by hand. So too the original front doors of all three buildings.

This meticulous attention to detail is what makes a P J Livesey property stand out and means all our developments leave a lasting legacy for everyone to be proud of.

New Didsbury Villas

NEW DIDSBURY VILLAS

We are building a modern take on the ‘Didsbury Villa’ next to our sold out St. James Park site

The period Victorian properties are much sought after in this popular suburb but can present problems when it comes to maintenance, energy efficiency, parking – even the number of bathrooms that can be accommodated to suit a growing family.

On Sandhurst Road we are building just four properties that have all the grace and style of an original Villa – without the problems.

Five or six bedrooms, four of them en-suite, open plan kitchen/family/dining area with large bi-fold doors to the south facing garden and a driveway with electric gates and a double garage.

Plus there are lots of added features such as a private terrace leading off the master bedroom suite, a media room and state of the art lighting and fittings.

They sit on one of Didsbury’s premier tree-lined roads right opposite a quiet entrance to the lovely Didsbury Park and a short stroll to the bars and restaurants of Didsbury Village itself.

Construction of the properties is well underway but there is still the opportunity for buyers to specify finishes and customise their modern villa home.

MAKE THE SMART MOVE

Buy your new home at our stunning Moor Park development

More and more people are making the smart move to Moor Park in Lancaster. High ceilings, spacious, practical family areas, bi-fold doors to private gardens and a glorious country setting make these natural stone houses stand out from other properties on the market in Lancaster.

The developer is the respected developer PJ Livesey, the family firm that converted the neighbouring Lancaster Moor Hospital into award winning apartments.

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce, said: “Since the beginning of the year buyers who have been considering all developments in the area have come and reserved at Moor Park.

“There are so many more developments in and around Lancaster since we started converting at the iconic Hospital and buyers have a great deal of choice. We have found that as soon as buyers come to visit Moor Park after looking at other properties, they can see the real difference in what is on

offer here. You cannot get a feel for Moor Park from a piece of paper and we like nothing more than showing what makes us stand out.

“The lifestyle and setting on offer is unrivalled and we have already reserved four properties in January with buyers interested in a further three!”

There are now just two Oakbrook properties still available and they are premium plots with open aspects and priced from £329,950. These exceptionally spacious four bedroom properties have a large formal living room as well as open plan kitchen and family space with bi-fold doors leading onto the garden.

Help To Buy is available on all properties – just ask our sales team for details.

Designer dressed show home is open on site and available to view.

MOOR PARK HAS IT’S OWN LOCAL RETAILER

Bespoke retail unit next to our Moor Park development will be a Co-op Food Store

Designed to fit in with the development and serve the local neighbourhood the 4,000sq ft store will have its own dedicated car parking for customers.

We have selected the Rochdale based retailer as part of the group’s commitment to supporting local suppliers and producers, together with its strong community support. Construction work will start in Spring as part of the second phase of the development and will open before the end of 2018.

Moor Park is a collection of handsome substantial stone built houses approached down a mature tree lined drive and sits in the grounds of the ‘The Residence’, the award-winning P J Livesey conversion of the former Lancaster Moor Hospital.

The food store is one of a number of community benefits enabled by the development. Other substantial contributions have been made to a local bus service and improvements to nearby football pitches and neighbouring open space.
