ABOUT THE CEDARS
THE FORMER CEDAR HOUSE
This 3.4 acre (approx.) site is within 5 mins walking distance from the centre of Woodbridge, set in a mature woodland setting on a high ridge overlooking the River Debden and Sutton Hoo.
Cedar House is believed to have been built between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, although major alterations were carried out during the late Victorian or Edwardian era.
Surviving original features include the bay sash windows, window blind boxes, heavy mouldings to the bays and entrance porches. There is also a three-storey extension
(also late Victorian or Edwardian) to the side of the building, as well as a coach house of the same era, used as garage. Most recently, Cedar House has been used to house local charity’s since 1996, but it was handed back to Suffolk Coastal by the Cedar House Trust on 1 August 2013.
Work has completed on site with all properties now sold. The development consists of 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 are also be three affordable homes as part of the scheme.

ABOUT WHARFEDALE PARK
THE FORMER WHARFEDALE HOSPITAL
Typical of many Victorian hospitals, this range of listed buildings was replaced by the new Wharfedale Hospital in 2005 after 132 years of service in the town. The HCA acquired the site under the Hospital sites Programme and in 2012 selected the PJ Livesey Group as the preferred developer.
Although the site had an existing planning consent we refined this to deliver a lower density and higher quality scheme, achieving planning in late 2013. The development comprises of 61 units in total with 37 refurbished properties within six existing listed buildings, along with a further 24 new build houses.
The final property was handed over in Autumn 2016 and the redevelopment has been a catalyst for regeneration in the town.
As documented in our News and Events section of this website, we discovered a time capsule which had been buried at the time of the buildings original opening. We opened the capsule and preserved the contents and with help from local schoolchildren re-filled and re-sealed the glass jar and it is now reburied on the site for future generations to discover.

ABOUT WESTWOOD PARK
THE FORMER WESTWOOD HOSPITAL
Opened in 1861 as a workhouse, Westwood Hospital occupies a stunning setting overlooking the ancient Weswood Pasture on the edge of this historic town. Replaced by a brand new community hospital in 2011, the NHS selected P J Livesey as development partner in 2012 given the specialist nature of the redevelopment.
Our scheme comprised the conversion of the Main Building, Archway Building (both grade II listed) and the former Guardian’s Boardroom into 20 apartments and houses. Alongside these 33 new build houses were planned, designed specifically for this special setting.
As with many P J Livesey developments, once onsite we were able to revise the scheme to salvage more of the period buildings, in this case the old Master’s Cottage and Lodge, together with revisions to the new build to incorporate luxury apartments given local demand.
The site had posed a number of challenges, not least access through narrow town centre streets. However new life has been breathed into this corner of Beverley and the local conservation groups and community are extremely pleased with the results.

ABOUT THE RESIDENCE, YORK & THE CLOCK TOWER
THE FORMER TERRY’S CHOCOLATE FACTORY
An icon on the skyline of this historic city, we are extremely proud to have this site in our portfolio. Working with Henry Boot Developments as landowner, we were selected to redevelop the 180,000 sq ft five storey main building overlooking York Racecourse and the River Ouse.
The scheme consists of some of the highest quality luxury apartments ever created in the north of England, designed to entice national and international buyers to this historic city. Originally based around a five year programme, the scheme has been such a success that it will be completed in under two years. Sales have averaged 10-15 per month throughout the scheme, far outstripping competing
developments locally, and it is a testament to the company that our construction team have kept pace with this demand.
As conversion of the main building into 163 apartments is now completed, we began work on the conversion of the former Clock Tower into a further 23 apartments. There is also a retail unit within our conversion.
Winner of the Insider Yorkshire Property Awards ‘Best Residential Scheme’ in 2016, ‘The Residence’ showcases the strength of P J Livesey in tackling comprehensive redevelopment.
