The Kings School in Macclesfield is one of the most ancient schools in the country, tracing its roots back to 1502.

Originally known as ‘The Free Grammar School of King Edward VI’ it occupied different locations in Macclesfield before moving to the Cumberland Road site in 1854.

In 2020 the school relocated to a purpose-built facility in Prestbury and planning permission was granted to convert the 5.3 acre site to housing.

The PJ Livesey Group acquired the site in 2021 and, after significantly revising and reducing the scheme, we began work the following year to create a new community of character and heritage within walking distance of the town centre.

The historic original school building and headmasters house will sympathetically converted and continue to be the centrepiece of the development, with a small number of new build houses and spacious apartments set around the cherry tree lined cricket field.

Entry to the scheme will be through the original wrought iron gates off Cumberland Road and the Grade II listed lodge house will be converted into one unique property.

The much-loved Memorial Cricket Pavilion, so significant to the town’s history, will remain in its original position and will be converted into two affordable homes.

New walking and cycling routes will run through the site and the original cricket pitch will be a welcoming green space with a new memorial dedicated to the Kings School pupils who lost their lives in war.

The first homes are due for completion in 2023.

ABOUT TAPTON COURT

THE FORMER TAPTON HALL

Tapton Court is a historic building in the desirable suburb of Ranmoor to the west of Sheffield city centre. Built in 1868 for one of Sheffield’s many steel magnates it is an imposing stone villa standing in 3.5 acres of mature walled grounds.

We will be bringing it back to the majesty of its heyday, preserving many of its original features such as the ornate staircase and arched windows and converting the space to create 14 mansion apartments within its splendid walls.

The original stable block and Gate House lodge will also be converted to create two unique individual properties.

A newer annexe, built to provide accommodation for nurses at the nearby hospital and most recently used by Sheffield University as halls of residence, is being retained and will be converted to provide 18 luxury 2, 3 & 4 bedroom apartments.

Four sympathetically designed new family homes will also be built within the grounds while retaining the estate’s historic terraced wall.

Ranmoor has long been an affluent area with many grand properties built for the city’s great industrialists. It also has a Grade II listed church, St Paul’s, the tower and spire of which date back to 1879.

The PJ Livesey Group has started work Green Walk, our latest residential development located at the Siemens Campus at West Didsbury, Manchester. The scheme will provide a mix of 46 contemporary town houses around a central courtyard including 50 apartments in a landmark new building, with access to the development from Nell Lane.

 The apartments, a mix of one, two and three bedrooms, will all have large private balconies and purchasers of the penthouse properties will have access to their own private roof terraces.

The contemporary houses share a bold architectural style with the apartments and will be a mix of four and five-bedroom executive family homes with gardens, roof terraces and generous, modern interior spaces.

The homes are part of wider redevelopment of the nine acre site which will also incorporate new offices aimed at medical and technical businesses and improved landscaping. The scheme accessed from Nell Lane in West Didsbury will sit alongside the existing Sir William Siemens House and the new £65m Spire Manchester Hospital.

PROJECT COMPLETION

Completed

The principal building on this site is a Grade II listed former villa, The Cedars, built in c.1857 and attributed to architect Edward Walters. The building was one of several large villas built for wealthy families in this area of Didsbury, marking the Victorian expansion of the village.

During its domestic use the house had ancillary buildings to the rear, including the extant coach house and kitchen gardens, with landscaped pleasure gardens to the south and west sides. The original entrance was to the west side of the house, from the front drive. Didsbury Lodge to the east is not listed but the lodge and entrance gate piers related to it are separately listed Grade II.

Work has begun at 825 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury to

convert the listed buildings and former offices to residential and build 22 family sized newly built homes.

The project will bring the handsome Grade II listed Victorian Vila, Cedar House, converted to grand apartments, the Coach House that served the villa will become two properties and the Lodge restored to make one unique property.

The red brick Parklands will also be retained and converted to provide 39 contemporary apartments while a second office building, Aspen House, will be demolished to make way for 22 new build homes.

In total the site will provide 85 new homes.
