THE CHRISTIE ‘WALK OF HOPE’ AT TATTON PARK

One Team, One Week, 1,000 Miles!

PJ Livesey colleagues took part in this year’s ‘Walk of Hope’ through Tatton Park to support The Christie hospital in Manchester.

But in typical PJ Livesey style we added to the challenge by committing to walk every day in the week leading up to the walk and also remember and celebrate the life of colleague Ralph Brocklehurst who sadly died from cancer last year.

‘Tread it for Ralph’ saw colleagues clocking up the miles on a treadmill in our Trafford Park HQ entrance throughout the week ahead of the actual walk with a final push tied in with a social event at the offices.

We were aiming for a total of 500 miles but in total walked a staggering 1,368 miles and raised £7,234.

The care Ralph received from The Christie was exceptional and every penny raised will help fund more research and care.

In 2021, we raised £11,000 walking, running and cycling 25,000 miles, ‘Around the World for Ralph’. You can read more about ‘Around the World for Ralph here.

A spokesperson for The Christie said: “It was wonderful to see more than 50 staff and their families join us for our recent ‘Walk of Hope’ event. This is an exceptional turnout from one company and not only is it a lasting testament to a wonderful colleague, but the money raised will make a very real difference to the lives of cancer patients and their families. Well done everyone involved and a huge thank you from all at The Christie.”

SUSTAINABLE LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE COTSWOLDS

Energy efficient houses creating sustainable living in this unique historic setting

Our Green Walk development at the beautiful Standish Estate in the Cotswolds boasts superb new properties set in landscaped grounds, centred round a Grade II listed villa.

It’s a beautiful site, repurposing heritage buildings to become modern homes and with a wide range of new build properties to suit people at all stages of life.

Our latest release is a trio of supremely energy efficient houses where the latest technology is incorporated to create luxurious, sustainable living in this unique historic setting.

These are exceptional houses, offering spacious, flexible accommodation, set over three levels to make the most of the views, with their own private gardens.

Group sales manager Gavin Pearce, said: “The range of properties available at Green Walk, often surprises buyers but means we are creating a truly mixed community where old buildings are cherished and new homes sit comfortably alongside.

“The Hawthorn house type offers the opportunity to live in this lovely setting in a property that generates its own power and will be incredibly efficient to run.

“We believe it offers buyers the rare opportunity to purchase a very large property which meets the highest environmental standards in a development that will never be replicated.”

The high tech green trio will have: waste water heat recovery systems, triple glazing, exceptional insulation, photo-voltaic panels and the facility to store the power created, and the potential for electric vehicle charging.

Added up it means that the properties will use 43% less energy.

The contemporary design of the properties complements these eco credentials with multi-functional spaces that could easily accommodate the growing trend for multi- generational living.

The grand entrance, which can also be accessed directly from the garage, leads through into the high specification open plan kitchen/family/dining area which spans the full width of the house with bi-fold doors leading directly onto a balcony. This level also offers a private study, utility and powder room.

Wide stairs take you to the lower level with a large living area opening directly onto the private garden.

This level also offers a self-contained guest suite and a multi-functional room that can be accessed directly from outside which could be a media room/den or second living room.

The master suite is on the first floor together with three more large double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite. There is also a master bathroom and ample storage.

Gavin added: “Green Walk is a stunning development, approached through a gate house and up a private drive and offers buyers a completely different way of life with walks around the estate passed century old trees and direct access to woodland walks and the surrounding countryside.

“These homes offer buyers their own eco-retreat, yet are just ten minutes from the town of Stonehouse with its direct rail link into London and a 15-minute trip to Stroud.”

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!”
